Nice place, prices are on the higher side though. The lamb wrap was amazing though perfect balance of lamb and pickled onion, mint and dill and cheese to balance it out. Mixed drinks were okay too. Parking is difficult

Definitely our go to spot for drinks! The food is pretty good also! Plenty of outside seating and inside seating for those cool evenings or humid summer nights! My wife loves the rice bowls. My go to is the Standard burger! If you like Bourbon Slushes you have to try theirs! Parking can be difficult at times but definitely worth a visit!

A friend and I went here on a sunny weekday afternoon and sat outside. After about ten minutes she went inside and was told “someone will be out” another ten minutes and someone did come out to report that we needed to order at the bar. Ok. So we put in our order, paid and waited for our drinks before returning to our table outside.
The aesthetic is on point! I can see this being great fun with a group of framily on a weekend night. There are lots of games to play a varied and interesting drink menu and fun decor both indoors and outside.
We also liked the food selection. But we were informed my choice, Salmon Salad, was not available. No problem, I told her my second choice which was the same price. The food finally arrived, it was brought to us, with my original choice. We were informed that someone went to their “other location” to get the salmon. I appreciated the effort! My friend had asked for onion rings to go with her Goetta Chopped Cheese Sandwich and they were not there. She ate half her sandwich before they arrived piping hot. We both enjoyed the food and atmosphere. They had 1960’s music blasting which could have been turned down a few notches. At times we were shouting to each other over the music and traffic noise.
The lovely person who helped us was also the bartender, busing tables, and was the cashier. She was friendly, courteous and as efficient as possible given the erratic kitchen prep. I hope to check this place out again sometime when it’s busier on a weekend night in hopes there will be full staffing.
The other important thing to note is that they actually have a gravel parking lot behind the building; however neither my friend or I saw that. The pay lot is close by but very expensive. So I recommend driving around the block to find their lot.

Brunch was solid and they had a very unique menu! I got the Smoked Brisket Benedict which was on a bed of crispy taters! I’m certainly a fan and will be returning.

they do not have deviled eggs anymore they are not served here please do not ask. as I’ve seen some other reviews say that the food was OK well I will admit I did have the bacon cheeseburger and the food on a scale of one to 10 the burger was easily a 7 1/2 for sure and the french fries were definitely an absolutely must have the French fries. It is a self-serve atmosphere for the most part which is kinda odd and not something that I really wanted I really do like to be catered to but it is different and certainly nostalgic you must go at least wants to say that you have been there before. I do not drink any alcohol at all so this is not a place for folks on average to hang out that do not drink. I could see this being a drinking atmosphere later on in the evening which is what the guy attending the bar proceeded to tell me about. So if that’s your thing then I could see definitely hanging out here in the evening if you Drink as for a kid like atmosphere fear yes I guess so kids are certainly welcome and should enjoy themselves but my young teenagers quickly got bored after 20 minutes but younger kids I imagine would probably enjoy themselves for a little while longer. Overall different solid four stars possibly 4 1/2

We love this place. The vibe is great, the decor is cool, and the service is good whether you’re inside or outside. We have also been here for a few events and they always seem to add a lil
pizazz to things. Not the most extensive menu for food but you can definitely find something you’ll like.

We stumbled upon this restaurant after a visit to the zoo. We are staying in Kentucky for a week on vacation and have ventured into Ohio twice. This is the best meal we’ve had the entire trip. My wife loved her rice bowl with chicken. I tried it. It’s very good but also spicy. I had the Banh mi sandwich which was also good. The meat was a little tough to bite through but not terribly so. Still a good flavor and texture. The potato skins were just ok.
The staff was very helpful and friendly.
No complaints other than the parking situation is a bit tight but manageable.
Definitely go give it a try if you are in the neighborhood.

Don’t overlook The Standard for breakfast. Their breakfast menu isn’t huge, but all 5 in our party loved their selection. It was a wonderful and unexpected suprise, as we had just given up hope of getting in before dinner time at any of the rated breakfast places and were sadly headed to a chain restaurant. We happened to pass The Standard in route and made a bat turn. Glad we did. No idea why they weren’t slammed, but they greeted us at the door and ushered us in to their so cool converted garage and great dinning experience. There are wrenches hanging from chandeliers and the owner is on the wallpaper. Fun, whimsical vibe with all kinds of oversized games to enjoy. Glad the waits at the other places were too long. Plenty of photos included.
