It was very crowded everywhere for Hall of Fame weekend and I wanted to grab an early dinner before the evening parade. I was happy that the restaurant could serve me in time.
The service was excellent. The fries and onion rings were soggy and inedible. Not worth the price, do not recommend.

Entree salad was not much bigger than a side salad and terribly overpriced. Find somewhere else.

My wife and I had lunch here the day after the baseball HOF induction ceremony. I had the angus beef sliders with onion rings and my wife had the pulled pork sliders with sweet potato fries. I also ordered a Modelo draft beer. The food was very good. The service was fine. The food prices were reasonable. The reason I am giving this restaurant a 2 rating instead of a 4 is due to the fact I was charged $14 for one draft beer. Modelo is the #1 selling beer in the USA, taking the title away from Bud light several years ago, after Bud Light’s advertising debacle. I expected a draft beer to be in the $6-8 range. When I received the bill, I looked it over closely thinking they must have charged me for 2 beers, but it was $14 for one draft beer. You can see a picture of my receipt attached.
“Bartender” kept inserting herself into conversations with patrons at the bar. No water. Had to ask for utensils. All while “bartender” fooled around with her girlfriends who were “servers” Waited way too long to pay the bill. They probably a generational thing, but, when I’m paying I do like there to be some semblance of professionalism.
Don’t waste your money , the service was fine enough but the food was worse than cafeteria food , cold fries and chicken strips straight from a box at Walmart . The taco salad wasn’t remotely worth the money and a mixed drink that was just awful like an inexperienced 19 year old poured it . Overpriced and a waste of time and calories , look around there is a lot better around

Waited at our table for 20 minutes for a waitress. I asked several of the staff to see if we could get a server. When she finally came out of the kitchen she went to a table of patrons who just got seated. We walked out and won't be back. This was at 2:30. I can't imagine how bad the service is at peak hours.

Do not waste your money at this place. Awful food, cold, slow, dry. We left with a bill of over $100 and had to go across the road to get a piece of pizza. $14 US for a draft beer. They don’t have a drink menu so you can’t see the prices before you order. We should have asked but never ever thought a cider would be $13 and a draft beer $14. A pathetic chicken wrap that was cold , wrap was hard and it was really just like a bottle of buffalo sauce was dumped on it. The beef dip dry shaved crumbles of meat scraps. Laughable. Prices are criminal for the quantity and quality of the food and when we asked to speak with a manager she was “too busy” to come out so an angry man came out instead who had no desire to listen to any feedback. Must have been the cook. Could have cared less, everything is great and apparently 700 happy customers served this week. Clearly doesn’t look at reviews. They don’t care and are quite happy to rip people off. Absolutely not recommended.

No wait, location all outdoor covered seating right on Main st. Fries were overcooked and not edible, replaced by staff. If you are looking for convenience, yes a good place to go. Plan on at least 20 dollars per meal

We went here with half of our baseball team families because the website said they could accommodate large groups. There was plenty of room for all of us to sit together and Taylor was FABULOUS! She was quick and efficient. Whenever someone needed something extra like a straw or condiment, she had it to us in less than 2 minutes and remembered which person needed what. It is a great place for large groups, they are prepared!

Don’t waste your money or your calories. The food was pathetic and expensive. We ordered a French dip that was bland. A Buffalo chicken wrap which was just hot sauce in a wrap. The onion rings were fried too long. Nothing was made with any quality. The beers were over priced, but at least they were cold. The only good thing about this place was the name. You should walk past it to a better restaurant. I wish we did.

$9 for a miller lite, be prepared to be price gouged..... 45 min wait for a reuban
Food is terrible. Extremely overpriced… draft beer for $14 per! It’s only redeeming quality is that it’s right on main st with outdoor seating but don’t do it!
$14 for a draft beer. Get over yourselves. We’re not inside a major league ballpark. You’re a dive bar with the benefit of a decent location.
This place is not very good at all. Much better places around for cheaper! I would not go back to this place
$23 for a small wrap with 4 onion rings . They nickel and dime you . Extra charge to use your credit card. 2 thumbs down for this place
