Pleasant surprise. Cozy bar with plenty of history and an incredible drink selection. Juicy Lucy burger was awesome. It stayed HOT until the last bite. A friendly local place!

Great casual, relaxed atmosphere to grab a burger & you must try their home fries! I also recommend the chicken salad or philly cheese steak on their huge croissants. So good! I greatly enjoyed the outdoor seating area too.

Lovely place where locals go get food and drinks during the day and a super fun bar at night!! Great place to meet people. The owner shannon and security guy (both work the bar at times) are phenomenal!

I’ve ate at this restaurant many times for lunch and have never had a bad experience. The food always comes out hot and fast and has fantastic flavor. It has daily lunch specials plus a full menu to appease a diverse palate. The bar is fully stocked and the staff are very helpful and courteous. I’ve never been here after work hours but if it’s anything like it is at lunch time, you won’t be disappointed.

This place was great! The food is locally sourced and fresh, and was delicious.The owner shared knowledge about the history of the building, and there’s an outside patio that is fun for kids. The chicken fingers were the best we’ve had in a long time! Also recommend the Brussels sprouts and the rice with mushroom gravy. And the fries are awesome too. Really all the food was amazing. Highly recommend!
