“1st time eating here. It will not be my last. My server, Roxanne was great. Loved the atmosphere. I sat at a table in the bar area. I ordered the mussel appetizer, they were the best mussels. The mussels are cooked in a garlic white wine sauce with sautéed cherry tomatoes, served with toasted bread. For dinner I had 4 buttermilk battered butterflied jumbo shrimp. These shrimp were cooked to perfection! I also had 2 pieces of cod, along with creamiest cole slaw. The meal also came with a hush puppy, crunchy on the outside but soft and moist on the inside and a side of French fries. I live 1.5 hours away, but I will drive here for the delicious seafood. I can hardly wait to try their crab Rangoon sushi roll, seafood pasta dishes and pretzel with jalapeño cheese sauce. If you are in the area, or not, this place is a must try!Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, parking on street.“

“Great food! Just strange situation. The 9pm time google has listed is incorrect. Was told when I called in at 8pm that the kitchen is probably closed for a sesame chicken to-go order . The hostess came back and asked if that’s all it would be. I said yes, just that one entree with a side of spinach. Apparently the spinach tipped the scale bc I was told they couldn’t do my order ?“

“Enjoyed drinks, food good, . service mediocre. After dinner we were visiting with our friends. I'm assuming it was the manager, ( he didn't ID himself) he came to our table & said there was a party of 8 that was edgy & waiting to be seated. ( they do not take reservations). He asked us to move to another table, so they could seat the party of 8. Manager said he would like to give us a $10 gift card but never came back. It was really all about how he approached us. Quite rude & awkward for us. If you're going to comp a customer you should do it. A young man from the party of 8 came over & thanked us. He had more class & manners then the manager or who ever he was.Manager ruined our first experience there..“

Started with one of the specials, they were goat cheese stuffed mushroom caps in a velvety red sauce sprinkled with a crunchy nuts, absolutely delicious. My husband had the filet and it was cooked to perfection. The asparagus was charred and seasoned just right. Storm is a beyond EXCELLENT server and we can’t wait to come back! The stuffed avocado is great for vegetarians!“

“Excellent time, like every time. This place is a staple in restaurants I suggest. It's exactly how I remember as a kid, food wise that is... the atmosphere used to be more 50s nostalgia with juke boxes vending in each booth! Regarding the food, we all ordered your typical round of burgers and shared a side of Irish nachos, which are loaded cheese fries, topped with your choice we have bacon and green onion and smother it under ranch.I drink a cherry coke, that they put a cherry syrup in. Grandma got a green river, that reminds me of a lime ice popsicle in the plastic sleeve...“

“Ok, let's get the obvious out of the way ... It looks kinda like a Hole in the Wall; careful when entering the building because the DriveThru is Right by the Entrance. But, this small establishment hides some Really Nice People and Good Food (a wide variety of dishes and combinations). Not a lot of tables inside, but we've never had to wait. Great People and Great Food. The type of place I'm used to seeing in small towns as I would travel on my motorcycle. Give them a TRY.“

We came in about an hour before close, guy up front asked about our preferred seating(at the bar, table, or booth) & did not rush us at all while looking at the menu, or when I had questions. All the staff was incredibly kind, friendly, polite & attentive. So much so, I'm writing a review. Which I've never done for food service. I got the brisket Mac, & a the pretzel app. Whatever mustard sauce they gave us? Delicioussss. I wanted a tub to take home. The mac n cheese was a lil' watery, maybe juices from the brisket?? Idk. But it was still rlly good. Bottom line, i loveee this place. Adore the staff & their great service.“

If I'm ever back in the area I'm definitely stopping in again and I hope it's sometime soon.“

“Calamari was great, Filet was cooked perfectly and the mashed was out of this world. Great service as well. We were at a private event in the back room which was very nice. It really was quite lovely. I ate my leftovers the next day at work and they were asking what smells so great so I gave them a small bite of the filet and mash and they both closed their eyes and made a small happy sound. REALLY quality food!“
