Me and my mom went to eat here. It was nothing less than PERFECT. The food was delicious. Served hot and fast by a wonderful waiter. Very clean place as well. We definitely will be returning every chance we get.

10/10!! came in on 11/5/22 for a few drinks we sat at the bar and our waitress was absolutely amazing! Great food!! Would love to eat here again. The down side came when we tried to ask the waitress and the owner into leting us back in the kitchen to see how the chips were made it kept me up all night not knowing how they do it!! Cant wait to come back on our next scuba adventure!!

The chicken soup is AMAZING! I’ve not had any food here that I didn’t enjoy. This is a family owned restaurant, and they are the BEST. Friendly, reasonably priced entrees, great drinks, and atmosphere. Highly recommend.

I would say the lower than 4.8 Rating was from years ago (under old management) because this by far is the best restaurant in Metropolis ! Note that its $ not $$ when talking pricing of meals compared to other establishments in the immediate area.
