What a pleasant surprise to find a great pub near the Erie Canal! Stopped in for lunch and enjoyed the Turkey Club with homemade spicy chips! I had a Tuna Melt without the bread because I needed a break and it was fine with the lettuce and tomato! Got to meet the owner's sister and her friend who were so friendly and helpful with the menu orders!!! Loved the sports bar vibe that is also welcoming for families too!! Will return to try the big beer selection!! P.S. The bathrooms are cute and clean too!!!

Came here a few weeks ago with my family while on vacation in this area for lunch and was expecting fast food. Never heard of this place before. Now we got in and I was so happy it was a diner. They had some of the BEST burgers I have ever eaten! The booths were really cozy and hit the spot for a diner experience. They even had a jukebox in the corner u could play. I’m a diner buff and love me a good diner vibe and this was spot on ! Would most definitely highly recommend this place . I also got a strawberry milkshake with rainbow sprinkles uhh the chefs kiss right there. I wish we had one of these diners in Delaware but we don’t sadly. The root beer is homemade it wasn’t the best but I have had worse root beer. We will definitely be eating here again if we r up this area. And that’s a man

Used the app to grab lunch for my son and I on my way home from work on a Saturday. Received the notification my food was ready as soon as I walked through the door. The dude who greeted me and handed me my food was super upbeat and made sure I got both my root beers even though the receipt wasnt very legible. Gotta have the root beer!

Took my 87 year old mother there and we had such a great time! The music flowed along with the decor and the top notch service matched the delicious food. My mother couldn't decide on her bacon blue cheese burger or fish fry seeing how it was Friday, so we had both and she kept saying it was the best she has had in decades! Thank you Tom Whals! 😋😍
