Our 1st visit – We were greeted and seated immediately. Our server, Tina, was friendly and attentive. We ordered appetizers and several different dishes. Everything was delicious! Warm atmosphere, too!

The Pan Roasted Chicken with fresh potatoes and mushrooms was off the charts!
A half chicken pan roasted to a golden brown, with a crispy skin that was seasoned delicately, had a juicy breast, and a richly flavored, but mild thigh and drumette was beyond our expectations. It was an easy meal to share with my picky 6 year old (who devoured every morsel she was given )
We followed the dinner with a Nutella Bread Pudding that hit all the taste buds in the right way. A stout piece that the two of us easily satiated our pallet with. A wonderful crust on top that was hot, moist, and deliciously served with a small scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
We returned a week later with our big family of 6 just to find that the level of detail and quality had not changed one iota. The table was served at the same time with Smash Burgers for the teens, a Salmon BLT, Pan Roasted Chicken and the Salmon dinner. Timing in the kitchen would have to be critical for that diverse of an order and Chef Andy, and his crew, nailed it perfectly!
We will be coming here on a regular basis!

Trying to find places that I haven’t been to, locally. We were there early afternoon. We were immediately greeted,l. We asked if we could sit at the bar, yes we can. They were still on their lunch menu. I had the smash burger and my wife had the pulled chicken. Both were very good. The fries are cooked in beef tallow and have excellent flavor. The only small issue was, beer was a little on the warm side. However, they do have Yuengling. I’ll be back for the dinner menu and try the steak.

My wife really liked it. My fettuccini was overdone and mushy. Chicken was very good, however. I hope they get draught beers in the future. The funnel cake fries were very good. Prices were very reasonable.

Burger:bun ratio is off. Not enough burger, and way too much bread. Food isn’t terrible, though, and it’s probably better for you than McDonald’s and is about the same price as McDonald’s.
They have some thirteen year old looking host that accidentally hit me with a towel they were twirling around and playing with. They apologized then continued to twirl it around. My first water cup also came sticky…I had the waitress – who wasn’t very attentive, btw – get me a new one.
Would I go back? Eh. Unlikely.

Great little place, casual yet elegant; especially if you’re a veteran or know one! Our waitress and busboy were both very nice and the service was prompt. My husband said his burger was very good. I had the salmon and it was also good.

First time I came here sucked, but I gave it another chance and was pleasantly surprised by the service. I’m glad me and my husband were able to have a good experience. The server we had was wonderful. Her name is Tina and everyone should follow her example of being lovely and kind. Food was delicious. We will definitely keep coming here for our date nights!!
