Hector has been the excellent chef of this awesome joint for as long as I have visited there. Make sure you try their tacos, or anything on the grill.All of the bartenders are extraordinarily talented, and the vibe is cool and fun.

This may have been an out of the ordinary experience, so we’ll have to try again at some point—We walked in and the entire place just about turned to look at us, which I guess is normal, but felt like everyone in their knew each other. We waited a few minutes before just seating ourselves at one of the dining tops near the bar.Another few minutes later and it became clear that we needed to order drinks from the bar and walk them back to our table. No problem. I asked the bartender how we should best go about ordering some dinner, and she said she could take the order here or come over to our table. I asked her if she could come over and take our order so we could have a minute to look over the menu.I take two beers back to our table and we finish them before the bartender/waitress gets to us—which again I can understand for a busy place. So no harm so far—We order the munckee basket and a quesadilla for starters, and I ask for the burger as an entree…and with two other adults sitting with me at the table…the bartender just walks away…without addressing anyone else at the table.We didn’t know if she thought we were done ordering, or if she just wanted appetizer orders…so we just wait a few minutes…like ten minutes…And then we see the cook put a burger on the grill, and we realize that it’s probably our order.So I go back to the bar, ask if we could add to our order, two more burgers. Cooked same as the first. Another bartender takes that portion of the order and adds it.Now the wait began. 20…30…40…50 minutes before food comes out. And it’s the first burger we ordered. Before the appetizers.So now I’m sat there with an entree. No one else has food. I have to wait politely as SOMETHING gets to us that we can all eat.Ten minutes later the quesadilla comes out. We eat that, and I start on my burger.Ten minutes after that, the munckee basket comes out—-and we eat that.Ten minutes after that, the remaining two burgers come out, and everyone can finally finish their meal.All in all- we arrived at 7:15pm. The first bit of food didn’t make it out until 8:30pm. Which was 1 burger.The first appetizer came out at 8:40PM. (We were taking pictures and posting to our group chat- so we’ve got time stamps.)All in all— the burgers were pretty meh. A giant bun with a basically flavorless burger patty.Everything else was alright. The beers were cold and the music was blaring. Conversations are hard to come by.Maybe the place just isn’t our speed, but it was very busy, and only had two folks serving bar and waiting tables. Combined. And a single person cooking. I’m struggling to give this a 3/5, but truly sympathize with servers, as I was raised single-handedly by one. We tipped well and went off.

Wrap-around bar in the middle. Food and service are both excellent. Recommend the quesadillas. Have heard good things about seafood here, too.Parking: Parking spots can be hard to find along the street, but there are usually spots close by on the side streets.
