Our first time eating brunch here after church. The staff is very friendly. The garlic Parmesan wings and Chicken w/ waffles were our favorites. The price is reasonable. Just hope the food would come out a little bit faster considering it wasn't packed yet....Read More

Came in with a rather larger party after a funeral. Janelle and Lauren took such great care of us. Drinks and food were phenomenal but those two ladies really took our dining experience to the next level.

Fabulous patty melt. Great cheeseburger. Crispy fresh fries. Tasty spot on cocktails. This is the place to go for a nice casual dinner. Tonight was the Farmer's Market, so we sat at the window and did some people watching.

We came in minutes before the kitchen closed and they still sat us, gave us great service, and YUMMY food! The lemon drop was a 10/10. Sliders were great. Fries were top notch and plentiful (I recommend sharing a side of these).
