Honestly, this place was a disappointment. The food wasn’t good, and for the price, it definitely wasn’t worth it.
I ordered a burger and the cheese tasted like it had gone bad. The meat itself was also under-seasoned and just overall bland. I mentioned it to our server, and they said it sometimes happens because they store all the cheeses together, and if it’s too close to the blue cheese it can make it taste “off.” They did offer to remake it, but after that explanation, I wasn’t really comfortable ordering anything else.
My mom got the buffalo chicken mac and cheese. The chicken was okay, but the macaroni was watery and it barely had any cheese flavor. At that point we didn’t want to risk wasting more money, so we ended up splitting chicken tenders just to have something safe.
I also ordered a muffuletta to go for my dad. We specifically asked if it had the traditional pickled olive salad and were told yes, but it ended up just being basic giardiniera instead. That said, my dad did say the sandwich itself was decent.
On top of all that, the bathroom was honestly really gross, which just added to the overall bad experience. Overall, not a place I’d come back to.

Took off a star for atmosphere only because there was a major draft at our table.
If you go, I have two words for you, “Truffle Fries”… I’m literally obsessed.
• Great meat free options.
• Family friendly.
• Street parking.
• Service was friendly and attentive.
Definitely recommend

Beer is little overpriced @ avg $8+ but not baaad but ya know maybe a HAPPY HOUR might help?! Anyway, parking sucks bc ya gotta pay everywhere in the area, this isn’t on the bar but jus’sayin’

This location has very nice servers, they were definitely helpful the entire time. I ordered “nice legs” from the menu and the chicken had absolutely no seasoning. The margaritas were tasty although filled with ice. And I also tried the Texas Burger and I liked it but my friend loved it!!! The truffle fries were a no for me. Overall it was ok.

Terrible service, the server was like a zombie, never smiled, got our orders wrong, delivered items without speaking… my “90+” sauvignon blanc tasted like syrup, had to send it back. The drinks menu is unbelievably limited, considering it’s a bar. So I traded it for a Pepsi, which was flat and warm. No straw. I ordered the Cobb salad with no tomatoes. And yes, it came with chopped up tomatoes, almost impossible to fully extract from the salad. No offer to make it right. My friend couldn’t finish her burger because it was so underseasoned, not worth eating. Got the bill and they’d charged me for extra salad dressing even though they’d gotten my order wrong, and the entire meal had been an epic fail. Then… a mouse ran across the floor right in front of us (indoors) and we high-tailed it out of there.

The Texas burger was so good that I almost forgot to take the picture. My first visit, everything was awesome! Usually not a fan of pretzel buns, but this was the exception. Excellent beer and cider selection, beautiful location, and great service from sweet people. A new local favorite.

I ordered delivery. The first time I did so an item was missing. Assumed it was a fluke. Ordered today and it was late. My salad arrived with no dressing. I called the restaurant because the driver had just left hoping maybe it was in the car? It’s also only a mile from my home and I tipped a nice amount. They hung up in my face. Food was mid. Cold.

Just don’t. This place shouldn’t exist. Service was okay but food is borderline dangerous (will let you know about food poisoning in 2 hours). Everything is dirty… floors, condiment bottles, chairs, restroom… and we are there at opening. By “family friendly” they mean it’s got 4 walls and they serve mac and cheese. Not sure this place is human friendly.

We were sat quickly and all the staff was very kind to us! We enjoyed that while the staff was prompt and on top of everything, they didn’t hover over our table. The appetizer we got was SO incredible. We got the pretzel bites with cheese and I would go back simply for this. Amazing!! Of course I didn’t get a photo of them. But then I got a pulled pork sandwich and my sister got the Texas burger and holy moly, they were both incredible! Lovely atmosphere, great reasonably priced food, and friendly staff! We will definitely be back!

I went here a few days ago with some friends, and it was an amazing experience. The food was great, and the bartender was very friendly and helpful, which made the visit even better. It’s definitely a place I would love to go back to.
