Pizza and homemade onion rings were the best. They had my favorite beer. The only little thing was, I know it was only 20 degrees outside our table was by the window it was cold. I guess it was my fault not asking to another table.

I ordered an Italian grinder with a memory of a great sandwich. This one is horrible. It is nothing more than loose meat in a crispy bun with mozzarella melted on top. Nothing like I remember! In fact, we brought 1/2 home and my husband ate off the mozzarella and threw the rest away. Good flavor, but if I want loose meat, I can make that at home. French fries were perfect.

It's hard to give service the rating I would like. When we first walked into a nearly empty restaurant with about 6 of us and said there would be a total of 10-20 people ..we were told that half of the half of the restaurant that had peopel sitting in it was full when it was only half full ...i pointed to the empty half of the restaurant and asked if we could be seated there? I was told they needed an EXACT number to sit us at all? I found that answer confusing because I knew that the person i was speaking with had zero experience in logistics and over half of their tables were empty.I askes if they could just seat us and then add tables if need be...it took a while for 5 front of restaurants employees to decide if we could be seated. The waitress we had was awesome got menus that weren't provided which should've been and made it clear if we weren't doing all one tab to make sure we communicate that. The rest of our group arrived ...the rest of our group after a funeral ...and they ordered and things seemed to go farely well. For the location and size of the place the menu could use more and better variety and had the ability to do so it also needs better management to be able to handle a variety of groups. Does this place have potential absolutely...that is contigent upon who is going to put in the effort to make an actual change.
