“Ate there last night. Service was good. Manager Julie super friendly and welcoming. 3 of us had fish fries, 2 battered, 1 breaded. Large portions but a bit overcooked. Coleslaw portion small though. Broccoli with garlic butter had a topping that was a bit salty until I mixed it up. Delicious. Super attentive waitress. Never had to ask for a refill of ice tea she'd bring it upon noticing it was getting low. Wedge salad ginormous!! Almost entire head of lettuce!! Friendly staff and good service. Definitely going back for a 2nd try on the fish.“

“Popped in here for the first time last night to watch some world cup games. Owner was a super great guy and easy to strike up a conversation with. Atmosphere was chill and drinks were well priced.

Kitchen was closed so can't speak on the food, but overall I had a really great time here! (Helps that my team won too lol) Hoping to catch more games here in the future!“

“I went here last night around 8pm just before the crowd rush. Ordered a simple vodka and Sprite with mozzerella cheese sticks, which were actually bigger than I thought and freshly hot, super delicious. Bar tenders was very nice and attentive, I appreciate their good customer service 👍🏾

Only thing about the atmosphere was the amount of pre-gamed drunk women being extra loud, to the point that nobody could have a conversation nor hear the music. Like, absolutely doing the most extra behavior. I had ear buds in and I still could here them yelling. Its not the bar's fault or anything, I just wish the bartenders had kicked them out cuz even they were getting frustrated but that's just me and I understand a paying customer is a paying customer lol

Otherwise, its a good local bar and I plan on coming back again. Gotta support local businesses and this place is worth going again.“

“Disgusting place and so are the people who run it. Stayed open until 3am back in December and overserved a patron who fell, hit his head INSIDE the place, and ended up dying later because of it. The people working lied to the police and said he fell out in the parking lot and they dragged him inside when that wasn't true. All to try and protect this hole in the wall. The workers concocted a story to protect the bar. they claimed they found him outside, to try to not have to admit that the bar was open until 3 a.m. Actions were taken by the workers to make their story look believable. They placed the jacket on the victim, who was unconscious. They dragged the victim by the door to make it look like they brought him in from inside, and then they mopped up the drag marks from where they had dragged him from. I cannot wait till this disgusting place closes down forever, and I hope every one of you involved goes down HARD and I hope ya'll get sued into the ground.“

“We had our high school reunion here over the weekend, and everything was fantastic! The food came out right on time, the staff was incredibly friendly, and Chris was extremely helpful throughout the planning process and on the day of the event.

The staff also did a great job keeping everything running smoothly by clearing tables quickly, and the bar line stayed short all night. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend them for any event!“

“Now, this was my first visit to Folgers East End. I will say the drink I had was good and affordable. However, I didn’t like that the day I went there was no food available at all. I like the venue was easy for all my friends to gather together and catch up. I would like to see them bring back the food at a later hour because I would have order from you instead of leaving to order from somewhere else. They did have quite the selection for drinks and I could taste it first before buying it. Overall, I’d like to see them do more with this Venue and we had a good time!“
