“ Awesome place, very clean and generous portions! Highly recommend Crazy Chicken Salad! I get it buffalo style ”
“ Their fall menu is here! We ordered from that and we were very satisfied. The brisket burger was piled with thin crispy onions and bacon. My daughter decided to add some of her mash potatoes with gravy on it. She loved it. The gravy was delicious! I dipped my sweet potato fries in it! My daughter wondered what their recipe was. I got the Thanksgiving sandwich. Scrumptious. Could use a little bit more of the cranberry mayo. Friendly service. ”
“ I'm not usually a fan of chain restaurants, but when our "go to" place ran out of fish and chips, we came here! The pic says it all, made with LOVE! ”
“ We stopped here for lunch yesterday, and it was great! The service was fast and friendly, and the food was excellent. My son and I got burgers, and my wife loved the clam chowder. It has a nice, relaxed vibe, and it's definitely worth a visit. ”

“ I been here couple of time. Food is always standard and nice. They have weekend and weekday special. They have good staff. The place looks cozy but not considered very expensive. They have a bar in here. Overall good experience so far... ”
“ This is the home of comfort food so loosen the belt buckle! We started off with some excellent chowders. My seafood was spot on, and they enjoyed their clam chowder. For dinner, I had the Ultimate Steak Tips, over mashed, and I was pretty full! Shamed into dessert by a colleague, I went with the Strawberry Shortcake as the lightest option, but it was fantastic! Our server, Matthew, did a fine job. This place is really good and we highly recommend it! ”
“ Had their Award winning mushroom burger! Was cooked to order and was scrumptious, flavorful, and satisfying! Fries are hot and tasty. Never had a bad experience there! ”
