It had been several years since I had been there. Then I remembered why. Sevice was very slow, had to wait almost 20 minutes for coffee and had to flag someone down to get another cup. The food was nothing special. Probably won't be back.

Saturday hot dog special had $3-$4 off the dogs, but then you don't get the normally included fries... which are $3-$4. Go off ig. also burger patties look like they are the frozen ones from Costco. Chicken sandwich was good but left a little hungry. upcharge for tots makes this place a no go for any totoisseur.

Love it there. Super chill place. Definitely need to figure out how to fit more TVs behind the bar though. Thats literally my only complaint... and its logistic so its not their fault really.
