The Cheese curds were good as always, but I do feel like I need to drop them a star year over year…read more The waitress informed me that they got a new Chef, which unfortunately leads to the disappearance of a few of my favorite items from the menu, including the Buffalo Chicken flatbread and Chicken bacon ranch flatbread. I tried the stag burger this time around though, and it was quite delicious! I was not so impressed with the Margarita pizza that my wife shared with me though. Unfortunately this Friday evening out on the patio they had a DJ doing some music. The volume level was appropriate for dinner, but it got a bit too heavy with club vibes as dinner progressed, which surprisingly, being The Chainsmokers fan that I am, I did not find myself appreciating. This place overall still has my recommendation, but I left a little bit let down compared to past experiences.

Good service - felt like an upper class kind of place with specials and great knowledge of the menu. I'd have to say mediocre food. Focaccia excellent 10/10 Calamari ok - I'm a spicy guy but too spicey 5/10 Thai brussel sprouts - amazing 8/10 scallops meal - tasty but small, not enough for a meal 7/10 BBQ salmon - very nicely done, tasty Side of gouda potatoes was great - crispy outside, clear cheese flavor - very nice bang bang shrimp tacos - not good - avoid Overall, good place to boat into but wouldn't drive here for the quality vs price.

The blue cheese dressing on the salad was great! We liked the pulled pork sandwich however it kind of lacked flavor. It needed more salt or something.

Thankfully we arrived right in front of a rush and only waited 5 minutes before being escorted upstairs to a fairly isolated table. The ambience is old-school-diner and the service is back-to-basics. No overwhelming friendliness or chatty interchanges. They all just keep moving, working and trying to keep up. It's not a big restaurant, even with the upstairs seating -- maybe 25-30 patrons per level and I counted at least 9 employees. That's a high ratio. That said, service was slow. We waited longer than I would have expected to have our order taken (10+ minutes), but that's really my only gripe. It's not enough to lose a star though -- and like I said, it's all worth the wait. The food is incredible. That's why you are here. The serving sizes are generous. The food comes out hot. And the flavors are excellent. I enjoyed a corned beef and hash -- substituting the country potatoes for crispy hashbrowns, topped with scrambled eggs and my date enjoyed a kitchen sink omelette with hashbrowns. We both LOVED our choices and I'll just highlight -- the corned beef is slow cooked (8 hours) and chunky. It's incredible. We talked about how we needed to bring our family and friends to the little gem of a diner.

The burrito came out cut in half and resembled a chicken wrap sandwich. Flavorless and certain pieces of the chicken had hard/rubbery fragments in it. Missing items in the burrito which were listed on the menu. We each ate about 5 bites and decided we couldn't eat anymore. Resolution: we didn't ask for anything; just communicated that it wasn't a burrito and wasn't very good. The almost full plates probably gave that away as well. The server brought (2) drink tickets for a future visit. Recommendation: if you're going to have a section on your menu highlighting Mexican Cuisine. Someone needs to do a taste test on these items.

My MIL is in a wheelchair so it was wonderful that they had a single accessible bathroom. We ordered the blueberry pancakes. The menu said $14. We didn't realize it while there, we were charged $16 with extra for blueberries so we missed something on the menu apparently. That price is outrageous for pancakes. We had the strawberry cream cheese French toast. Great flavor. It came fairly cold unfortunately. Would totally get again though. We also had the Smokin Hash w/ Brisket. Big portion. Flavorful. Lots of smoke in it. Not much queso at all, if any. Next door the same owner also owns a cool looking BBQ joint that we can't wait to try. I realize this is only a 3 star, but the menu is fabulous, location is great and service was wonderful.

Serving brunch 4 days a week in the old Buddy Boy building…read more We stopped in on a Thursday morning and were seated at the breakfast bar. I enjoyed the clean aesthetic they did to the building while keeping the refurbished seating from before. The staff was all kind of running around and didn't seem to communicate well, often food was sitting in the window and as a prior server, all I could think was "it's going to die". It seems they would benefit from having a FOH lead or hostess who also did bussing and other support staff duties. We ordered the Breakfast Burrito w/ brisket and the House Breakfast w/ brisket. The burrito lacked flavor and essentially was a giant burrito loaded with potatoes, a lil' egg and some chopped up brisket. For the house breakfast, the hashbrowns were crispy with perfectly basted eggs. Unfortunately, the brisket was some of the worst we've had and that was such a letdown since they are affiliated with Buddy Boy, and we've had amazing food from them in the past. The syrup for the pancake was the star of the meal. It was like a chocolate- caramel syrup that I could have dreamed up about several dishes for.
