★★★★★ 5.0 John Hannan · Feb 2026

This is a cozy bar/grill serving up American cuisine. The restaurant is clean and remodeled, my first visit ever. The staff, maybe just a server and cook on duty, was friendly and welcoming. Three of us stopped in on our work lunch break. They were a bit busy and we were limited on time. We did have a wait and they expedited our order. Everything was fresh and straight off the grill. They serve hearty portions, good value for the quality.

Cute little place, I was immediately intrigued by their decor(from the money on the ceiling to all the personalized license plates on the wall). I went today (Thursday) around 1pm to place a to go order, there were a few tables and a couple people at the bar and even with only one server(Tara according to my receipt) and a few people to take care of she still took the time to explain to me the story behind the money on the ceiling. She also made sure to include plastic utensils, condiments, extra napkins and labeled boxes without me having to ask which is hard to come by these days for take out. Food was all delicious(burger w/fries and old bay wings) and I'm so glad I got dessert too(raspberry & cream cake) the raspberries were so flavorful and the icing was so light and fluffy and just t

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Kathleen Sullivan · Jan 2026

Please note this review is from the first Friday of their soft opening. We arrived early when the restaurant wasn’t very full and were seated immediately. It filled up quickly soon after. Our server was incredibly attentive, and drinks came out fast. (Note - they do not have alcohol available yet.) After we placed our food orders, however, things slowed down significantly. My elementary-aged daughter ordered the kids burger, my husband the BLT, and I had the Bacon Brake-Check with grilled chicken instead of fried. Around the 30-minute mark with no food, I asked if it would be possible to get tortilla chips for my increasingly hangry child, which the staff kindly accommodated. Her food came out 5-10 minutes later, and our meals followed another 10 minutes after that—roughly 45–50 minutes

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Willie Burnham · Feb 2026

Let me tell you this. Old owners were great. Food was always great but they sold the restaurant. So we wanted to give local restaurant a chance. This place is horrible now. 3-4 people in the back doing nothing. Watched so many items brought out wrong to people. The lady working tables by herself could not keep up. So many customers walked out today. Wish we did but wanted to give place a chance. Now as for food. Don’t expect to get what you see on the website. Not even in same zip code. If I could have walked out without paying I would, but to late for us because the junk that was brought to our table. So be aware of good reviews because they came from previous owners and the new ones kept same name. I give this place two months and they will be bankrupt.

★★★★★ 5.0 David Quinn · Jan 2026

Everything tasted great. We went during their soft reopening. The only thing I would change really is there were TVs on playing music videos silently which was kinda odd while there was not really music playing or kinda like some background elevator music. Woulda been nice to have some football on on a Sunday. The food was really good I got the BLT which was awesome and my mother got the burger and she loved it.
