Walked in and waited - wasn’t too long. Came here for my husband’s birthday. It was very busy (Saturday evening) food was delicious - I was pleasantly surprised! We ordered several different meatballs and the buffalo appetizer was happy hour priced! Drinks were delicious, too! Great experience. Will definitely return!

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu- daughter loved the food!

The food taste/quality was good however the portion size for what you are paying is not at all what it should be. I’ve been to plenty of other places that gave me double the portion for the exact price I paid here (I got a pasta bowl and so did my boyfriend). Also both of our meals were cold on the top by the time they brought it to us. Overall, don’t recommend coming here if you care about getting the most bang for your buck.

The service was top notch. We didn’t like the chicken meatballs because the parm cheese was so strong. That was our opinion so others may enjoy them. Crack fries as an appetizer were very good. Great beer selection and we had a good time
