First time ordering from here. I was pleased with everything. From the young lady taking my order to picking up and being greeted as you walk in even though she was very busy she handled everything well and kept a smile on. The food was great and correct just as I ordered. The potatoes skins were perfect and a good size portion . Burger was delicious and bun toasted perfectly (I hate when you get a wet soggy bun) this was not ! Husband loved his pork said it had good flavor just could of used a little more rice . Kids quesdillas were soft and tasty my son loved the broccoli ate the whole container. We will definitely be back to try some other items out . I would recommend this place definitely

Nice little bar. Ordered the sample platter with two orders of southwest egg rolls, jalapeno poppers, and potato skins. My fave was the southwest egg rolls. They made a mistake in our order and brought out the Philly steak egg rolls initially, so I was able to taste that also, and it was decent. Lauren, our bartender was awesome!

Great food. Friendly service. Very clean restaurant and a good value too. Had a Monterey Chicken Sandwich - it was very good. Hot and delicious. Had an ice cold Big Nose IPA - mug was clean and cold too. Highly recommended as a great family restaurant and a great sports bar.

Delicious, pub food. Deep-fried goodness! Competitivly priced, great portions, although they've definitely increased their prices to go with the current market. New waitress was prompt, polite, professional and efficient. Food came very quickly. Pub atmosphere with multiple tvs showing various sports. Would highly recommend this restaurant for tasty pub food.

Great atmosphere! Quality food! This place has been in the area for sometime and has become that perfect hole in the wall fix you might be missing out on. Try their delicious wings or their taco bowl-like dish for a satisfying meal you won't forget!
