"This is first and foremost a bar so it is not kid friendly. I had the phillycheese steak sandwich and fries. The sandwich was good and made with a cheese wiz sauce. The fries were good but could have been a little crisper. All in all it was a good meal. Nice atmosphere and the bartender who also happened to be our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. No sweet tea and the soda selection was Pepsi, diet Pepsi or sierra mist."

"Very friendly, efficient bartenders! Pretty busy for a Wednesday night - they have half off pizzas then. Pizza was yummy! We loved this place and would definitely return. THERE IS SMOKING allowed anywhere inside FYI. Forgot your cigs? There’s a machine! Didn’t bother us but is something to note in case you’d be sensitive to it."
