Customer Reviews

"For appetizers, we had the big pretzel, Calamari, and the twisted pickles all of which were great. I really enjoyed the pizza (meatza) and the buffalo chicken wrap. The ranch was great (had to bring it up for my ranch conesuiers ). My dad wasn't a huge fan of his fish n chips but I can't confirm if it's a "him" problem or not. "

Aaron was great, and the woman was great also. the rest of the band was great too!!!. the full slab of ribs was enough for 2 to 4 people.. I will be back. no reservations needed."

"I absolutely love this place. It's about 30 minutes from my home but it's always worth the trip. I usually go Wednesday nights when they have the open jam. There's always some excellent players in the house and it blows my mind that you can see this kind of music live with no cover charge or ticket. The staff are friendly, they make you feel like a regular in your neighborhood bar right away and keep your drinks full all night. I've had a few items on the menu and it's all been tasty. The general vibe is unpretentious and comfortable. Just a great joint all around."

"We stopped here for our first visit for brunch. We both enjoyed our choices - a breakfast burrito (which was quite packed) and eggs benedict. They don't have the mimosa bar as advertised on the outdoor sign, but the mimosa was fine and my friend enjoyed her custom made bloody mary. When at the bar we were given water in disposable cups, but those at a table were given water in non disposable cups, just a slight mental downgrade worth mentioning."

"Very clean and presentable. We visited Saturday night around 8:30pm. It was our first time at this establishment so we didn't really know what to expect. There wasn't a sign to say "seat yourself" so we kinda waited until a server popped out and asked us how many. When we sat down, She asked if we wanted anything to drink. I stared back down to realize there is no drink menu. I asked if there was one, which she replied no. As a place with a full bar, this would be a huge advantage for guests and employees. I didn't feel like playing a guessing game, so I just got a beer. The food was great, especially the fries. This place seems better suited for large groups. Clearly there were a few families there having a great time, It's just not ideal for date night."

"This is a great place to hang out, the patrons, that may or may not be regulars, were quick to chat and make you feel welcome. I enjoyed the overall general vibe and look inside of the place. With it's rustic wood interior it makes you feel like you're in the local rural or country pub, yet it's in the middle of the city. With all that said the real draw is the staff. At least the day staff from my experience. I met the sweetest and most attentive bartender or server, not sure what's appropriate, I think I've ever met. The server's name while I was there was Kris and she made me feel like a regular, although I was not, by making a great food recommendation, and a tasty drink as well. I will certainly be back every time I am in the area and the locals are lucky to have such a great place."

"Ordered the one of their burgers to go and I was not disappointed. It was a really good burger with fries."

The happy hour specials are fantastic; they offer great deals on both food and drinks. This is a perfect time to gather with friends and try several appetizers like the big pretzel or fried mushrooms. I recommend their famous buffalo chicken wrap, which is hearty and flavorful.

If you love live music, Wednesday nights are killer with open jam sessions. Listening to local talents and enjoying cocktails creates great memories. Don’t miss the weekend brunch—a tasty breakfast burrito or eggs benedict is a must-try. Plus, the patio is an excellent spot for dining when the sun shines.

Keep in mind, peak hours can get busy, especially on Mondays during dinner. However, visiting during off-peak hours reveals a calmer, friendly vibe, perfect for a more personal experience. Parking is ample and free, making visits stress-free.

Most Disliked things

Some guests mention that the drink menu could use improvement since it is harder to navigate. Disposable cups for water at the bar detract slightly from the experience compared to the traditional glassware served at tables.

Also, on busy nights, service can lag at times. A few diners experienced delays but maintained that staff worked hard to remedy any issues. This can dampen the experience, but the overall welcoming vibe often outweighs these minor complaints.
