This is our new trusty third place. Big fan of the early weekend crew. I think we've been coming here 15 years and I'm not sure the prices have changed much at all. There's something consistent and awesome about how these guys staff this house.

$20–30Atmosphere: 5Fries, Irish Nachos, Beef Stroganoff, Steak, Pulled Pork Sandwich, Pumpkin CheesecakeSomewhat difficult to find parkingFree street parkingThe restaurant is located on a standard city street with street parking. It can be a little hard to find parking due to the popularity of the restaurant.I've been coming here for many many years since I was at least a teenager. So I would say it's kid friendly.Besides for the standard bar stalls there are regular tables you can roll your wheelchair up to. Also outside seating is available with heaters at night.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. The corned beef sliders were excellent, some of the best corned beef I've had in a long time. The waffle fries were crispy and crunchy.
