We went in and was a little unsure about the place.It took a while for our server to come by. Once service started, it was smoother sailing from there.

The food here was delicious. I highly recommend the ham and cheese sandwhich. They were severely understaffed, but the one waitress on duty was able to serve every single table in a timely manner. It was absolutely incredible!! Props to her!! Give her a raise!Wheelchair accessibility: Very hard to get a wheelchair in, but its doable.

Great food! Large portions, I definitely over ordered not knowing how much food would be served, but it made for delicious leftovers the next day. Burgers are delicious and wraps are tasty too! Live music gave this place a nice warm feel. I would return.

Excellent corned beef & cabbage St. Patrick's Day special. Cool Irish tunes playing in the restaurant. Food and drink came out super fast. Friendly servers and staff.

The sign said to seat ourselves. Sat down, waited 10 minutes with no acknowledgement of our existence. Decided to go somewhere that might actually serve us.

So I went here with my family on Sunday afternoon. We ordered some appetizers and they were good. Then after about and hour and fifteen minutes after ordering our meals, which were ordered right after the appetizers arrived,we had the server come up to our table and tell us that our order didn't get through due to there ticket machine in the back not working. We were told it would be 10 minutes longer no biggie right? So 15 minutes go by and we stop her to ask if our food was almost done and she proceeded to tell us. Like had I said the ticket machine was down. We ended up leaving after we started to see people who arrived 30 minutes after us start getting there food.

I would return for a beer, but the problem is there are a dozen places for beer on the way.The food wasn't anything to write home about. The regular smash burger was dry, which is a shame. The pickles could be better. They faintly have a vinegar hit, heavy dill, and too sweet. Almost like a bread and butter pickle, which in my opinion has no business on a burger. You want that hit off acid if you aren't putting a sauce on there to compensate. Dry, dry, dry.The smash burger done the French onion way was ok. They probably make a good French onion soup based on the flavor.I love seeing who has good gooey cheese curds and these aren't them. They were bland and just warm. I didn't get that fresh from the fryer feeling.

Stopped by for a classic lunch. Traditional cheeseburger and fries. Had some cheese sauce on the side for the fries which have a hint of pepper. Very yummy. Washed it down with a High Life. Doesn't get any better. Love the space. Service was excellent and friendly. We need to support local businesses like this. Give it a try.

I love all the food on the menu here. Don't forget to ask about the specials. They change regularly and it's always impressive. The service is great, the staff is friendly and attentive. Music is great and the other customers are friendly.

The menu has a great variety of dishes, and the flavors were spot-on. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic dining experience. Their Pizza is out of this world! Can't wait to go back!

Friendly staff, neighborhood vibe, great food. The Mac and cheese and sandwiches are good, pork "wings" are right up my alley. Will be here frequently!

Went on a Saturday night, first time at this new location. Wife had the regular Scratch Burger which she said was very good. Fries were extra at $2.75 with Garlic Powder. I had the Special Prime Rib French Dip. The beef was well done but proved to be very tender with a nice Au Jus, the Horseradish could have used more Horseradish. The $18 price did not include any sides. My issue has to do with the drinks. I always drink Vodka on the Rocks. I ordered a Tito's and it was a particularly small pour I would guess a level 1-1/2 ounce shot for $10.00. The Topper was that I was also charged $2.00 for one Plain green olive! I will not be returning as there are several much better options in the area.
