Service has always been friendly for us if a little slow at times. Ask for a refill well in advance if needing it. They have different themed days like a west coast and a trivia night. The real standout here though is the food. I've enjoyed the turkey club a lot. The bacon jam is delicious. And generous portions of turkey, The pub fries are really tasty. The pork belly is to die for. The mushroom and Swiss is a favorite of my spouse. I also really enjoyed their brunch selections. The thick cut French toast is prepared perfectly and delicious. Even the everyday eggs and bacon were satisfying. I've also had their Detroit style pizzas and I'd honestly choose them over 90 percent of pizza places in the area. Give the Copper Boar an opportunity if you like elevated pub food. Especially during their brunch.

Quesa birria is generally quite delicious, and Rayo checked that box as well. I want to keep exploring the menu, but it can be hard when you start off with items that hit a high note from the start. Rayo has a done a good job repurposing the space, including using the room in the back for various events. Service has been solid and I'm happy to have another place to find a breakfast burrito in town!

But, more than once I've stopped in on my way to work to find a line of customers, a backlog of to go orders on the counter, and one poor person working there. A morning smoothie shouldn't require a 15 minute wait. I've decided I can only plan to stop when I remember to order ahead or I may not make it to work on time. I'm really hoping they're able get staffing figured out and I can come back to review because the food, and even quality of the staff they have, warrant 5 stars.

He was warm, engaging, funny, and made us feel completely at home. The food was delicious on its own, but somehow Chase's enthusiasm made everything taste even better! If you're nearby, stop in for a beer and a bite--and if you're lucky enough to have Chase as your server, you're in for an especially great experience. You won't be disappointed!
