Always great good! This time we had 50 plus people. Because we were such a big group they let us use the side room to not over crowd bar!! Appetizers tray was a big hit. Pretzel with cheese is good! We did lots of appetizers!
November 2025
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.
October 2025
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.
