We are in our fifties and were hopping around to several happy hours when we stopped here. Pretty cool vibe, but a little too dark for us, maybe that is the speakeasy atmosphere…Prices are a bit high for our taste. Our server Erycca was excellent, attentive to our needs but not bothersome. The Bavarian Pretzel Sticks were also excellent. The Redemption Old Fashioned was tasty, but the one large ice cube in the drink seemed to take up most of the glass. Nice place, just not our favorite.

Great meal!
Great Service!

Went for a lunch with a group and this place nailed it.
Appetizers of pork belly Korean style was just loved by all.
Main courses also all tasted great. I had shrimp tacos that had great flavor, and others had hot dogs that popped with yummyness!!!
Oh, the drinks also are great. The Jail bird was the top favorite, but the on tap sour also placed close to the top.

First time trying this place. When we first walked in, it was steady then stared to get packed. Mike, who was the only server at the time was amazing and charismatic. I couldn’t catch the food runner name (in which it seems to be the manager that had to stepped in due to short staff), she was professional, attentive and pleasant. The owner who was hosting was very professional. Definitely will come back.

The food here is amazing. They are known for their smashburgers, which were great, but their other dishes were also incredible. I had the Dream Wiener. I was pleasantly surprised at the deliciousness of the combination of the homemade sauerkraut with the juicy beef hot dog. The service was very friendly. My only issue was that they never communicated that there was a special discount on smashburgers on the day we ate here, and we were charged full price. My recommendation is simple. Communicate upfront if you are running a special.

Everything about this place is five stars. My husband and I happened to fall upon it and what a find! Intimate and cozy yet welcoming and casual. Our bartender James was patient as my husband inquired about multiple bourbons! The pork belly appetizer was fantastic as were our smash burgers. Can’t wait to return with Friends!

The star of the show was the Sticky Bourbon Pork Belly starter (great recommendation from James, pictured). AMAZING. “The Bugsy“ smash burger was no slouch, though and I also highly recommend it. Everything was very good.

Both James and Sarah provided excellent service.

I rated the cost per person based on my girlfriend and I splitting the smash burger with fries.

The Coastal Coffee (pictured) was a very good cocktail. We each got two.

The atmosphere was very speak easy/Harlem Renaissance vibe with smooth jazz over the sound system.

The only complaint I have is with the water… tasted very strange… very “tap…” hard to explain.

This was our first stop to our Christmas vacation. We absolutely loved the atmosphere due to it being speakeasy like. The bartender was extremely knowledgeable! Our appetizers were delicious as well!

Excellent experience. Even from the outside, you can tell this is a unique dining experience. We went as a table for 2 for dinner service, promptly greeted at the hostess stand, seated and given the specials menu and the dinner menu. We decided on a pretzel stick which was served with 3 long sticks lightly salted and 2 dipping cheese sauce varieties. We opted for a smash burger which was good but we did decide to remove the jalapeno slices on the inside top of the burger as well as the random seeds that had slipped onto the inside of the sauced burger. It was a non drinking kinda night so we got 2 Dr peppers as they served coke products and the waiter refilled us twice upon our request. The burger was slightly undercooked for my liking of a ground beef patty but I ended up getting full anyway and boxed up my leftovers which will heat just fine in the microwave for lunch the next day and cook more to my liking. Everything was very good, we asked for the check and change and both were promptly delivered. Everyone was pleasant, happy and smiling. Seems like a great place to dine and work. Will return!

Incredible everything! Understated, well appointed, extremely welcoming. Sense of humility when they could possess as much arrogance as any restaurant we’ve ever been to. Thankfully, they do not 🙂 I would like to meet the chef. As a former Winery owner and winemaker, The simple “ Bugsy” Smashburger is phenomenal. It’s like a glass of wine that meets your nose with its aromatics before you bite it and then once you bite into it, the texture and juiciness and flavors will blow you away. You will be hard pressed to eat the whole thing, but you will absolutely love it. There is no condiment even ketchup that you would ever think about putting on this great sandwich. And don’t forget to enjoy the homemade potato chips made flawlessly with pure and clean oil, A perfect textural complement to this incredible sandwich . Highly recommend this restaurant!!!

Hopefully their new name gains wider recognition. They captured a unique setting unlike other spots in town. The food and drinks are always excellent. We stop in while charging our vehicle nearby.
