It's a quaint bar with solid food and great specials, along with good happy hour deals, It's not great for late-night adventures, but it's a great, off-the-map place to get fed for the night ahead!

Picked up the broasted chicken and it takes some time to cook, so if you want it in a hurry, plan ahead. It was really good and I had 2 more meals out of my initial meal. Their tacos on Tuesday are huge and just...Read More

The Bartender working on Sunday 02/11/18 at 11:30am is a rude, obnoxious, and unprofessional human being. The food that I ordered for carryout was tossed at me across the bar. I was also told that she is smart enough to know that my order …

If you've never had The Well's perch, you havent lived. It's not cheap, it's worth every penny. You want cheap white fish, go to Cinders. You want bomb fish, go to The Well. You wanna show up early, they place gets packed quick on fridays.
