It’s a shame that some of the bar patrons are racist jerks. Great waitress, good food.

Came here on a Sunday early afternoon for lunch. One of us ordered the fried fish with a side salad, which she had to pay extra for. The regular sides are fries, potato chips and pasta salad. The fish did not look good to me and I was glad I did not order it. It was very "crunchy" and it seemed hard to cut into. She ordered a side of fries, and they came out WAY over done. The side salad looked ok. I got the burger with fries. The fries were very good,but the burger was just ok. I would not get again...was overpriced and just blah. It came with pineapple on it which I can not eat and cheese which I took off, but even with those two things added, it just did not compare to other burgers that are better for less money. The service was good, only one young lady for the whole place, but she did a great job. It was fairly quiet for the first 2 hours we were there, but it got louder and louder and it was almost impossible to have a conversation by the time we left. The place was clean as far as I could see but there was not much of a decor to speak of. Plenty of parking as it is in a strip mall.

The mozzarella stick were the best mozzarella sticks I’ve had in years. They were quite delicious. My burger may have been the most average burger I’ve ever had. While the bun was well made and you could tell they put care into it. The meat patty the star of the show was slightly over cooked giving it a slightly burnt taste. Regardless after I removed the charred pieces of the bottom it was also tasty. I do not believe that was the best burger they could have provided and in fact think that most of the time they will do better so I’d have to say the food for a tavern was pretty good. The atmosphere was great and the server there was friendly and helpful.

We came here to see a particular band, but didn't want to just do that so ordered an appetizer.We shared some sliders that were really tasty and each got the caramel cake, which was excellent.Our waitress was wonderful. Friendly and kept tabs on us the whole time. Oh, the band, The Mixtapes were fantastic!! Highly recommend them too!!

The daytime bartender is horrible. I mean, if I was a guy then maybe I would think different, but she's an old washed up hag. I was there and immediately said I planned to be there awhile as I had friends meeting me. She literally ignored me and rolled her eyes when asked for something. The owner was super nice and even offered to buy me a drink, but the damage was already done. Having been in this industry as long as I have I can honestly say if you're mean you should be really good at your job. But this lady was not even that. I asked a couple questions about the menu and she was dumbfounded. You can't be mean and dumb in this industry. The food was good and loved the small, local vibe but she ruined it totally. I won't be back, unfortunately.

White female bartender has a huge attitude problem and is simply rude and unkept looking. This isn’t New York City, it’s a small country town with and lord forbid you get something whose smiles, looks like they shower, and is polite. Her presence alone is enough for me never to be back and tell anyone I know to stay away. Horrible.

I go every Sunday, and occasionally Fridays, for karaoke, always so much fun. And the food is great,from your typical bar foods, like burgers and wings, to their salads, my fave being the Mediterranean salad with grilled chicken and the homemade herb vinaigrette. Great place for food and fun!

Very good burgers and exceptional fries. They have inexplicably discontinued what once were also outstanding onion rings. The service is generally friendly although sometimes distracted. It's basically a good, small neighborhood dive. Live music livens the place up, but the space is so small that the bands that play there often loud enough to prevent conversation.

Open blues jam on Monday night was perfect. I loved it.!! You need to come and check it out on Mondays.!
