I have driven by this place to get to Target and Marshalls so many times, but it always seemed so…read morepacked I never really wanted to bother to stop. I did see they allow you to make reservations on Open Table, so I booked it for a weekday to try it out. It wasn't nearly as busy as the parking lot looked, there was plenty of seating. It was a nice day so they had the windows open and they also had someone playing live music so it was a tad loud but, not overly loud where you can't hear your conversation. The menu is not your typical menu, it's very crafty if that's a word. The service was very good, and she explained the menu well and we took her up on her recommendations. Turkey pastrami which I had never had before. It tastes really fresh and felt healthy. The salad comes in a little small bowl but full of goodness. It's a really nice place for a girls night out, or a family dinner. Wouldn't consider it a good place for date night as it is pretty loud.

We were up this way for another Yelp event and decided to give them a try. Wow why haven't we been…read morehere sooner. I really wish they had a location on the south side. Upon entering I noticed how cute the decor was and how open it was. The kitchen is even behind glass so you can see most of it from your table. This place would be awesome for groups. The servers wear whatever makes them comfortable and fits their style which is a nice touch to the theme. But where the home runs were was the food. We had a hard time deciding on an appetizer as they all sounded so good. We went with the wagyu pigs in a blanket. They are cooked perfectly and seasoned well and juicy. I got the chicken katsu sandwich on Japanese milk bread and o my gosh it was so flavorful and I like anything else you can find around. The breading is light and not overly crunchy. I still think about that sandwich. Hubby ordered the short ribs and he said they were flavorful and tender and juicy. I can't express how amazing the food is here. You just have to give it a try. It's worth it.

Big Lug Canteen delivers a memorable meal from start to finish -- friendly, unpretentious service,…read morea warm neighborhood vibe, and two standout dishes that I'll be ordering again. The Brussels sprouts are an absolute triumph: perfectly blistered with a caramelized exterior and tender interior, dressed in a harmonious balance of bright acidity and savory depth. Little crunchy bits and a subtle smoky char add texture, while a finishing sprinkle (and a hint of something sweet-salty) elevates them from simple side to a show-stealer. The Korean salmon is equally impressive. The fish arrives flaky and moist with a richly glazed crust that carries sweet, spicy, and umami notes in perfect proportion. Layers of flavor -- gochujang-forward heat, sesame brightness, and a touch of citrus -- play against the salmon's natural richness without overpowering it. It's plated thoughtfully, with complementary sides that keep each bite balanced. If you're at Big Lug Canteen, don't pass up those two dishes -- they demonstrate skilled technique, bold yet nuanced seasoning, and a real sense of care in the kitchen. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, solid value. Highly recommended.

My friend and I needed last minute Halloween plans. After scouring Facebook events, we saw…read moreMashcraft was having Halloween trivia. I haven't had the chance to dine here before, but drive past it often. Service was top notch from the moment we walked in. Our server was so friendly, welcoming and eager to ensure we had a wonderful time. The menu isn't huge, but they have a lot of unique items. The chicken sandwich I had was delicious, but it was a bit messy. My friend also enjoyed her burger which was the special of the month. We ordered the special drink from Halloween, and it was tasty. I did think $10 was a bit high for what was essentially a vodka and sprite. Trivia was also a blast. They had cute prizes for the holiday and we even ended up winning a gift card. Not bad for free trivia. The host did a great job and made everyone feel welcome. The pickleball court also looked fun if the weather was nicer. Can't wait to come back.

Ordered the hand breaded chicken tenders with French fries and house made mash potatoes with country gravy!!! Normally I am not a fan of potatoes where the skin and all are included but let me say these were DELICIOUS!!!! The chicken was perfectly cooked to a golden brown and house made dipping sauces were delicious as well. the seating is beautiful wood seats throughout!! The restroom was clean and stocked. Definitely save room for the key lime pie as it tasted like key west on a plate. Highly recommended and worth the drive from Avon!

The booths are pretty small ... kind of a tight squeeze for 4 people. We were greeted quickly. The waiter brought our drinks quickly and then we ordered right away, some of us choosing old favorites like pasta RIGATONI BOLOGNESE, yummy CHICKEN PICCATA... i think my bro gets the same thing every week! Both my sis and I ordered a salad with chicken, pineapple, strawberry (1), and.... amazingly delicious figs ... it's my new favorite called WALTS CHAMPAGNE CHICKEN SALAD. Service was good until the refill coke was handed over the back of the booth, and never noticed that it spilled immediately. (Waiter was long gone as we cleaned up the little spills. ... oops) Prices are pricey but food is delicious. I don't go often because it's too rich for me without a special occasion. The location isn't bad; driving in from the east side it's got a weird way of entering the parking lot next to the bank. There aren't a lot of other places to eat nearby so this works for us! We will certainly be back!

The only thing I did not like as much was the chicken, it was a bit on the drier side but everything else was good. My favorite was the salmon topped with crab cakes, the bananas foster French toast, and the omelette I made. Teresa was AMAZING! Not only did she go out of her way to get us the type of coffee we wanted, she checked on us frequently and always made sure we were good! I would love to try their menu on a non-holiday set up so I will certainly be returning.

The service was fantastic! Our waitress was attentive and funny too! She checked on us various times and even joined in singing a bit when we were jamming out to the Avril Lavigne song that was playing LOL District tap is always a cool and casual vibe.

Tots & Paws raised over $1,000 at the door and collected more than 300 toys. Cash bar was available as well as complementary hors d'oeuvres.
