Let's start with the service, it was great! Here's by the bartender(I think) when we first walked in then seated very quickly. It waitress was very sweet and attentive without crowding us. I ordered a brunch punch, it was decent. Fruity and not to strong, my wife had a belini which she enjoyed. There were some boarded up windows, not sure what happened, but I was not bothered by it.

We had a nice brunch here recently. The kids in our party enjoyed their chocolate chip pancakes. The breakfast enchiladas were a group favorite. The grilled cheese was great. The burger and fries were tasty and the salad was huge. The Joe's cheesy balls were a great appetizer. There is plenty of seating inside and on the patio. The service was a little slow but they were busy.
