Heads up for anyone looking at the online menu in 2025 they haven’t updated it yet but the prices of things have increased significantly. I ordered what would have been a $35 using te online prices but with the actual prices it turned out to be nearly $65

Took a tour through the menu this evening with friends. We have never been to this establishment, but have visited the sister building next door several times (Handsome Hobo's).
Everything we ordered was good.
We started with pomegranate martinis, beer and whiskey, the martinis were mixed beautifully.
Next we ordered a couple appetizers. The Beach Bread and Spicy Tavern Chips.
Beach Bread - I had read another reviewer state the beach bread was overpriced. I 100% agree. The bread was good, but it definitely should have double the portion for the $8.99 price. It's pretty laughable. A 1/2 measly slice of sub bread was served on a large dinner plate with cheese/tomatoes on it. It just looked pathetic. Sorry Hobos -but that appetizer definitely needs review!
The Spicy Tavern Chips were on point.
For dinner we ordered the perch, a filet mignon, and a dinner salad between our group for dinner. Everything was decent. The perch was good, the steak was seasoned nicely and the salad was fresh.
For dessert we ordered what was recommended -the Chocolate Macadamia Nut Brownie Cake and the Oreo Crust Peanut Butter Pie. Both were good.
Our service was great, food was decent for this style restaurant, - the bread portion is my only valid complaint.

Steak was not prepared well, overcooked. Bartender a little bit slow, although he did not have a lot of customers.

Don't order the beach bread for 8.99 it's a rip off it's a warm piece of 6 inch sub bun with a few tomatoes and mozzarella on it not worth 3 bucks. Ribs on the other hand were ok

I usually have a splendid time here and enjoy my meals. Although on my last trip everyone's meat at my table was still moving pink when it was supposed to be medium. It was basically blue rare. When I brought it up to our server she recooked only my meal, left me with a blood soggy bun, all the extra condiments were cooked out, and she was overall rude. I hope my next trip isn't as bad as the last.

The picture is of a meal I got a few months ago

So my wife ordered the vodka fettuccine with shrimp and she gave it a thumbs down for lack of flavor but the bread was good. The chef needs to evaluate the flavor on his pasta

Steve LaPres

Service was spot on. Food was also spot on. I had the 8oz. filet with mashed potatoes and gravey and corn. Absolutely delicious...

TLDR: We’ve visited this place several times now and have always been satisfied by the pleasant service, good food, and comfortable atmosphere.

This visit, I ordered a PIGEON HILL BEACH PLEASE (sooo good and refreshing and I appreciated that they had it on tap).

We ordered the Pork BBQ Nachos (Hand pulled pork tossed in hickory house BBQ, covered in cheddar cheese and topped with lettuce, tomatoes, corn,red onion and black beans) and I am told that they were “gewd” ?.

I ordered the Fettuccine Vodka Alfredo (A blend of northern Italian marinara and Parmesan cream sauce. With Chicken Scallopini, Shrimp - what I got ?- or Blackened Atlantic Salmon) and it was delicious. The pasta was perfectly cooked, however, I felt like the shrimp were undercooked and I left a couple behind because the texture wasn’t good/edible. The bread that the pasta was served with, though?? I didn’t expect there to be garlic toast and it was probably the best I’ve ever had!

The parents ordered the Beer Battered Cheese Curds (they weren’t as hungry as we were) and I had one to try, and holy cow were they good! The best cheese curds/cheese sticks/cheese anything as an appetizer I’ve ever had. I’d highly recommend these!

We’ve been here before; we’ll be here again.

Make sure to cook the shrimp a bit more, kitchen! ?

Parking: Plenty of parking in the free lot.
