We didn't have time to eat, but we decided to swing in and grab a couple of drinks and escape the heat for a bit. Izzy is an asset to this place and one of the coolest bartenders I've met in awhile. His drink selections were on point, and he was extremely personable. We'll be back to try the food next based on the excellent service we received yesterday!

Absolutely love their food! Have eaten here a bunch and I'm never disappointed! The owner and staff are great people, always a pleasure to order from!

I was visiting from Denver and needed some solid food—and wow, I’m so glad I found this place! I ended up eating here twice during my stay because it was that good.

The cheesesteak was delicious and hit the spot, but the real star for me? The onion rings. Easily in my top 3 ever—crispy, flavorful, and just perfect.

Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. Great food, great vibes—I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!

No wait for a table, but waited 45 minutes for our food, even though the restaurant was completely empty. BLT was okay, chicken Philly was overcooked/super dry and they forgot the side of fries. Super strange experience overall.

Food was amazing and Larissa was a fantastic server. We will be back very soon. Just moved to ILM a few months ago and this is the best burger and cheese steak we have found in town. Also recommend their homemade chips. Kudos!

I got the spicy chicken salad wrap. Trying to eat a little lighter these days. Most of the time a chicken wrap at a restaurant is a mediocre afterthought, but not here. It was delicious and actually decently spicy with Sriracha mayo and fresh jalapenos inside. The cheesesteak is great here but it's nice that the quality extends to the rest of the menu as well!

I was told to go here for a good cheesesteak sandwich so we decided to try it. First, the price are high when it doesn't include a side of fries or anything. As far as the cheesesteak goes, the best part was the bread. Nice and soft sub roll. Meat was dry and bland. I added bacon to mine and it was still bland. Bacon was stale. Absolutely no grease on a cheesesteak sandwich? That's just against cheesesteak religion.
"Large" brownie is the size of a normal size brownie. Smaller than what you'd get at Firehouse. Cheesecake slice was about half the size you'd get from anywhere else.
Very disappointing.

Bartender really knew the beer selection and suggested winners. Wings are above and beyond. Everything was amazing.

Small bar atmosphere with an amazing burger sandwiched in a glazed doughnut! Top notch cheese steaks as well.

In a great spot but little seating especially if you have a group. Waitress working on riverfest night was extremely rude. We waited a hour for our food which was wasn’t very good. It was edible but not worth the money. Especially when you pay $10 for a meal which turns out to be just the sandwich. No sides no drinks. You’re better off going to subway. The only positive thing is the gentlemen working the bar was very nice and helpful.

The atmosphere was sort of a neighborhood tavern, hole-in-the-wall. But the service was great, and the bartender was friendly and even gave us a list of other places he would recommend. The beer selection was expansive, but best of all, the burgers were exceptional. My wife doesn't usually eat burgers, but the "donut bun" special she found delightful.
