Man. I liked this place until last night. I've had their food In the past and was always good so I disregarded the menu not having the price listed figuring it would be fair. Anyway I ordered the belly buster sandwich. Came on a reg sandwich roll and had 1$ up harness for fries. Smh I will not order that again or prob be back. The sandwich was great dont get me wrong but 23$ for a sandwich and fries? Thats outrageous. Like I said the food is great but at that price? Plus this wasnt a delivery i picked it up. Smh

We have been repeat customers, which makes this experience especially concerning. The calamari was poorly prepared—rubbery and unpleasant. The chicken in the club wrap was excessively overcooked and heavily salted to the point it resembled jerky. More troubling than the food was the service and what it revealed about how this restaurant operates. When I requested a side substitution—an item that is ON the menu & I have ordered here many times before and am happy to pay extra for—the waitress attempted to refuse. Her explanation was that the cook “gets mad” when customers ask for different sides. That statement alone reflects a serious internal issue and should never be communicated to a guest. When I calmly questioned why a previously approved modification was suddenly a problem, the situation escalated unnecessarily. She wanted to take my name and number “so the owner could call me and explain why they wouldn’t be accommodating this again in the future”, in a way that felt was intended to intimidate rather than resolve anything. This interaction suggests a breakdown in training, communication, and leadership. Customers should not be placed in the position of navigating staff temperament or internal conflicts simply to order a meal. Between the decline in food quality and the unprofessional handling of a routine request, this restaurant has lost us completely. We were loyal patrons. We will not be returning—and we would not recommend this establishment to others expecting competent service and basic hospitality.
A bad meal at my home is always better than what this restaurant served us! I anticipated a good meal after reading the reviews but should have known that TRINITY, our server, may have lied when I asked her if the specials’ Fried haddock was fresh, hand breaded? I mean for $20? It’s not nice to lie, trinity!😖 I really wanted a burger but she shared that they no longer serve fresh cut fries and so, I pivoted to an entree. Ok, Saturday @ 4 pm: my husband ordered the SPECIALS Butter Steak, Brussels sprouts and baked potato. The contents were all brown, he couldn’t even distinguish between the glob of (grey meat) steak and the Brussels which were accompanied by a left over, barely warm, starched baked potato!!!!! 🙈 See photos. Disgusting, he cut into his steak and it was recooked as evident by the GREY middle meat. $22.49 And to pay an up charge for the lobster bisque soup that starts in a poly bag and is standard issue throughout restaurants from the purveyor. Ever notice the soup looks the same at most restaurants. Sad but true! My haddock was deep fried, out of a frozen food box as both ends were super hard and inside fish was hardly haddock. More like whiting or pollock. When a person pays for food, it should be exceptional. 🧐 But the kitchen staff can serve up surprises that only the cook and server know what’s going out on these dishes. 🤷♀️ OAD (OnceAndDone) BTW: I’ve been to the SLATE BELT BREWERY in downtown Bangor, PA 4X since I wrote this review. 1000% better. 👏🏻🔥🍁

I had a California burger with fries. The burger was very big and delicious. The fries had good seasoning on them and were very crispy. My partner had a chicken club wrap with Cole slaw, he said they were both very good. We can't wait to go back and try many other things off the menu. I got a slice of apple peach cobbler to go, very good!
