The food was wonderful! The fries, they call side winders are delicious! If you like potato wedges you'll like them. I had the PB&J burger and as weird as it sounds it was wonderful!! I already can't wait to go back, I definitely recommend eating here if you're in the area!

A very nice experience. Menu was simple enough, a slight step up from your average pub menu. I ordered the Geronimo Burger cooked to order and the patty was done precisely to my order. The Cole slaw was excellent! Our server was prompt and friendly. A little loud in the smaller, store front space, but I would say that is part of the atmosphere. Would definitely return.

What a gem this place is! The people working there are so pleasant and prompt! Bri, our waitress, was wonderfully engaging and well-informed. We tried the southwest chicken salad, the stars & stripes burger and the jalapeno popper grilled cheese as well as the French onion soup. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious. My burger was cooked perfectly and the complex flavors are very well thought out. The French onion soup had such a unique and slightly spicy flavor... it was great! To top it all off the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality. If you're in this area this restaurant should be a the top of your list!!!

Nice bar and grill with friendly staff and a large bar. Sauerkraut balls are yummy. Has a nice selection of burgers, salads, and sandwiches.

Stopped in for dinner with a group of friends. This was my first time and it didn’t disappoint. The place was clean, had decent seating, and the prices were great. I got the Geronimo Burger, and it was huge!
