What a wonderful lunch we had dining at this amazing establishment.
Tim who seated us and greeted us was wonderful with his friendly and accommodating demeanor and we had a very sweet waitress named Hailee. She was very friendly and awesome.

Service awesome, atmosphere great, so much fun people watching outside. Food was ok. The NE clam chowder was delicious and loaded with clams. The chicken fingers and Italiano sandwich were just ok. Guess I was hoping for more from the reviews. Extra points for the great service and outside seats.

First the washrooms were horrible. I don’t want to sit in someone’s poop. Service was quick and not very approachable. Place for ambiance is a zero. We have eaten at other places like this but we would have thought with some others at the hotel saying it was good we would give it a chance. Bad decision. I ordered the chicken Tenders which if I tossed one at the window it probably would have gone through it. The fries, not bad but not hot. My wife ordered the beer battered fish. So much grease on it she had to take a napkin to dry it off. I hate to dump on a place but if it isn’t good, you have to worn others about it. Please staff. Clean your toilets. Health should still be urgently required.

My husband and I ate there yesterday for lunch and we each got the meatloaf. It was outstanding. Great taste and you get a lot of food. Love the wooden structure, it’s like eating in an old-fashioned saloon.
