★★★★★ 5.0 Ethan Rycenga · Jan 2026

What a great hole-in-the-wall. This place rocked! It was such a welcoming environment, having your typical dive-bar look, but also super warm and friendly. The food was so flavorful and original. We had the wings, and they were charred to perfection with the perfect amount of siracha honey sauce. Other people in our party had the stuffed avocado and shrimp wraps, and both said they were great! Our server was super friendly and informative. She did a fantastic job at making sure we were accommodated during our meal. If we’re in the area again, we’ll be sure to be back!

Live bar music on stage in evening; beer was good, ale was greater, appetizers & big salad was fast & fresh … and damn fine! Price$ were very reasonable & the staff/friendliness was top tier; this is no “ dive”, it’s just a great bar with good food & great people.

The bartender and server did a great job dealing with a full place. They each came over to see what we needed. Was my first time here. Cool spot with good food options and plenty of drink options.

★★★★★ 5.0 Harold Campbell · Feb 2026

Fantastic place!! Atmosphere and service was excellent!! We have had the stuffed avocado before and it was more then excellent. This time......the kitchen left the avocado in the skin/shell. We had to dig out the avocado to even eat it. Very Inconvenient process to eat that dinner. Also....the avocados were pretty small. It still tasted great.
