The best burger I’ve had in a long time!! The fries were crispy and the spiedie sub was so flavorful. 10/10 experience we will be back!

Great portions at great prices with delicious food! Went with a group and got burgers, pizza, and wings, and everything was well-made and very tasty. Draft beer selection is on the small side but has something for everyone. Only challenge was that music was either very loud or nonexistent because of the jukebox.

Was looking for a bar that still had an open kitchen because places close early here on Sundays. Found this place and decided to check it out. Ordered a beer and the kitchen was open. I ordered a burger and fries and it was really good. The burger was cooked properly and had good flavor. There were about 20 people here and the place was very clean. Everyone was friendly and the service was fast. Had a nice selection of food and drinks.
