Food was good. There was a live duo (oldies on guitar and keyboard), but no dance floor to speak of.

Came for the pumpkins and stayed for dinner. Best resturant fries we've ever had. Great food, good portions, friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

What a fab neighborhood bar 👏🏻
Both the pizza and IPAs on tap were fantastic.

Came here on a Monday night because there is literally no place open for ten miles in any direction on Monday night(besides King Eiders and that Newcastle inn place). Quality operation and good vibes all around. Food is very respectable. I had a cheese steak and boo had the chicken parm and they were both very decent and reasonably priced. Not a huge number of healthy choices but there are some salads on offer. Love the name and logo!

I moved here from another state 18 months ago and this is my go-to place. The food is delicious and they're very nice people. I've had one or two inconsistencies when newer hires answer the phone but we are all always learning and every time they've made it just the way I want it with a smile. I've only met one of the owners but she is very very nice and if you go here I don't think you'll have any negatives to take away, maybe just some yummy food :)

Food was great. Awesome service with super friendly staff. Bartender was cool, owner too. My friends and I loved it, Definitely coming back. Hi from NYC!

Clearly there was a hater that felt their best course of action was to get all their friends to complete negative reviews because of their bad experience, but as you read the other reviews you can see the single star reviews are from someone who was speaking on someone else's experience, not their own. Further they were personal attacks and not reviews of the food or establishment. I'm all for using this forum to share positive and negative experiences, but let's act like adults. The food here was very good, the waitress was excellent and I would definitely go back. This is not fine dining, it's a local place with local people. I had no occasion to speak with the owner and neither did the other 15 or 20 people I saw come and go. I would typically rate this 4 stars but she to the clearly biased hate reviews I will rate this five to bring up the average.
