★★★★★ 5.0 Lisa Hunsberger · Dec 2025

This place is truly a hidden gem and has come a long way since my first visit. You can definitely see the difference with the new team—they genuinely care, and it shows in the service and overall experience. The food is really good; some of my favorites are the Bold & Tangy burger, Bourbon Street Pasta, Smoked Gouda Mac n Chz, Brioche French Toast, and the Roast Beef Cheddar Melt. Shout out to the owners as well—I’ve seen them step in and help when needed, which says a lot. Overall, I highly recommend this place.

The new dinner menu has arrived and they are bringing back some classics and they are rocking out some new dishes too! We always love coming here and are so glad they are still bringing the heat. Get the steak- if they’ve got the horseradish sauce get it. Fries are upgraded fresh and hot. Love the atmosphere always and the cocktails are delicious. Service is friendly and they always aim to please. I promise to come back for burgers and mussels soon.

Went in for the first time today for lunch and it was amazing. Food was wonderful and the gentleman filling in was a pleasure. Will be going back for sure.

What a fantastic place! Gorgeous decor and lovely atmosphere. I have gluten intolerance and they were very knowledgeable and thorough with my gluten-free order (delicious bun). My mom, sister and I each ordered a burger and they nailed the temperatures for my well done, my mom’s medium-rare, and sister’s medium-well. To finish it out, this magical peach cobbler blew my mind…I want to say it’s fresh made, because we wanted to order two but they didn’t quite have enough to fill two bowls, so we got a big heaping bowl…which we licked clean. (Though I didn’t actually ask if it’s fresh made). This place may be worth another trip up from South Florida, so I can eat there again. Thanks guys!

We got breakfast here, and it was good! Not great, and it took a while for our food to come out, hence the four stars. I liked everything except for the biscuits and hash browns. The biscuits are dense and have the texture and feel of a scone. And the hash browns were more like home fries. Larger pieces of potato rather than shredded, so it can't really be called hash browns. Other than that, it was good, and we will be coming back!
