“Patio seating in late afternoon here is a major vibe. Pretty sure our server totally forgot we were out there a few times, but she was friendly and helpful nonetheless. Food was fantastic – just makes me sad to think how far away I am most days and cannot just pop in for a quick lunch. I had a delicious cheesesteak wrap (forget if it was steak or chicken) with a fresh fruit cup, while my girlfriend had a shrimp wrap with fries. We all tasted some of everything and it was 10/10.“

“Great atmosphere- all food we ordered was great, only one complaint- baked potato was shriveled up- looked to be nuked. Not not much potato in there when forking it. Other than that we really enjoyed ?“

“Staff are super nice. Buffalo wings are what I get every time and they are some of the best wings I’ve had personally. I don’t usually finish buffalo wings, but I always finish the wings here. The only complaint I could have is that since the wings are an appetizer they don’t have a lot of meat on them. So I’d either want more of them or more meat on them. But I’ll still come back for them.“

“Have eaten there numerous times. The food has always been great, and the people I have spoken with that were there when I was were nice. The interior needs some cleaning and paint. Seems to be in need of more help at times, but sometimes people operate on whatever they can do with at that time. All food items were very good, especially the meatloaf, fish and veggies. It is worth a visit! Also a return visit! That lady is a hard worker!“

“Great local spot with a straightforward menu. While they were out of some items, the available steaks 🥩—Sirloin, Filet, and Strips—were cooked to perfection (Medium-Rare) and tasted amazing. The menu is simple, so stick to the classics: Steak 🥩, Salad 🥗, Baked Potato 🥔, and Garlic Bread 🥖. No frills, just excellent food. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Me and my Brother was going to Buffalo W Wings and never got seated so I chose to go to Mug Shots and it was awesome. We meet our waitress Lana Robertson was the best at her job. It wasn't crowded at that time of night but she was friendly, kind, and courteous. She was great and because of her I'll be going back to Mug Shots . Thanks Lana for being an outstanding server hope to see you soon.“
