★★★★★ 5.0 Muggas · Mar 2025

The food was so fresh and delicious. The dressing in the Street Corn Wrap was amazing, and you can still taste every ingredient inside the huge portion. The macaroni side was spot on. I only wish it was a bigger portion. Very friendly attentive service, and the place had a really great vibe. The beer and drink selection was solid. Prices are reasonable for the size of the wraps. Will definitely return for the live music and happy energy of this spot.

I always joke that it's pretentious grilled cheese sandwiches, and they do have those... at 14 to 18 dollars with ingredients to justify them but also free live music six nights a week, a variety of craft beers on tap, and other items on the menu if you're in the area totally worth stomping in!

★★★★☆ 4.0 LeeAnna Flannery · Oct 2025

Stopped in for an after dinner drink. Super friendly service, made great drink recommendations. Enjoyed watching the staff interact with other guests - they take the time to know their regulars, greeting them by name. Unique vibe with awesome art all around. Only 4 stars because 2 seasonal drinks cost over $30.

★★★★★ 5.0 Megan Justice · Sep 2022

Loved the vibe here. Live music but luckily I happened to be there for open Mic night so almost all original music being played. The gourmet grilled cheeses all sounded yummy I picked the Sinatra. I saw others ordering wings those looked fantastic I'll definitely try those next time. Good selection of ciders and beer. I love all the art and funky stuff hanging everywhere. Such a cool place!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Alexis B · Jul 2021

The food was very, very greasy. My dish, which was flavorful, it was a Mac and cheese with bbq pork and I liked it. But very greasy. The pot pies weren’t really pot pies because there was no crust. It was all cheese, potatoes, and grease. In the photo you can see it’s completely drenched in oil. The grilled cheese was good though, but it’s odd that you can’t choose your own side to go with it. And the other sandwich was not very good.
