Their attitude was so rude that I only ordered a slice of cheese pizza and a soda, even though I had planned to order a whole pizza. After one bite, I threw the slice away, took my soda, and ate at the restaurant next door instead. No customer should be made to feel unwelcome or discriminated against. The community should not ignore this kind of treatment. There are award-winning pizza places in Somerville and Raritan where customers are treated with respect and appreciation. I will never return to this place.

There was a bit of a mix up during our dinner with meals and the system going down but it was quickly fixed and not a problem overall. We started with 'Gabe's Street Corn' which was fresh char grilled NJ corn on the cob smothered in buttery brown sugar sriracha sauce, house chipotle aioli, smoked paprika, parmesan & fresh cilantro. I would come back just for this ... this was SO delicious. I am a Street Corn lover but this was some of the best I've ever had. For our entrees, my husband got the 'Root Beer BBQ Burger' which was char grilled angus burger, swiss, provolone, hardwood smoked bacon, house sarsaparilla root beer BBQ, lettuce, tomato, frizzled onions & cheese crusted brioche. This burger was BIG and he said it was one of the best he's ever had. I ordered the 'Grilled Watermelon & Basil Salad' which was mixed greens, toasted almonds, feta cheese, hardwood smoked bacon, charred juicy watermelon, fresh chopped basil, sliced cucumbers & house buttery garlic croutons; Served with balsamic vinaigrette. There was definitely not enough watermelon, but the salad was huge and quite good; very fresh. That is one thing I can say for sure; the portions are big. The prices are a bit high but you get a good portion. For my dessert, we got the ice cream flight which is 4 flavors of your choosing. We tried the 'Peanut Butter Cup' (very light on flavor, not in your face peanut butter but still good), 'Strawberry Buttermilk' (this was my favorite! So creamy and flavorful), 'Black Raspberry Truffle' (another favorite. HUGE chocolate chunks!) and 'Watermelon Garden Mint Mojito' (Light flavor, but not my favorite. I would not get this again. I tasted mostly mint, not too much watermelon). I would 100% come back if I was in the area and I would recommend. I love any place that has unique ice cream flavors and not just the typical flavors. Service was friendly and felt very welcoming.

The chicken tenders are pretty big, the owners suggested 1-2 for my son and he was right. He ate 1 and it was more than enough for him. I had the mango platter.

We stopped in as a party of 2 on a Wednesday evening and there were only 2 other tables when we arrived, but nearly every table was full by the time we left. They also offer outdoor seating as well. Our server let us know that everything except the ketchup and mayo is made in house, which is great. A small basket of chips and salsa were dropped off quickly, but we had to ask for water more than once before it was dropped to the table. The salsa was quite good and we would have got some more chips, but a refill is $4 and the portion size didn't feel worth it to us. We decided on the avocado tacos since sadly they were out of the coconut shrimp tacos we originally wanted. We had a pulled pork sandwich and salmon entree for our mains, which we both liked. I had Mac and cheese on the side, which wasn't something I would order again, but the fries were good. There are 4 different house sauces to try and I found the Honey Chipotle to be my favorite.

They also share their location with an Indian restaurant as well. The rice was bland & kinds dry, & the chicken was legit just regular Wingdings style fried chicken with nothing to them.

Staff was fantastic, friendly and informative (since it was our first time there), we parked in the back, since there was no parking up front, with all the "To Go" orders being picked up. Wings are big and they do have breading, which is nice, because it carried every delicious bite of sauce. Catfish was nicely seasoned and fried perfectly, for one thing, they have some big lobster tails and they are worth every penny. Everything was packaged really well and stayed warm/hot the whole drive home. It was roughly $100. and I think that is a fair price for what we ordered. We will definitely be back!
