My first visit here was yesterday. The name of the place is awfully pretentious, but it doesn't stop there. The lunch I tried was their Best Ever Pork Cutlet. It was pretty good, but.......best ever? I knocked the atmosphere for this place down a star because the interior lighting was way too dark for my taste, but that's just me. Coming in out of bright sunlight makes it a safety issue in my opinion. I will mention that this was one of the few places I've been that really knows how to do french fries right - crunchy outside with a soft interior. The place was a little run down, but they certainly are confident, and their prices are quite reasonable.

best burger of my life. thick, juicy, charbroiled. bun was toasted and buttery. I was pleasantly surprised. I called it in after seeing a client in the area and was too tired to cook and this was on the way home. I walked in and it looked like your typical hole in the wall bar. Reeked of cigarettes so my expectations were low. But man, I will be back for that burger. Nothing fancy but perfect. Got the Alaskan burger and it was HUGE. Could only eat about a third before tapping out. Picked up at 6:45 on a Monday. There weren't many people. Burger was fine in 15 min from when I called

5 stars because I didn't expect to have this much fun on a Monday. I stopped in with my daughters (18 and 21) on our way home. They have free trivia on Mondays. Who knew? The menu is no frills but plenty of good burgers and sandwiches to pick from. The prices are very reasonable. I had the pork cutlet sandwich and it was very good. They are one of the few remaining businesses left in this plaza. They do allow smoking in here, but it is not too heavy that you can't enjoy your meal.

I've never left a bad review for any place before but I have to do this because I need to spread a word of caution so others are not taken advantage of. If I could give this place zero stars I would. They should be written up at the BBB for bad business and an F rating for how disgusting it is inside. It's not clean, it's so smokey. I would never order food here because of the environment and lack of cleanliness. Last night we went in for a late night drink when another bar had just closed. I obliged my friends and 2 friends ordered a beer and I got a seltzer, the bill was $60 something dollars. There is no way those prices were not messed up for what we ordered. My boyfriend paid that tab. Later on he took shots of Tully with 2 guys. When he went to pay that bill it said 3 Woodford and 2 vodkas. He hadn't ordered vodka drinks or shots and Woodford is absolutely one of the higher priced bourbons, which he didn't order. I said it wasn't our tab and the bartender got a huge attitude and slammed down the bill and said it was. That tab was $111. I said we didn't get those drinks and she told us to pay and leave. The bartender was extremely rude to us from the start and was taking advantage of us by screwing us over. I told my boyfriend I never took him there because of how gross it was. He said he loved the vibe of it being a dive bar but I'm just glad he'll never ask to go back because of how terrible our experience was. I know times are hard at finding staff but they can do better than this bartender. We will not be back and I have already told a handful of people about our experience. I will continue to spread the word of how they take advantage of the customers and screw them over if they think you're drunk, which we were not anyway. I don't want the same thing to happen to anyone else! Highly recommend that you don't give this business money but if you do, go at your own risk and please be careful!

They had 1 bar tender and no waitress. After 10 minutes of waiting to be waited on, we got up and asked for menus. We then had to go back to the bar to order. It really was not extremely busy. There were maybe 8 people at the bar and one other table of 2. The cook brought the food to the table. I probably would not go
Famous Demetrus was an amazing server. Very attentive to my dinner needs. Need more Demetrus’s.
