The restaurant offers a range of options, including mozzarella sticks and French dip, which is described as "Devine" with a perfectly melted cheese and over-the-top dipping juice. The James River Burger is also a popular choice, and the fries are consistently great. The service is excellent, with staff willing to go the extra mile, such as opening the door for wheelchair accessibility.
