Good food, but small portions with high prices. Thirty-dollars for a two-meat plate, with brisket, and still feeling hungry when I left will make me think twice about returning.
Decided to stop in while in Rochester for appointments at Mayo Clinic. Food was delicious (and this is coming from an overly picky person)! Definitely would stop back in here again. This place is a local gem and I would highly recommend to outside travelers. Both my food, the sliced turkey, and my husband’s, the brisket and half chicken were so good. Mashed potatoes were great and my husband commented that the cole slaw is some of the best he’s ever had. You need to try this place! Wish there was one back home.

Im gluten free, so not much I can eat here. However I love the burrito bowl with corn tortillas. Super good and fresh ingredients. Would love to see more GF options in the future 😋
Female bartender was in a bad mood that night. Didn't seem happy to be working and was negative

For some reason our server Tanner only came to the table 3 times, and one of them I had to stop him.
My wife's pop was completely empty and he walked by 7 or 8 times before I had to ask him for a refill.
He spent time at his other tables laughing and joking.
But nothing over here.
And they were dead. Never went on a wait the whole time we were here.
Asked for 2 boxes ,got 1 and no bag.
Had to ask s waitress in order to get it. As he was joking around with his other tables.
Little does he know I worked in the hospitality industry for over 40 yrs.
And my tips start at $25.
He worked his way down to $15.

My wife and I went there last week. I ordered a beer, it was warm. I let the bar tender know. She talked to the mgr, apparently the plug for the beer cooler was unplugged. They plugged it back in, no apologies given.
We order an appetizer, was pretty good. Ordered a 2nd app, Stuffed peppers. They were stuffed with meat and cream cheese. The was just gross, then they didn't clean all the seeds out. They were so hot we couldn't eat them. The bar tender just said sometimes they don't get all the seeds out. No apologies, no offer to make it right.
We did try one more app, it was so-so.
Based on that visit, we will never be back. They apparently don't care about the customer.

The food all looked good I didn’t know what to get. I decided upon the Mac Attack burger. Great choice for sure. It was so good would definitely order again maybe after trying some of their other options that I saw at some other tables. Their homemade sauces are all worth a try. Though not for me my friends at the table did enjoy them. One even put some BBQ sauce in their Mac and Cheese.
