We had a wonderful time. Great food and great waitress! We also had some regulars move so we could have a table. They can back to see if we were having a good time. Can't ask for better than that!!

This is a town staple for those who know about it. Theyve always had amazing food here... menu will change a little here and there and all of it is always fantastic. Been going here for years... havent gone as much as i used to since i became a long haul truck driver but back in the day i used to go almost every night. Always great people there ready for good conversation over great food. Totally worth the stop and in a very convenient location.

After reading that this place served the worst pizza that Kevin has ever eaten in his life, I had to try it. The pizza was great, as was everything else we ordered (cocktails, Parmesan garlic chicken wings). I do agree that this place is loud because I’m old, and I did end up taking my order to go.

Recommendation from another service industry person who said we had to check this place out before we left. Glad we stopped by. Great service from the bartender and even though we didn't eat, the pizza's coming out looked and smelled delicious.
