Average- food is bland but expensive for what I ordered- $70 for 2 beers, soft drink, pancakes, sandwich and banana pudding- I did like the banana pudding-, service is bland- on their phones at the counter, bartender difficult to find-, atmosphere is bland- It’s order at counter or sit at the bar which is a weird dark area in the middle of the restaurant. Parking is bad. I felt I needed to give my review because I do not understand the high scores. Maybe if you love the soccer?

Food here is always great. My friends and coworkers often come here after work to have some beers and some food.
The burgers here are great. I’ve had them multiple times.
The outdoor seating is kind of limited - but plenty of indoor seating.

Really nice place to hang out for a while. Food is quite tasty and they have a huge selection of drinks. Overall one of my favorite places to go in the area. It can get PACKED when there is a big football game on, so heads up.
