Testimonials

On 11/11/2025 David King had this to say:
Good service, nice food, cold beer. Televisions, not loud. An ideal place for an evening meal.

On 11/11/2025 Anne Ades had this to say:
Linzie is the bee’s knees of bartenders! No fluff — just great attitude, amazing personality, and top-notch service. She made the best dirty (or should I say dusty!) martinis I’ve ever had.

On 11/4/2025 B D had this to say:
Their chicken Dave sandwich was great. The flavor of the sandwich was amazing. Even better was their bread pudding. It is probably the best I have ever had. The price for the entire lunch was extremely reasonable. I will definitely be going back next time I am in the area.
