“Honestly. Amazing pizza, amazing people, and an amazing atmosphere. It was my first time there and I would definitely come back. If you are hungry looking for a quick pizza to snack on. Where else would you go? Just go here. It's amazing 🤩“

“Don't let the more generic signage displaying the restaurant keep you from trying this place out. Their formula of a smaller menu of excellently themed US regional sandwiches coupled with a great selection of beer is something truly original. The simplicity and focus on quality food and service is a home run.

Also, they have a regular special that ended up being a sandwich, a side, and a beer for less than 20 bucks. I really hope this place sticks around.“

“Great variety of beer on tap, tasty pizza, friendly beertenders“

“I was about 15 minutes late arriving and my friends were just being shown to our table when we had no reservation at 6:30 on a Friday evening. We were upstairs and the tables around the open area of the restaurant were quiet enough for understandable conversation, though there were a lot of conversations going on in the restaurant. The waitress was attentive. She brought water without being prompted. She checked back frequently to get appetizer, additional drinks and dinner orders. Shrimp taco was delicious. The tomatoes on it did not make the wrap too soggy. There was nothing special about the fries or the chicken wings. The sauces for the wings were delicious. It was a good location to meet, converse and have a fine meal after a nice day's sail.“
