Good burgers and great place to meet friends for a live jam.

We only had drinks but want to go back for wings and onion rings. The rings looked so good but we had already eaten before arriving. Staff is really nice as well.

we recently had my Father-in-law's repast @ TSC and Kevin and his staff couldn't have been more accomodating. The food was delicious, everyone was very complimentary! I would recommend TSC for your next event.

Last night I decided to check out this old-school bar in West Orange, NJ. I heard about a Grateful Dead cover band was playing there. The place was packed when I got there. Mostly with folks looking to grab a drink and some Grub. The food smelled pretty good All greasy and delicious but I was feeling healthy so I passed.

I managed to snag a seat at a table next to the sound guy. A cool dude who was clearly in his element. He let me sit there and I spent the rest of the night immersed in the music. The band was incredible. They started off strong with "Might as well" and "Bird Song," and just kept on delivering. The keyboard player, the singer, everyone was on point. The second set was even better, with "Sugaree," "China Cat Sunflower," "I Know You Rider," "St. Stephen or "Eyes of the World." I stayed for the whole show, including the encore of "Jack Straw."

The only downside was the bartenders. I don't know what their deal was. But they just seemed off. It took forever to get a Guinness and when I finally did I tried to make some small talk about the cool tap, but they just gave me a blank stare. And then the worst part: This One Bartender Started spraying this chemical cleaner right as the sound guy was doing a killer harmonica solo on "Not Fade Away." It was like She Didn't even care about the Music. It was a Total Buzzkill.

Overall though, It was a Great night. The music was amazing. The atmosphere was cool. And I met some interesting people. A Unique Spot that clearly passes the Vibe Check.

Bartenders will make direct eye contact with you and your empty drink, and keep on walking. 20 minutes for a drink. The bartenders couldn't keep up and they sent the barback home. Terrible service. Would not
