Nice little place to try out. Our server was fantastic and was prompt and friendly. Definitely give this place a try if you are nearby. Portions are generous and prices are fair.

The food was fantastic! The ribs are fall off the bone, yes I know, but fantastic non the less. Great variety of drinks and a solid atmosphere.

This is one of my favorite spots. Nice chill vibe, great bar food (be sure to check the daily special as there are some great finds), and super friendly staff. I have tried about everything on the menu and it’s all good.

The food is the real deal here! I’ve been here a few times and everytime the food has been great!. The level of the quality of food doesn’t match the laid back vibe. Which makes a place a gem!! Spicy Feta dip is my favorite!...Read More

Finally got to try their ribs and they were fall off bone great! Very much like the original Nick's Rib Room and the sauce not quite as thick or rich it still had that great vinegar sweet tang that sets the taste buds off.
