Our Guestbook
“ We enjoyed the pretzel and mustard to start, which is a unique free starter rather than the usual bread. For an appetizer we got buffalo chicken dip which had chunks of chicken and served with tortilla chips. It had a slight kick and was cheesy enough. Our mains consisted of salad, chicken pot pie which was very hot but good, burger and steak and ribs. All entrees were tasty but my side of broccoli with my steak could have been hotter. All in all, a good birthday dinner for me and my family. ”
“ Came here tonight for dinner with my family. The service was great. Food was delicious. This place is very family, wheel chair accessible and kid friendly. I'd love to come back here again. Everyone cleaned up their plates. They started the table with fresh hot pretzels. There's a lot of room to move around. ”
“ Excellent comfort food , went w Yelp recommended onion soup and found myself scraping the cheese off the outside of the bowl it was so good , get the meatloaf, get the tuna, get the penna pasta weatballs, get the wings , just get there ! And cotton candy w the check (which it isn't $$$ either) service was solid with and ABSOLUTELY PACKED house and ppl waiting (ie. 6pm rsvp for 13ppl on a Saturday night!!) ... definitely going back btw be cateful you don't eat too much of the warm pretzels they give you as you sit down !!! Heck even the mustard they give you w the pretzels was notable ! ”
“ Really good food. Went for restaurant week! Awesome menu choices. Provided pretzels as their bread for the table which is awesome! However, the service here lacks. Takes a while to get refills on drinks. We did get cotton candy on the table for dessert which was tasty. Wasn't loud in there which was good! ”
“ Wow just wow! Service was on point, waitress was on my water refill like white on rice. The food was outstanding, full of flavor and truly felt like a home cooked meal and not a restaurant. Didn't have the dessert but my friend did and said it was delicious. They also give you cotton candy with the check that's kinda cool and different ”
“ The restaurant appears larger from Sunrise Highway but once inside it seems and feels smaller and intimate-which I appreciate. Warm salted pretzels while you wait and browse the menu is a nice touch. The pasta with meatballs was great, creamy and a joy to eat with the meatballs acting as tasty surprises in each bite. The waitress was polite, funny, and present when needed. Good: -Linguini and Shrimp -Cavatappi alla Vodka & Meatballs -BBQ Chicken Tacos -The Original Moscow Mule -Private lot for parking -Plenty of seating during early dinner hours (5pm-6pm) Bad: -None ”
“ I forget why I don't come here more often. The buffaloes chicken dip was fantastic. So we ordered two. The free pretzels that you get instead of bread were great, we ate them all. The wings were perfectly cooked. The Brussel sprouts had a drizzle of some spurt of cheese sauce on them, come on man what are you doing to me???? The waiter told me the chicken pot pie was fresh made and great. Rarely does a place like this ever live up to the expectations. I wish it didn't. Because my daughter ate half of it so I had to have some of her ribs. Which were fine. It it's unfair for me to review those since I make the best 3-2-1 ribs (if you know you know) And to end the night cotton candy with your check. Which I don't particularly like but everyone else loves So know why I don't go here? Gained 3 pounds. Thanks for that. ”
