Seemed unprofessional, rude, and 100% will not be coming back. Unbelievable behavior from a grown woman. Screaming in everyone's face and a very nasty attitude.

It was REAL steak, and may heave been the best I've ever had. My wife's burger was also great, and had lots of shrooms. Fries (and sandwiches) were all hot and fresh. Service was great and prices are very reasonable. Definitely recommended.

Food options are frozen pizza, chips, or pickled eggs! Popcorn and peanuts are served on the bar and free! During the week the music is too loud depending on how much the owner has to drink.

I had the dried beef sandwich with Gouda cheese on raisin bread. I didn't add mayonnaise, but I would next time. It was surprisingly tasty. I also had a cup of hamburger chowder soup and it really hit the spot. I ended up taking half of my sandwich home. The pickle was a nice addition on the side. Friend had what she said, was the best chicken salad she think she's ever had! It wasn't a really large sandwich, but it was just enough. What a great little spot for lunch. It wasn't real expensive either. It's a very cute place with a brick on the walls and wooden tables and floor. A very nice place for lunch. I'd like to come back and sit on the rooftop a nice weather.

We are told we order there and then find a seat and someone will bring our food. First they brought the wrong food. Two of us were done eating before the other two got their food.
