This was probably the worst breakfast experience I’ve ever had.Took about 30 mins to get a coffee. About hour for our food to come with about 4 tables in the whole establishment. Silverware was dirty. Didn’t get served waters. Absolutely zero awareness from anyone working in this establishment. Save your $.

Food was very good…. just don’t like having their liberal views being pushed while trying to eat. Nice folks….. just won’t be back. Enjoy your protests!

This was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. We love the original location where staff always seems to work hard and bust their tail to get tables served. This location however had only 8 tables with 3 servers and were extremely overwhelmed.

We arrived at 11:05, were not seated with no one in front of us until 11:10 and no one came over to take our coffee order for 10 minutes. We received coffee but no waters. No one took our food order until 11:40. Our original server came up after our order was taken and let us know he “forgot” about us because it was “busy”. All while servers are standing around, cook constantly asking for food to be run, no coffee refills until told to. We did not receive food until 12:10 and my husband’s bacon was cold. I watched it sit in the window for 20 minutes before the rest of our food was ready. Servers literally do not care about working hard. Whoever is hiring needs to evaluate the talent they are bringing in.

I asked for a manager and was told that the training server was a manager. She brought our check and when I complained simply said “we only have one chef.” Not even acknowledging that the problem was the SERVICE not the food. If I could give 0 stars, I would.

Safe to say we will never be back, this experience makes us not even want to go back to the original location - which we love the service and food at.

No heat, glacial service and the kitchen cranking music out at 11 on the volume dial. Has the feel of business on its way out.

Party of three visited on Jan 26. Was 35F outside, 51F inside. Pretty cold to try to eat a meal. Wasn't busy. Person who seated us took our drink order. Diet Pepsi, hot tea, coffee. Received three waters. Waited 15 minutes for server. Let her know our drinks. Got coffee 15 minutes later, Pepsi in a can, no cup or ice, and no hot tea.

Ordered an omelette and two Cajun Burgers, medium rare at 12:25pm. Food arrived at 12:50pm. Burgers murdered to well done. Greese pooled under the bun, soaked through, dripping down our hands as we ate. Omelette was okay, slightly overcooked.

Our fourth visit, and each time, it's gotten worse. Friendly servers have turned over; haven't seen them in months. Pro tip: the unisex bathroom has a heater in it to keep the pipes from freezing. Bring your meal in there so you can feel your fingers.

Maybe its a good place for drinks, but we decided to scratch it off our list of places we'll return to.

It's a comfortable place to get a tasty breakfast. The piquant chicken soup is delicious.

The food was fairly good but the prices you have to be careful with. I ordered the 2 eggs and 3 fixens and they charged me for the fixens that came with the meal. 5 full tables of 2 people and it took 40 minutes to get our food. Last time there.

Waste of time. Came by myself at 11am on a Sunday for brunch, and they couldn't seat me with empty tables everywhere. Super disappointed. Won't be coming back.

Great to have a new neighborhood bar in North Deering. Since Sala Thai closed there is not much out here. We do have the perennial favorite Bruno's down the street; delicious Italian food.

The food at this new Pub is surprisingly good and of a fair value. The wait staff is pleasant and attentive. The cook takes pride in his work.

I was there last week with a friend. We enjoyed the pretty, outside deck while music from the fun band drifted out to us.

My friend had a delicious burger and appetizer; I had the Fish & Chips. Drinks were tasty, strong and a fair value too. Good selectiin of drinks, food and seating. It's kid friendly, too. Many Southern specials to try next time including the tasty treats. We'll be back.

Just bad experience all around. Food was surprising bland except for the seasoning they dump on after eggs plating. Home fries and toast both burned. Rice and beans tasted sour as if they were going bad. And the server couldn’t even remember if she took our order or not and had to check with us. Then we waited and waited for the check.

Excellent food with generous portions. Great service, too!
When we're back in the area, we'll definitely eat here again ?
