Super fresh, crispy crust, exactly what you want. And the drinks did not disappoint either, the IPA and the cider were both excellent. Would come back for those alone. The chicken sandwiches were where things fell apart. We ordered five across the spicy and regular, and every single one felt undercooked. It was also a letdown that they had no fries to go with them, which is an inseparable combo in my opinion. So, great spot for pizza and drinks, but I'd skip the chicken

We bought candy, soda, and popcorn and between the tickets and that we still got out of there for less than two tickets and popcorn alone at other cinemas. It's a smaller theater but it's great quality. We would love to return here!!!

Group of 20+ of us decided to walk over after dinner. They had a 10 ticket special which usually is used for a max of 4 tickets at a time but he made an exception for us since we had such a big group. We all made sure to get some snacks cause and was nice to support a small local business. They do a good job to utilize the space they have with some regular seats and some recliner seats. Also you pick your seat when you come in. No worrying about will I be able to sit with the rest of my party. PS cocaine bear was hysterical

We went on the guided tour and were really impressed. The 90-minute tour took us through the…read moreprogression of the settlement, starting with the wigwam to acknowledge the Native Americans present in the area before the colonists, as well as, trading the land for the Huguenots to settle there. We were then guided to the first home and then through the additions of rooms each added as the families grew and the settlement matured. The finale of this house was in the cellar which were the slaves quarters. I saw a slave collar for the first time and had to imagine them cooking, eating, and sleeping in stooped confines under the house. We then went to the reconstructed church, where the church pews faced each other, and there were no crucifixes save for the engraved one on the pulpit. Our tour group was small so we ended up discussing Calvinism and their beliefs, what they were seeking in the new land and the hypocrisy of owning slaves yet they were religious refugees. The tour ended in the Victorian house which was the newest and most modern historic home. Each room had been preserved in a certain era's fashion and decor; I got a real kick out of the 1960's themed kitchen with its electric sink, a precursor to the modern dishwasher. Of course the ornate woodwork and bedroom canopies, coupled with plush carpets and elegant china and crystal table settings gives one a simultaneous impression of wealth, decadence, and awe, since some of luxuries then are still considered luxuries today. The bust of President Lincoln as a greek statue gave me a good cackle--it was borne out of a time when the house occupants were longing for stability and leadership of times past. It was so fascinating to hear about the settlers and their lives and see artifacts from different eras. All the buildings except the wigwam were surprisingly cool despite no air conditioning, due to their thick walls and good design to circulate air. We all were reluctant to change buildings during the tour since it meant leaving the cool homes and entering the heat. For $15, this is a thoroughly enjoyable and educational tour. Our guide knew a great deal and handled our non sequitur questions with grace. Highly recommended.
