Fiance and i ordered a taco salad and paddy melt (respectively) and both agreed they were the best taco salad and paddy melt we’d ever eaten. The food was fresh, delicious, and cooked perfect. The portions were generous and included all the fixings. And the price was super reasonable given the quality and quantity.

The patio was a nice to have dinner. The main dinning had Bingo going a bit to loud and crowded. We will definitely go back as the food and service was really good.

Took my daughter to lunch. Food was good, service a little slow, but only one waitress, Dianna (sp), was working. However, she was both nice and efficient. Atmosphere was neighborhood-like and unassuming. I’ll certainly visit again.

Clean. Customer access to hand sanitizer. The draft was cold ( sipped my hubby’s). Ordered full dinners at 645pm on a Sunday. No soup, salad or bread. I was a tad surprised when I asked for a piece of bread as was told they did not have any. We usually only get takeaway here and those options are generally available. I had braised short ribs with mashed potatoes. My husband had a strip steak with a baked potato and green beans. We took home bread pudding for dessert. It was a large portion
