Great food! The chicken nachos were fantastic and unique! The outdoor/alley patio is wonderful, the beer selection is extensive, and the servers are friendly/very helpful. Thus is a must if you are in Champaign-Urbana!

This place is always amazing. The food is very unique and it is amazing. The kid in me lives the chili Mac (and the kid wins most of the time), but they also have amazing burgers, fancier entrees, and great appetizers. I don't drink much anymore, but they also have a solid beer list and a three or f
Hands down the best grilled chicken in town. Always great food and solid beer selection.
