“If you are in search of a place where there is a craft beer option for any type of beer drinker and non beer drinkers, is pet and kid friendly, ample space inside/outside to accommodate small to large groups and the staff is friendly and engaging, this is the place. My wife and I have been going here for a while and have never had a bad or lackluster experience. The staff behind the bar is what elevates this place: extremely friendly, engaging with all of the customers, offering recommendations and samples for those in search of that specific something, and making sure everything about your time here is a great experience. If you find yourself thirsty for a beer, or 6, a place to relax with your significant other, friend or coworkers, or just looking for something to snag quick to take home, make a stop here. 🍻🍻🍻

Please note: You can bring in your own food too! 👌👍“

“We came a few Saturdays ago and it was busy. We were told 25 min wait but it was an hour. Was a little frustrating but the service and food once seated made up for it. Our server was beyond great and I noticed the rest of the staff was so helpful and worked as a team, bussing tables and filling drinks. Our food was great and we felt the bill was very reasonable for two adults and two kids with 2 alcoholic drinks it was only about $100.Highly recommend!“

“The lady bartender said that the reason why it has a dancing tomato on the business sign is because the owner who started the business was nicknamed “Tomato” because he had red hair and freckles and a round face and resembled a Tomato. Very chill atmosphere, very casual and laid back“

“This place is a typical dive bar. Clean yet dark and dingey. Cheap booze! And not in quality. A jack and coke is $2.75 The staff and regulars are amazing. But don't believe google. The menu is a lie. No food is offered here. Except bags of chips or cracker packs.“

“The Best Wings hands down in the 716!!🔥🍗 👌“

“I have to say you should be embarrassed at what you're serving at the fair. It was horrible! I was truly disappointed. We had 4 different menu items and NOT one was enjoyable. Its a shame you price gouged and the quality was beyond poor.“

“Visited for the first time with my mom on 1/31/26. Friendly, hard working host sat us within 10 minutes. We ordered a drink at the bar and chatted with the bartender, he was fluent in the menu and preparations. Our server was equally informative, she was very busy, only wished we had a bit more attention but, it was a busy Saturday. We ordered the Meatloaf Tower and the Shrimp and Scallop dinners. Both were very good, served with warm bread, salad and side. Meatloaf was a bit dense but good, Shrimp and Scallops were cooked to perfection in a garlicky butter and the vegetables with that dish were outstanding.“

“I've never been inside of the this place. Only ordered at the window outside. They are only open Tuesday-Saturday. Really good authentic Spanish food. All food is made to order. You can call ahead if you don't have the time to wait for the food. You won't be disappointed.“

The bartender was also the cook for the day and she assured me it was fine and seated us in the back. The food was fantastic and she was very efficient and friendly. The kids loved it and it was one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in a long time“
