Food was overpriced !!!! small portion for a salad at $14 —$3.50 for a draft beer And the place was just a dive, not clean at all cater to a more younger environment will never go again !gave the balance of my gift card away

Stopped in on Tuesday for Wing Night. $6 for a dozen wings that were unbelievable!!! Great atmosphere and the patrons were very friendly. But the gem of the night was the bartender Erin. She was so responsive to EVERYONE’S needs. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard. I really liked her singing along to the tunes we were playing. Plus Happy Hour was from 5-7. Can’t wait to go back.

i’m sitting here at 279 and felt compelled to leave a review. the way they have football set up on every TV around the bar is absolutely perfect. you can see every single game on at the same time on TV’s around the entire set up. the owners are always here, and they are always polite and welcoming. an awesome place to come see your team play every week.

Always the best service! Not anymore....
Edit....
New Owners....and i have to say...terrible service, waited 20 minutes for the waitress/ bartender to take our drink order and give us menus AFTER sitting at a dirty table for 15 minutes waiting while there was only ONE patron at the bar and ONE table in the dining area..... if you want warm salads and cold entrees....have a go !!

Absolutely love this place. Don't know why it took me so long to write a review; I've been here like 10 times already. My favorite secret spot. I talk about this place all the time.

We're there with a group of 7. The reserved sign was on our nicely set table. Bar had a dozen people, tables nearl empty. 25 minutes before anyone showed up with a menu, 35 minutes before taking drink order.
Food was cold, incomplete, and billed incorrectly.
Nice place for drinks maybe, but that's all.

Don't usually do reviews but it was so bad I don't want anyone to waste their money. Waited 20 minutes (we had reservations) for a waitress to take our drink order. Waited another 15 minutes to have 7 draft beers brought to the table. Waited again (beers were gone) for the waitress to pass by our table so we could get her attention and ask for our check to pay and leave. She assured us things would get better and took our food order. Five of us received our order in 30 minutes. Everyone's fries were cold and all who ordered lobster tail needed to ask for and wait another 15 minutes to get butter for the lobster. The other 2 people waited another 15 minutes for their meal. Their french fries were at least warm but the crab dinner had only 1 cake (waitress said the other cake cake would be coming shortly) . The advertised sauce never came because (as the waitress said) the cooks had no idea what sauce they menu was talking about. Never got the crab cake, spent $70 dollars and left.
Tammy is the best bartender. She has to work a lone on busy nights. She treats all the customers with respect and equally as well.
