    The frozen chicken wings. I swear I've gotten these from Gordon's
    Amanda P.

    A lot of locals really like this place and it seems to be consistently busy so I thought I would try it. I got wings as an appetizer and they were just like the kind you buy from Gordon's thick breading gooey on the inside. Not my fav. The salad was plain iceberg lettuce with two tomatoes. I got fish and chips thinking this would be a good place to get it if you were going to get it anywhere and I was not impressed. It was soggy and you could literally pick it up in the water ran out of it like they cooked it from Frozen it was definitely not hand battered it reminded me of Van de camps that you get from Kroger. My partner got a burger which did seem good. Could have you seasoning but it was a big Patty and it had some crispy edges. There's plenty of seating it's sort of a cheers vibe there. Like the same 10 people keep coming in. The waitress was readily available although she was not the most friendly she never smiled and she said you're welcome before you said thank you. It was just a really off experience. I don't plan to go back. Having said that about 20 people piled in as I was leaving. Like I said the locals love it but it just wasn't for me.

    Burrito with chips
    Tiffany Z.

    Divey kind of place but food was very good and fresh tasting, service was good and the Trash Can drink was a LOT of fun! Definitely worth getting. We all had the burrito - which could be shared with 2 people. Also had the fish and chips meal. The cod were nice plump sized, not too much breading so you got only fish. The tartar sauce was a nice addition. Also a decent size and brought home one piece of fish and some fries. Our cousin said he went here as a kid for family dinners over 40 years ago and the decor hasn't changed but it's still a good family place with good food. When we visit again I'd go back here!

    Trash cans are delicious here. Favorite thing to get is the fish and chips. Service is GREAT! Love this place. My new go-to for lunch.

    Frozen lobster tail.

    One star is for the fact that I will return. I will return to try one of their burgers because they looked and smelled delicious! And those fries looked like the devil's starchy fingers willing me to try them. Anyway... My own culinary experience was very disappointing. I started with a clam chowder. It was shockingly free of the flavor of clam...or anything else especially identifiable. I have a sensitive palate. I am great at determining even subtle elements of a flavor profile. All I tasted was salt. A few bites was all I managed, which became the theme of the experience. My salad was your typical Midwest salad. Iceberg lettuce in a bowl with a frozen tomato, half a boiled industrially farmed egg, shredded carrot, a bunch of processed croutons - hold the cheese. It was a pretty big portion as side salads tend to go, but predictably uninteresting. The entree I chose was the day's special - a sirloin strip with shrimp, and a baked potato, along with my soup and salad, and I thought I'd indulge foolish hope by adding a market price lobster tail. The cook must have some powerful magic, let me tell you! I requested my steak to be cooked MEDIUM. It arrived rare, medium, AND well done with the medium portion being about a 2-inch strip in the very center. The shrimp were fried. The menu didn't specify, and I should have asked, but I somehow just assumed they would be grilled. No matter. They were lovely as fried shrimp go. Plump, and cooked perfectly! Now...here is possibly the most magical part of my dinner... The baked potato, which was unfortunately cooked in foil, managed to be more bland and flavorless than any baked potato ought to be. I don't know how that happens. I LOVE simple baked potatoes. Just rubbed in oil and salt and then topped only with butter and s&p and maybe a little scallion or cheese sometimes. But this potato managed to be disappointing. The lobster tail is a woeful tale, and I am sorry that creature died for this. It was frozen. The shell was brittle and splintery. The flesh was over cooked to the rubbery end of difficult to cut with my steak knife. It was topped with clarified butter, which seemed to have been made with salted butter. The sodium concentration was bitterly offensive. (Note to chef: clarified butter should only be made with unsalted butter because the clarification process concentrates the fats, so as water is removed, salt also becomes concentrated.) I didn't finish a single thing, but I did bring the steak home to fix up and add to an omelet for breakfast and a quesadilla for lunch. All this said, I realized complaining wouldn't get me far by watching the tables around me, and I also really hate it that servers catch all the negativity for things outside their control. I paid my bill, and I tipped my server generously along with a note thanking her for doing HER best. I hope I go try a burger and fries and then return here to update this and add a couple more stars.

    LeRoy: I had the special of the night-chicken, bacon, broccoli mac and cheese. It was a huge portion. Along with it came a delicious coleslaw That was very tasty. I feel like the meal in and of itself was a good meal, but all the meat was hidden by cheese so I didn't know where to stab to get the meat, but other than that, it was a good meal. Katie: I had the smothered chicken, but instead of rice, I got mixed veggies. The chicken came out with two large breasts so I got some leftovers. The flavor was good and it had mushrooms, so of course I loved it. The veggies were steamed, so they weren't anything special. The decor in here is so cool-I feel like I'm in an old castle. It was a little loud and crowded, but overall a good experience! Caitlin: Enjoying the sunshine state for us but probably would have tried one of their burgers!

    I ordered the Monte Cristo (which I do everywhere it's available) and it was the worst I've had to date. Not horrible just basically a heavy loaded ham and cheese sandwich. We had to ask for the sauce which was just jelly packets. Fries were alright, crispy like we asked. My boyfriend had a burger that he liked. The waitress was friendly and honest about the menu (that the chicken tenders were frozen from a box). But the crowd was clearly locals who were loud and drunk... couldn't hear my bf. Overall unimpressed. I wouldn't come back.

    A view from the bar...it's nice here!

    The food here was delicious, the service came with a smile, there's plenty of parking, in the decor…read moreinside is so eclectic and cute. They have a lot of very fresh food that reminds you of what your grandmother might have made. There's board games if you just want to sit and hang out and have a coffee. My friend had a beautiful salad and I had a great grilled cheese with bacon and Brie. It was delicious. I believe everything is local. I had a corn soup as well which had big chunks of potatoes a tasty broth and lots of corn. I definitely plan to go back here. They have breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. There's a bar inside with plenty of seating. Definitely check them out. They are kind of hidden behind the McDonald's but you'll see a sign out front for them.

    Great service and food!…read more It was our first time here since we're from out of state. We found it from a brunch search in Google. It's a little hidden since it's in the back of the plaza. There's plenty of parking and even though it's a small location we were quickly seated at the bar. Everyone was friendly and very attentive. For breakfast I had the two friend eggs with home fries and fresh fruit (blueberries, 2 juicy cherries, and grapes). The person I went with got the dilemma which has French toast, two eggs and bacon. He asked for his eggs to be runny I asked for over hard and they were both perfectly cooked. I wish this place was a local restaurant for us, we really enjoyed it and the service was top notch. I just wish I had gotten our waitress' name, she went the extra mile for us. We were curious about the iron fish liqueur and she took the time to tell us about.

    Went here for the first time with my daughters. When it was time to pay, I wasn't given a printed…read morereceipt--just a handheld device. I tipped $15, only to later realize I was also charged an additional 18% gratuity. I don't have an issue with gratuity being added, but it should be clearly stated on the menu or disclosed up front. As I was leaving, I noticed a chalkboard near the door that said gratuity is added after 9:00 PM. It was only 8:30 PM, so I went back inside to question the charge. The waitress told me the gratuity was added because the bill was over $100. That policy was not posted anywhere on the menu or on the chalkboard. As a result, the server was tipped twice. This lack of transparency is unacceptable, and I will not be returning.

It was clean, the beer was nice and cold, and the potato skins were good, but after one round we left. No drink list, no specials, no happy hour. There was one server for the whole place and she was busy. She cashed us out, and not one of the three new servers on the next shift came around (not even looked at us) for us to get another round or asked if we wanted food. It smelled like weed, so after waiting 15 minutes with empty glasses and mugs, we left to go to the burger bar down the street. Disappointed.
