We are not from there so word of mouth didn't make it to us. Go to the door on the left Once inside it's a really cool place, not very big though. Our waitress was really friendly and checked on us frequently. The food was really good! My son got the chicken tenders, I got the chicken quesadilla and garlic parm fries , my husband got the burnt ends and Cajun fries. Everything inside was very clean, bathrooms were nice and clean too We did not check out the bar side, but it seemed busy.

The Barbacoa sandwich has some of the most amazing flavors I've experienced with a sandwich like…read morethis. The meat was so tender, the onions /peppers were sweet, the sauce so good, and the bread was so soft and had a nice crisp on the outside. The meat was a little spicy but I really enjoyed it however just wanted to point that out for those who may be sensitive to a little heat. The Brussels sprouts had so much flavor. There was a sweet, vinegar, mustard flavor that together really brought out an amazing flavor. The staff were so nice and helped make some awesome recommendations. The ambiance was very welcoming and comfy feeling. The chai tea was some of the best. The chai was perfect it wasn't too spicy and wasn't too sweat like some can be. All around a great experience and I highly recommend this place.

The first time there was more onions than meat and it was very dry. The last time there wasn't the usual amount of meat and it was dry burnt and crispy. There was hardly any sauce either which made it difficult to get down. Not sure if I'll ever go back.

They have a nice selection on dipping sauces. I've always enjoyed their buffalo chicken salad. Other people in our party have ordered the Cobb salad, that looked tasty too. You can't go wrong with the food. It's just a bar setting with a dining area, nothing fancy. The waitperson we had was not terribly friendly, but she was good at remembering people's drink orders. The prices are not bad. What I don't like, they are cash only!

We couldn't have picked a better spot. We were seated immediately and notice the place was filled with mainly locals. Our server stopped by right away to take our drink order and ask us if we had any questions. She was so nice, so friendly, offered great recommendations and was fun to talk to. Mr. Bee ordered the Monte Cristo Wrap and I tried the house made veggie burger. The food came out quickly and was nice and hot. The Monte Cristo Wrap was really quite good and had a lot of nice flavors and was seasoned well. My veggie burger was different but delicious. It was also seasoned well and I managed to eat every last bite and thoroughly enjoyed it. I ordered a side of Fried Mac and Cheese and it too was very different than what you would expect. The mac and cheese is not shaped into balls, battered and fried. They take their mac and cheese and smash it down on the grill to cook it. So good. It had lots of crispy bits on it. The food was fresh and really well cooked. The place is like an old fashioned diner and friendly service with a smile. The atmosphere was fun, and everyone seemed friendly and were enjoying their meals. We were full, but when our server came by and said we have fresh made pies, Mr. Bee jumped on that bandwagon. We got a piece of coconut cream pie to go. We stopped in the park in the middle of the square where there are a few benches and picnic tables. We enjoyed our pie, it was scrumptious while enjoying the beautiful sunny day.

It's a pretty casual place that's better than it looks. Can get crowded but things ran smoothly last time in. The food is basic diner stuff with a few better things. A popular place for the local residents to gather. It's one of the many local bars and restaurants around here. This seems to be one of the better ones. Has the main dining area. While waiting for an order go check out the back with the gaming area to play slots. It's $2.50 for domestic beers. That's good. It's about $7 for appetizers. The Pretzel Bites are the best of these. Fluffy and comes with a dipping sauce, choice of beer cheese or something else. The rest of the menu features classics like breakfast including eggs, omelets, and toast, and lunch has things like burgers, fish, and pasta. For sure it's a place for locals as well as tourists looking for classic diners and grills. It's got a lot of various memorabilia. They're closed Sundays.

Lots of TVs tuned into various games. You can get pretty strong drinks and food that's better than it looks. Certainly there's a greasy feeling about it. It's not exactly the cleanest or nicest but it's better than a whole lot of other places in town to go to. This mostly gets crowded on weekends. Actually it's never too crowded. There's happy hours on Wednesdays and Saturdays. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. Whiskey and whatever. It's about $7 for most appetizers. The Giant Pretzel is great for sharing. Comes with a beer cheese or something else. The rest of the menu includes things like fish sandwiches. Good place to watch games. It's one of the few places around here that's open on Sundays. That makes sense because races are usually on the weekends.

I heard some good things about the pizza they serve so I figured I would give it a shot for myself. I placed a carry out order over the phone and was told it would be 20 minutes. The place wasn't that busy when I arrived, and it looked just like I remembered. There were two employees working and I spoke with both. They were both very friendly and my pizza was ready as promised. The crust was about par for the course around here. Not much taste outside of flour. The sauce was decent, and the toppings were plentiful. The cheese is the type mozzarella that turns a bit rubbery, but I must admit, I like that. All in all, I enjoyed the pizza, and the service was friendly. Was it my favorite pizza in Pontiac? No. But, I wouldn't hesitate to come back.
