This place was surprisingly great! Service was good and had dog friendly seating outside. It was not busy and we were able to grab a table outside as soon as we arrived. Large portions that was exactly what I needed.

Overall Score: 1.1/10 – A tavern with a decent atmosphere and varied menu options, but the high prices for basic quality make it hard to recommend.

Atmosphere and Service: 5.2/10 – The layout offers a split between a bar-style dining area and a quieter, less sporty section, which is a nice touch. The servers were polite and friendly but didn’t go beyond basic service. The atmosphere overall was fine but didn’t leave a lasting impression.

Menu and Pricing: 1.1/10 – The menu has a good selection, but the prices are disproportionately high for the quality offered. A basic bacon cheeseburger with onion rings costs $21, and an additional $0.50 charge for barbecue sauce feels excessive. While the food itself was decent, the price does not match the experience, making it difficult to justify a return visit.

Wife was getting her nails done up the street, looking for something different than fast food for a quick bite. Was looking online and the pictures and price seemed legit. I have to admit this was my own fault for the menu I looked at being 2 years old but I ordered a sandwich that was 13 bucks which came with fries and a side of chips 4 bucks because I couldn't decide on their chips or fries. I was thinking 16 to 20 bucks. Guy rang me up and brought me my bill. 27 and change. I was shocked. I looked at their website not the pictured menu and yes a 2 year increase from 13 to 16.99 and 4 to 8 bucks for a side. Great sandwich, small portion though, great chips kinda like a ribbon fry yet not worth 28 dollars for lunch.

The food is consistently very good. Great burgers, especially. Excellent hand cut fries and chips. Neighborhood pub feel.

Conventional bar/pub food scene where they make food in house. I got the fish sandwich and fries. Tasted pretty solid. The fish could have been seasoned more but not anything you can’t fix with salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Fries were better than expected and I think they actually do cut fries in house. My tea didn’t taste fresh but I understand. The bar drinks and beer gets more attention than non-alcoholic beverages at a place like this. I’d try it again because I like pub food all in all. I might have to get a different beverage though.

The price does not stop going up! We used to go all the time for the lunch special. Now the cost of a burger with fries and water to drink cost me $17.69 without a tip.

Good food and beer menu choices but limited by employees lack of service and knowledge. We had to ask for more alcoholic drinks, got 1 tiny paper napkin per person only after asking. Food was decent tasting and ok portions but nothing special.

I had a hamburger/fries. The burger appeared to be one of those you buy frozen from Sam's Club. The fries were good. However, I think $20 or more with tip is a bit much for a burger.

The food and drinks are really good, especially love to get the Shrimp Po Boys. It is hard to find a good one this side of the Mississippi Gulf Coast and this one is good. Also offering Buffalo version of the Po Boy. Have had some issues with service at times. You have to wait for attention and drinks frequently ran out while waiting. But the food is good and the atmosphere is good pub/sports bar with more than 2 TVs.

I stopped in for lunch last weekend and when I walked in the place was empty, I stood at the door waiting to be acknowledged while two girls chatting ignored me. Eventually, I said, do I sit anywhere, and once said yes. A couple minutes go by they continue to ignore me. I get up and retrieve my own menu that was sitting at another table. I quickly figured out what I wanted, I put the menu down and looked at them. They still ignored me. Two people walk in I guess they’ve been there before they knew to just sit down. They immediately stop chatting to go help them while I am still sitting there, waiting to get acknowledged in an empty restaurant. After they helped them, they still ignored me! I walked out. Now I’ve been places where service isn’t always the greatest, but I have never been ignored and basically refused service like that. Let’s just say that was my first and last time!
