“A comfy atmosphere with great food and fast service.“

“Cooked to order, so you do have a small wait, but it's worth it. They will bring your order to your table, you can mobile order, they bring it to your car, or use the drive through, which can take a little time, but the food is cooked when you order it. They have a high standard and meet it each visit. One of my families favorite places to eat!“

“1st time there, had the buffalo chicken salad. it was awesome. the atmosphere is great, the staff are very friendly, very clean everywhere. service was excellent! Great job!A+++++“

“Cellar House is my favorite restaurant in South County by a wiiiiide margin! I try to stop in at least once every couple of months and make it my business to always attend their pop-up dining events. Cellar House features an ever-evolving seasonal menu with new offerings every quarter as well as menu staples that never get old. The Tuna Sliders are an entree favorite of mine and the goat cheese and brussel sprouts appetizers never disappoint. The flatbreads are always creative and flavorful as well. For dessert I’m always ordering the bread pudding if it’s on the menu!

Though the food is fabulous I’m a sucker for their creative cocktail selections and no matter what I choose it doesn’t seem like they can mix a bad one. I particularly love their bourbon and mezcal cocktails. And during the holiday pop-up there’s always a flaming drink to be had. I’m a sucker for an aromatic herb smoke to accompany my cocktail.

Finally, we have to talk about the staff. The servers, bartenders, and hosts are never anything but kind, warm, and helpful. Shout out to Jose for being the absolute best as well. And of course the owner is almost always present to welcome diners and is himself just such a sweet person. If you dine here you’ll be made to feel like family and the entire atmosphere is so inviting and comfortable.“

“Great pinball bar!! The selection of pinball games is excellent. Bartender was a little to boisterous, but still nice. We went on a Saturday night, it was dead... let me tell you why. Karaoke, and it was HORRIBLE. Not that having karaoke is horrible, it's the few people that were there that couldn't sing. You could tell it was a few regulars and that's what is keeping more people from coming. We left because it was so bad. Will definitely be back though when no karaoke is going on“

“Starting off, hostess Emma was so friendly and accommodating for our group, quickly getting us seated and squared away with our server. Food portions were big and priced right.

We will hopefully be back soon, mostly for the welcoming faces who took care of us.“

“2nd time here while passing through with a crew I oversee and thought I'd buy them lunch. Had the steak sandwich again it's once again. delicious. Same chef as last time. Waitress, girl with black pigtails, sorry (forgot your name) was friendly and attentive.

Might be known as a biker bar but delivers in other areas.“

We asked for a table , then changed our minds and wanted a booth instead, and the staff still was really nice about it. I give 5 stars.“

I also attended an event recently which served their taco bar and it was outstanding! Highly recommend for big parties etc.“

“Went through the drive thru and was told to pull around to a parking spot as our wedges were not quite done. 16 minutes later, as I'm heading inside to find out what in the world is taking so long, he was heading out with our food. I had requested a couple lives for my dogs, which they have often given them at the drive thru in the past, and he said he'd have to check to see how generous, I guess the manager, was feeling. When he brought out the food, I asked snotty the livers and he said, I'm sorry, I forgot to ask. So, I asked him to go check, after waiting this long, is how they were feeling generous! They were, they actually gave me quite a few! That makes my dogs very happy and therefore I'm very happy. Plus the food was very good, and hot! We had the 12 piece tenders meal, it was all very tasty, my husband really liked their baked beans! So, besides the wait time, everything was great! Would recommend and we will be back!“

“Had breakfast there this morning as my wife and I have done for many years. Stephanie has been our server for the entire time. Always text her in advance of our arrival. She has our coffee and cups waiting for us at our table. She has us down as one of her "regulars". She is the best.“

“I just needed to add one of my favorite servers! I have been going more because of Haley! She is phenomenal! Please keep her around! Haley was patient, nice, and funny! She made sure to check on me every chance she got! Thanks again, Haley!“
