"There’s something magical about dining in this house built in the 1890s that has taken on many identities — a grocery store, a laundromat, a deli, a gym, a paint shop, a thrift store. Today, it’s a homey tavern restaurant with entertaining, family-owned memorabilia along the walls, like old sports teams and local brewery signs. The menu is definitely entree-heavy, offering a vast range of them — a creamy honey chicken pasta, a stroganoff, and a London broil, all for around $20. If it’s not for the food, go for the service, where just one step in the door makes any guest a longtime regular. Weekends are super busy, and there are no reservations, so expect a wait. The house rule on the menu is, “If you can’t have a good time here — check your pulse!”" - Kayleigh Ruller
