First, our waitress was wonderful; she really was the only positive.We had to sit in the back, so apologies to the waitress who was trying to take a break and the other who was trying to do her homework. I hope your professor tests you on the material you were studying for on the homework instead of just what she tells you to study so you feel like you’re learning. Also, I hope the other waitress decides what kind of dog she is going to get. I agree with the cook, an Australian shepherd is probably not a good choice, as they are very active and can be destructive if they don’t get enough exercise.Why do I know all of this? Because we couldn’t help but hear all of the conversations from our seat. Everyone was loud, with no regard to the paying customers literally right beside them.Also, if the waitress wearing the green Jameson shirt and the younger cook with brown hair could quit swearing so loudly to everyone, I’m sure we would all appreciate it. Fortunately my ten year olds know how to behave so language doesn’t bother them, but we don’t go out to a restaurant to hear the f bomb in every other word from anyone, let alone those who are setting the atmosphere.Or do whatever you want. We won’t be returning.Side note, you use too much cumin on your chips to not offer them with a mayonnaise-based sauce.

We had the Beer Cheese Fondue and two burgers with fries for a late Saturday lunch. The dip was hot, but the bread that came with it was burnt. Not just toasted, black. The burgers came out at the same time. The seasoned fries were way overcooked.The place definitely has an aroma.Our waitress was fine.

I'm an HVAC engineer, and this place smells like a toilet the moment you walk in. The bathrooms are even worse. You need 3x bigger exhaust fans in your restrooms.

Nice neighborhood bar atmosphere, good drink selection. I could recommend they google highball glass my "highball" was in a stemmed glass looking a lot like a mimosas.

I can finally say in my 58 years I couldn't finish a burger because it was so bad! Odd texture and bacon over cooked. But the worst part they mixed pepper in the meat like it was a chocolate chip cookie. It was so strong it made me sick!! Look at the pics. I think the reviews are from family and friends.

Service was ok, and certainly not the problem. The food though.... Over seasoned and poorly executed. Sent back burger, chickens strips, and honestly started to feel weird sending back so much but wow can't pay for such bad food. Let's start with the burger. Over seasoned and under-cooked. When we told the server, she said "yeah, we have had a lot of people complain, I think the person who prepared it put too much seasoning". The chicken strips were burnt. We sent them back, and they came back burnt. So ??? What to do about that. We saw the bartender make three drinks before she got it right. Gave the poorly made drinks to a table of 8 for free. That's the bad, as for the good.... If you want a well-stocked bar and don't care about food, this wouldn't be a bad place. But for us, it was a complete miss. This is NOT a family-friendly atmosphere. We had such high hopes for it too. I really hope the management reads these because the location and atmosphere has great potential. On a scale of one to ten, this is a two (2).
