Food was really good, place was extremely busy but our server was very on top of things. Had the buffalo shrimp, fish Reuben and pasta salad. All if it was outstanding and appears to be made fresh upon ordering. Place was clean, staff was friendly. If i lived around here, Id definitely be back!

Ive stopped in a few times to grab a quick drink at the bar to kill some time, each time Ive had great, friendly service. Ive also ordered their wings and was really surprised with how good they were. I will definitely be getting wings from here again.
