There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“

“Today I went to the Applebees in Clifton with a friend for dinner. We had the appetizer special and an entree. We were both pleased with the service of our server Miguel. He was thorough and attentive. He apologized for a brief wait to be served after we had been seated. He proceeded to check on us numerous times and followed up with us four times to make sure our drink glasses were filled. The food was very good for the price. Mozzarella sticks wings quesadillas and chips with spinach tasted very good. I can honestly say the food was hot and it all tasted fresh. As I proceeded to leave after paying my bill, online at the table kiosk, the manager asked if everything was good. I explained how happy I was with the service and made sure he knew I filled out an online survey in the store and was going to do this google review at home. He thanked me for choosing to have dinner at Applebees and appreciated the positive feedback of our server Miguel.“

“This is the dive bar that reminds you nobody does dive bars right anymore. I don't even drink and I go here for games just because the vibes are right. Also, the people complaining about the food are snobs. The food is good (especially the wings); it's a bar not a country club.“

“Just moved here from Hawai'i and I was so excited to live right next to this bar.

Ambience: An intimate space with a pool table, darts, and a great DJ playing the slaps! Great place to watch NFL games for sure!
Service: The female bartender was so nice and attentive. She even gave us free shots before we left, and I will absolutely be back because of that!
Drinks: We ordered a screwdiver and a whiskey sour, which were super strong but still drinkable. I also ordered kamikaze shots, which were very yummy!

We will definitely be back to this spot whenever we can, and I recommend you check it out too!“

“The pizza here is pretty good, but the service is average at best. There really isn't much of an atmosphere at all, though. So I'd recommend take out. They do have a 2 plain pie special for $25 including tax which is a good deal, but when I ordered it he wanted to charge me $36 because I didn't mention that I was calling for the special over the phone. He claims you have to say you want the special, which makes me wonder if he makes it different. This makes no sense to me. A plain pie is a plain pie.“
