They serve gluten free pizza and it truly was probably the worst gf crust I've ever had at a restaurant. It was basically a burnt cracker. I've eaten here before and the food is usually good. Something has changed recently.

Tonight my husband had a flank steak with mashed potatoes and root vegetable medley. I had the lamb lollipops, tabbouleh, and warm naan with a smokey Hays & Ember cocktail. Just the quality and food drink I wanted at the end of a long 2-week stretch at work. Our server was bubbly and helpful. And my Elder Millennial heart was happy to hear the 90s alternative music soundtrack. The gas fireplace added ambience on a rainy evening. Parking is tight, but I managed to snag the last spot in the lot behind the building. There is also street parking.

Seamless to get an early 5:30 reservation for a party of eight with no wait when we arrived. Plenty of overflow parking in the movie theater lot. The place was definitely crowded on a Friday evening, but our service was fast enough and they provided lots of coloring items for the kids. The kids menu is also good; my daughter enjoyed mac and cheese, which came with a large number of chips. Her friend got two mini burgers, which was actually a very big portion. Adults enjoyed their food too. My wife got the Triple B bison/bacon burger, which was hefty. I got an impossible burger (very good!) with a side salad. Just like my last review, I was pleasantly surprised at how substantial the salad was. Consistency is a plus I guess.

The server was very friendly and patient with us as we made up our minds. Luckily it was late in the evening on a weekday so it was slow, thus we got our food pretty fast. I would return again if I were in the area.

However, we came in a couple days ago for some breakfast before we did our errands and that was the last time. Its a small place so you can hear everything. The owner or manager was sitting at the bar visibly angry. Cussing very loud and making a fuss about potatoes and the employees. At one point kicking a metal bowl across the floor. Made my wife uncomfortable. Obviously wildly inappropriate. Theres no excuse for that nonsense. If you want to have a hissy fit cause your are having a bad day, go in the back away from paying customers. One person got you one star. And you deserve it for cussing like that loudly in front of my kids. We wont be back.

The front of the house lady was pretty busy, wearing all the hats: host, bartender, server. And she did a great job running from the patio, to the tables inside. The food was delicious! We had the smoked cheese crab dip that was served with pita. There was not a drop left in our dish. We got a couple apps and then for our entrees, we got the stuffed salmon, filet and fish sandwich. Everything was great! The prices are very reasonable on the menu for both the drinks and the food.

Better than it had any right to be. This is essentially an unassuming dive bar deep in Homestead…read more Somehow, it is also an excellent Middle Eastern restaurant. Not everything was fantastic, but the overall quality of the food items we ordered was well beyond expectations. We ordered takeout, and our order was ready at the expected time. The only comment I'll make on online ordering is that the first available pick-up slot was about an hour after we placed our order. Plan accordingly. In terms of the food, we were generally impressed. The falafel plate was generally good, but not fantastic. The falafel was a little doughy and lacking in crunch or herb content. The pickled beets on the platter were a very nice addition. So a mixed bag. The mujaddara was excellent, with nicely caramelized onions. The musabaha was interesting and flavorful, but it didn't seem to survive the drive home particularly well. The fatoosh salad was good, with extremely crispy pita chips. That having been said, the lettuce was starting to wilt by the time it got home. Possibly unavoidable. The hummus was excellent, and the spinach and feta pie was fantastic. So generally good food, with a relatively small number of minor misses. Overall, this is a reasonable takeout operation. There were a handful of people enjoying the bar when we picked up our order, but I'm not sure I would opt for using the space as a drinking destination.

The server was really nice and our drinks were really good, I got some sort of lavender gin beverage that was delicious, but the food was lackluster.

The service was swift, but beware, even thought it says they are a taco joint everywhere--they aren't anymore and just didn't bother to rebrand, change signs or even the servers shirts lol. We got the 1 taco dish on the menu, which was chicken tinga tacos. They were underwhelming at best. We got a side of ceasar salad instead of fries and it was basically just dressing. Also got the buffalo chicken wings which were pretty good, but a tad overcooked. The atmosphere was a lot of fun since there was playoff football going on. Overall, I'd return for drinks but the food is only alright so stick to an app if you need a bite.

We showed up for a Saturday lunch ahead of a snow storm, and the overall experience was good. The staff were friendly. There were clearly some number of regulars around. The space is a bit old and drafty, but that just adds a level of character. In terms of the food, we ordered a few salads and a half reuben (part of the lunch special), plus an Italian flatbread. Nothing was exceptional, but everything was nicely prepared and presented. The vegetables in the salad were fresh and crisp. The flatbread was good but not particularly noteworthy. My partner liked the rueben, but thought it could use a little more sauerkraut. The Guinness was fresh and nicely poured. All told, this was a good experience. Understand that this is more of a neighborhood hang than a destination, but it excels at filling that role.
