“ Really great pub food. We had a burger that was delish with bacon cheese and red onion. At least a half pound. (half for lunch tomorrow!) Also a Philly Cheese Steak and Triple Ruebin. All excellent. A Thai Chili boneless wing appetizer was also great. Friendly people too. The owner, Dan, spent a lot of time with us telling us about his menu offerings, brunch menu and of course the Superbowl deals. He's very excited about his establishment. Their wing prices are incredible. Everyday just 14.00, 1.16 per wing net and they serve a dozen. Can't beat it and on Wednesdays just 50 cents a wing. Great local bar with back room dining, gas fireplace and lots of Tv's in bar area. ”
“ I have had several good experiences here, and the food was good. ”
“ Glad there is a parking lot here. It is a bit of a squeeze so be prepared. The bar is large and inviting. There are booths and tables to sit at in the adjacent room if the noise level at lunchtime is too much. I've enjoyed several lunches here near the fireplace. My first visit I enjoyed a hard cider on tap. The burger with blue cheese was what I ordered. What I got was the BBQ sauce one. I was hungry at this point. So, I cut it in half and discovered it was cooked to my liking. I ate the burger which was great along with the good fries. When the server checked on us I tolder her about the burger mix up. I told her it was ok. She apologized anyway. When she brought the check she'd taken the charge for the cider off. Thank you, I appreciated that! This time there was no hard cider on tap. I decided to have a plain iced tea with lemon, which was good. I came back to try the different appetizers they offer. Specifically the egg rolls. I was disappointed to have the server tell us they had no egg rolls. I did enjoy the appetizer platter and nachos for lunch with my companion. Hopefully the hard cider will be back on tap for me next time. Overall I've enjoyed the staff, atmosphere and food here each time. ”
“ Had a very nice dinner here with friends and family, the service was great, food was fast and their shrimp and spinach salad was delicious. Would definitely like to come back to this place again. Great job! ”
“ The food here is amazing! It’s delicious and reasonably priced, which is unheard of nowadays. Shelby is so welcoming and attentive. This is a great neighborhood place where everyone feels welcome, even as first timers. The interaction between staff and guests is so friendly, everyone belongs! As for the food: yummy! We had the Priviledges Plate as an appetizer, you choose the four appetizers: we chose pot stickers, pretzel, potato bombs eggs rolls. The pretzel was so soft and buttery. The potato bomb was by far the star of the plate! The egg roll had a nice little kick to it. For my meal I had the Iconic Crunchwrap which is huge. It was full of flavor and so delicious. The fries were among the best I’ve had - crispy and plentiful. My husband had the French dip, which he really enjoyed but couldn’t finish because it was so huge, served with the amazing fries. We will definitely be back. I would highly recommend reservations as this place fills quickly. You won’t leave hungry. ”
“ Pleasantly surprised. Seemed like a place people come for the drinks, not the food. Service was friendly, menu was creative, food was delicious, portion sizes were great. ”
“ Shelby & Dan provided an amazing dinner experience for our lacrosse team. Great hospitality and food was delicious!!! Shelby, Dan & Thomas went out of their way to make sure everything was great!! Thank you from Team Mn 2028’s ”
“ The food was great! Prices are fair and our waitress was excellent. It was kind of slow but there were a few tables and people sitting at the bar. We were in and out within an hour. I'd recommend trying their wings they were cooked perfectly! We also got a pulled pork sandwich and ruben which were also very good. More than enough for leftovers ”
