Exceptional service and great ambiance. Although the main chef was absent, resulting in a limited menu, the meal was delightful and swift — the perfect prelude to our evening.

We were a party of four, two kids and two adults. They do not have a kid's menu, but they have plenty of kid friendly options!My youngest loved the spaghetti with meatsauce and "garlic bread" (toast with butter and garlic seasoning), and it came with a very nice side salad. My oldest devoured the chicken tenders and fries - these are real chicken breast tenders hand battered, mind you, not frozen chicken product. Both had leftovers for tomorrow.My dad had the burger and chips, and pronounced it excellent. I had the open faced roast beef and gravy, which is served with mashed potatoes or fries. Very good!The food took a little longer than some places, but I'm sure that's because they are preparing the dishes fresh instead of from pre-cooked and microwaved food. I'd rather wait for a meal made with care!The bar and dining area was clean, open, and inviting. Low top and high top tables, and bar seating. Two pool tables in the back.The staff was friendly and kind, we felt very welcome on our first visit. I will definitely go back again! So much more to sample, I wonder if they make good chicken salad or wings! :)

Awesome service, clean bar with ice cold beer. Get there early because parkings scarce! Two pool tables and jukebox also, what else can you ask for?

Great food, friendly staff, & excellent draft beer selection for a small neighborhood bar! Like the song says,”I love this bar!” (The grilled ham & cheese & the honey Old Bay wings are killer!)

My son took me there for lunch one day. Great food. Very friendly workers. Been back there a couple of times and took friends they also like the food. Freshly made, good prices and a lot of it. Always decorated very nice.
