    Food was ok but the service was terrible. The waitress seemed to ignore our requests and very forgetful. I think if they did a little more investment in training the staff in customer service it could be really great!

    Love this place. Food, Service, Staff is top level. Could be the reason we ride our bikes here so much. Food is soooo good. Everything on the menu is great. From the wedge salad to the spicy chicken salad. If you haven’t gone, go!

    This is my husband’s and my new favorite happy hour place! Love the ambience, the food is delicious (pretzel and smash burgers are to die for), and the happy hour deals are amazing. We have been there 4 times now and have always had excellent service. Small parking lot, but plenty of street parking.

    A great vibe with some tasty food and a cool atmosphere. I come here more for the vibe than the quality of the food, but some of the items on the menu are worth trying.
