I’m not sure what the record for the number of chicken sandwiches consumed by one individual in a single setting is but I am very confident I could break it. This is a magical place with wonderful staff, food, and drinks.

A 2 hour wait for a table for two made us opt for sitting at the bar. Limited menu for dinner. Was hoping to check-out the "handcrafted pasta" but they didn't have that. PIty. Nothing else really appealled so I opted for a cheeseburger, which had burnt cheese stuck to the bottom. (The burger at Rimrock's was was way better prepared.) My friend had two sides-- the baked macaroni and cheese and "simple greens." She was satisfied. Even though they were busy they didn't rush us out, which was appreciated. So many of these places focus heavily on their drink menus, more than the food. Okay, but not sure I'd return if I found myself back in the area.

Very electric atmosphere with hifi records playing in the back on a turntable, basically a modern twist on a classic. Awesome food, fast service, you have to stop by here.Parking: Try to park somewhere close, the parking lot is usually packed. There are a lot of options within a few minutes by foot though.Wheelchair accessibility: Not really accessible via wheelchair, try the back entrance

Cute spot where the locals love to go (as well as tourists) with a smaller but fantastic menu. They have turntables that they alternate playing genuine old school records (see photos) and the servers and bartenders are fun professional and friendly. Food is delicious and the cocktails are superb!

Doc Ponds is one of my favorites. I don’t get to eat here often, but when I do I am always stoked. Got the calamari and the ribeye, and both were perfect. The tedeschi trucks record was perfect for dining, I can’t wait for next time.

I thought the food was great. The servers seemed either unhappy or uninterested. Seemed kind of overrated compared to what I read online.

We didn’t get the opportunity to dine here but was frustrated by the service. Mainly posting this review to share that the outdoor space is not dog friendly.We were looking for a heated patio to dine with our dog in winter. We’d been recommended Doc Ponds. We wanted to check before walking up. However we called several times over a 15 minutes period to ask about outdoor availability and dog friendliness to no answer.We decided to walk in and see. The hostess was very rude when we asked about dog friendliness (they are NOT dog friendly inside or out). Further, despite a lot of availability at the restaurant, take out was unavailable due to capacity. So we went elsewhere.We heard such good things about this place but we were put off by the rudeness. Think we’ll skip it for this trip!

Extremely friendly staff, seemed like they all love working here. We had a great meal seated at the bar. Unique and delicious cocktails. It’s a smallish and very popular restaurant, so try to get on the list early or go later when most of the families have cleared out.

Get there at 5 on a Saturday and there is no wait. Get there at 6 and it's a 45 minute wait.I have had hundreds of Caesar salads. This one, with breadcrumbs(!) and a boiled egg, and added anchovies, was exceptional. The cheddar fritters were so good I had a second portion. And what a great pie! Orange and chocolate ganache if you can believe it.
