We went here around 10am-12pm and enjoyed bottomless mimosas while we ate brunch ordered egg benedict & country fried steak. Service was fast, food was good, large portions, cool vibes and lots of tvs for those who love sports. We will return.

This is my second time here for luch and I loved the calm and nice atmosphere I will definitely come back to check the dinner side of the restaurant. Totally recommended 👌

We are in the restaurant and they had live music outside, and that band absolutely kills! Paul was our server and did an amazing job. I had the beef dip sandwich, and it was so flavorful! My daughter had the New York strip medium rare, it was perfect and juicy! We can’t wait to come back and try more food!

Waitress did a fantastic job. Loved my streak and old fashion. Great atmosphere. Owner came over to our table and made sure we were well taken care of. It was our first time and we will come again for my birthday.

We love to try new places and this one didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, Stephanie was AMAZING! She was friendly and attentive. She did the work of three people and never skipped a beat. She greeted us, made our drinks and took our order and served our food and she did it all with a smile. I would say she is the back bone of this place.The food and drinks were phenomenal. Definitely worth the price we will definitely be back.

We had a party of 6 and had a reservation via Google. There was a groovy live blues band playing on the patio as we dined inside. Food and service were excellent. I had not been since pre covid and was worried it might not hold up to my expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. Excellent dinner!

Let me start with our server, Peter, who was incredibly excellent! We started with some appetizers: mozzarella cheese sticks and chicken tenders. I had salmon salad and other barbecue chicken sandwiches for entrees, and we had Hefe Leppard blonde ale, which was very nice! I had this with a slice of lemon and orange

Service was terrible. Ordered a pastrami on a French roll with Cole slaw. Order came out on toasted bread. Sent it back to be corrected. Was eating the coleslaw and found a plastic bread tie in the Cole slaw. Waitress offered me new coleslaw, but I refused. Packed up my pastrami and was on my merry way. Not very happy with this resturant.
