Its a bar, with a diner menu (minus b’fast)… Service is good enough, though the wait staff should be given more latitude to make things right, other than having your burger recooked (while your friends eat)!
I’ve NEVER gotten a burger here cooked medium, even though I order med rare «just to make sure»… Irritating!
I order another $ 6 pint to give the staff room to make it right… Nope, full price for everything.
Gotta love the patio when it’s beautiful out though… Gonna get wings and beer next time I need sun.

Stopped in for lunch with the family because the establishment had a big patio. First thing we noticed is the patio furniture and floor were pretty dirty. Food on the floor and tables needed to be cleaned; odd because it was dead slow and the two servers were standing around (you have time to lean, you have time to clean).
We decided to stay and try the food, despite the less than clean settings. Food was good, decent portions, and it came out in a timely manner. The service was good and the server seemed happy to be there for our needs.
Then the bill came. Kids drinks were $ 3 a pop a little high but they each had two or three so the refills covered the cost. Auto gratuity on the check, I Hate auto gratuity. The server earned her 25% tip that I usually give but don’t tack on an auto 18% for just a party of 5. Big table sure, recommended tip amount OK but if my service sucked I’m not shelling out any tip let alone 18%.
The cleanliness is the big thing for me, if the patio isn’t clean what does the cooler that my food came out of look like? I realize that FOH and BOH are separate staff but the manger and owner oversee both! Standards people!

Food average bar food prices average service average. Overall average. Nothing to wright home about. Very loud tonight couldn’t hear the person beside you. Several people got up and left, most likely will not return here

This was one of the to go spots, to meet up with people from work, after a long week on a Friday night to go chill on their patio and have a few drinks. In the past I never ordered any of their food just drank. I see why now I will only stick with the beers here.
What can I say about the selection here is meh, when it comes to the draft beer choices. Prices are comparable to all the other bars in the area. 4.75 for a Sam Adams October fest, and that was the only October fest they have here.
Food.I ordered their steak Philly with fries. It looked better than it actually was. All roll and no steak and way too much cheese. The roll was too much, too thick and it need to be toasted longer and STUFFED with steak, onions and peppers. It probably had 2 misley pieces of steak in it. The fries on the other hand were hand cut and pretty good. They needed to be fried more for my liking, they were soggy and soft, not the way you want a french fries to be.
Next time I might try one of their appetizers and still to their bottle beers. They are getting 3 stars because they have a pretty sweet patio and their waitstaff is good.
