My experience tonight was honestly very disappointing. The woman behind the bar had negative energy from the start and the service reflected that. She took our menus without asking if we wanted anything else, which felt rushed and dismissive.

We ordered cocktails and later noticed they had a drink with CBD and THC in it. When we tried to order one at the bar, she came to our table to tell us she couldn’t serve it to us because we had already had a cocktail. That seemed extremely odd, especially since there was no explanation of that policy beforehand.

I asked another bartender about it, and he said he would have ordered one for us and even agreed it was strange. That confirmed for me that the issue didn’t seem to be policy, but the way she handled the situation.

Based on the attitude and the inconsistent service we experienced, management seriously needs to address this. Staff representing a business should be welcoming and consistent, and unfortunately that was not the case tonight. If this is the level of service being provided, it’s something ownership should take seriously.

This place always serves up great food and a great environment. The patio is wonderful during the warm season and inside they have great booths for cozy feeling. Our server is attentive but not intrusive, making a great experience. I've had many dishes over our visits here but last time I had the brisket tacos and they hit the spot. Well seasoned, with a spicy, fresh slaw on top and a flavorful green salsa.

The hamburger was over cooked (they didn't ask how I wanted it cooked). The bun was burnt on the edges, giving it a burnt taste. Service was not good. Waiter didn't ask if I wanted anything to drink (my friend told them ahead that we were not drinking alcohol). There was a small glass of water on the table for me and I had to ask for re fills. We sat right by the bar!

They are a great local spot. Wonderful if you live in the area. Personally wouldn’t drive across town to come here, but if you happen to be close by and looking for a great spot, then this is it. The crowd is local in very friendly.

This is a great place for a casual dinner. Inside and outside seating with a large covered area. They offer brunch on weekends. We ordered a burger and a veggie burger and both were tasty. They are dog friendly outside. They have 20 beers on tap as well as a full bar.

The lunchtime waitress is absolutely stupendous. Really sincere, interested in making sure people get what they want, know what they're ordering and feel cared for.
Food is pub fare, but a couple clicks higher in quality and variety than your run of the mill pub.
I work a few blocks away and am a regular here for lunch. Never been disappointed. Fast, good food, pleasant vibes.
