Decided to go here with my family for dinner to celebrate my father’s birthday. We pull in the entrance and there’s no available parking spots. There were several cars lined up in front of us and we were trapped. There was nowhere to go. 10 minutes go by and there was still no movement. A guy a few cars in front of us, who looked like Dana White, went up to the front car and started shouting expletives. The women in the car directly in front of us looked like they were screaming. Cars behind us began beeping and going around us only to get stuck as well. Perhaps we can have someone monitor the parking lot on Saturday nights? It was an absolute mess and a disgrace. It finally cleared up after about 25 minutes. So we decided to go to MJ’s down the street. What a joke.

Owner is a rude person that openly screams at his employees in front of customers. Not a nice place. Food is sub par at most.

3 times in a row unable to get a parking space in the terribly managed lot, the time before we parked 1/4 mile away to get in and the food was barely average, seating was cramped and the place was absurdly loud. Will not try again and can not recommend.

Few people at the bar where we were going to sit but we decided for a table. Most tables were available. It was early. Service was good and prompt. Food was served in a reasonable time. Prime prime was good. Gorgonzola sauce with pasta was good. Overall a pleasant experience.

Short review:
Waited for server 10 minutes to come to our table;
End cut prime rib ordered WELL done- not even close;
Charged for drink not ordered;

Plus side- prime rib was very tasty.

All I have to say my family and I have been here several times and I mean several you can’t get a bad meal here. Everything we have ever had was so good. Live music on Saturday nights. Owner is always on site and staff always looks the same. To me that’s a good sign. But we do love it here. Looks like a local pub that serves quality really good food!! Large menu and specials

I recently dined at this establishment and was thoroughly impressed by both the food and the ambiance. I started with the onion soup, which was flavorful and well-balanced, followed by the prime rib, which was exceptional. For those who appreciate a well-prepared prime rib, this restaurant is a must-visit.

The atmosphere caters to an older, loyal clientele, creating a lively yet comfortable dining experience, especially on a busy Saturday night. Despite the crowd, the service remained impeccable. The bartenders, Michelle and Diana, were attentive and efficient, ensuring that all guests were well taken care of. Special mention to Diana, whose professionalism and friendliness stood out.

Overall, this restaurant offers a warm and inviting environment, excellent food, and top-notch service. I highly recommend it, especially for prime rib enthusiasts.
