Decent place to grab food. Cheese quesadilla was delicious, burger needed way more seasoning, fries were overdone, and a sauce definitely needed. Chocolate cake was a fudge cake and would not recommend. Server was attentive and answered any questions I had. Wait time in food was 20 min, appetizer came out fairly quickly. Overall would come back to the quesadilla, the burger and cake will take a pass on.

This place was great in all aspects. The attitude and service from the bartender was very helpful and friendly. The food was amazing with a huge selection on the menu and having 5 day boards to choose from for leagues was amazing. I'll definitely be back. Edit: second trip back and it was just as great. The food was amazing again, service was great and the facilities to throw darts is one of the best in town.

One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! Perfection!! Their menu is endless with so many mouth watering things to pick from. I had the flatIron steak and it was amazing! Perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned! Tender, juicy, and absolutely delicious! This was so much better than any of the so called steakhouses across the city and the price is so much more reasonable! Can’t stop thinking about it!!!!

My husband and I are so glad that we saw the outside sign reading "The Best Burgers In Town"... well we took them up on that -- So Incredibly Glad that We Did! Wonderful experience! Pleasant staff, wonderful food, and such a pleasant atmosphere & " The Long Tall Cold Neck Beers did not break my husband's heart" (the beers were plenty COLD). I was gifted with a wonderful Birthday song from all who were enjoying the livations! WE WILL BE BACK!👍😁 Jeff & Lulu Porter

The breakfast buffet is very good. They don't have the biggest variety, but that's because the food that they do serve is absolutely delicious! They focus on quality, not quantity. And. It. Shows. I'll be back for sure! They have attentive and friendly wait staff. I really enjoyed my first experience there.
