I stopped by for a quick snack at this small eatery. The space is quite tight, with mostly bar seating and closely placed tables — but the food is really good. 1. Duck Taco with Korean BBQ Sauce Rich and flavorful. The snack-size portion is perfect for someone who just wants a taste rather than a full meal. I’d recommend adding a touch of fresh, tangy, or slightly sweet crunchy vegetables to brighten the flavor and balance the richness. 2. Chicken Wings Well-seasoned, crispy on the outside and tender inside. The BBQ sauce isn’t overly sweet — nicely balanced flavor. 3. Chips & Corn Street Dip The dip is absolutely delicious — well made. It would be even better if they offered some variety, like an option to swap chips for bread or add sautéed elements for extra texture and choice. 4. Kids’

My husband and my first time at this restaurant. Decor not as expected when we entered but was kind of cool anyway. Small area. You seat yourself. Waitress promptly greeted us. I tried 2 different seasonal cocktails. Both very good. Menu was small. One thing I noticed was not much red meat but a few dishes had duck which stood out to me. Grownup grilled cheese was delicious. Husband said his wings were very good as well. Not a place to specifically go for a hearty meal due to smaller menu but definitely a place we will return to for drinks & a small bite to eat.

Had heard good things about this little place and we had a chance to give it a try. Not a huge menu or much for picky or restricted eaters. I had the fried chicken sandwich which was a bit dry and the shoe string fries are different - but not my fav. Caesar salad was fresh and enjoyable (but had roasted red peppers on it?) and my wife had the veggie burger which was good. Open floor plan and the small kitchen in the corner of the room. For what they seemed to be working with the food was well done and elements made from scratch but we were not overly impressed or satisfied. Great stop outside of the city if you like draft beer - which they had a HUGE bar - with unique food and decor.

Even though it's an American food place, they put their own unique spin on things and you'll get some flavors here you won't get anywhere else! Plus bartenders are great and they have a constantly rotating beer menu that has introduced me to at least one of my favorites. Been here on many occasions and it's overall definitely one of my favorite food and drink joints. Even better when you're stopping on the way home from hiking in the white mountains 👌🏼only downside is it's a bit expensive but I don't mind cause it's damn good

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Matthew Porter · Aug 2025

Decent food. The hard surfaces of the floor and roof bounce the sound around the room… a lot. You can hear other tables across the room and sometimes hearing your own table can be a chore with each noise swell. The burger was decent enough. I’d recommend a bit more seasoning on it before cooking as it needed a slight flavor punch up. The corn elote dip was pretty tasty. Impressive beer selection.
