I went there with my parents the last time I visited. It's probably closer to a four-star for me,…read morebut it was the best place in town. I'm gluten free and the burger was good (the bun was great!), if ever-so-slightly too juicy. At first, the menu felt incomplete to me, only really having sandwiches. But the burger menu manages to feel special enough to justify this. The ambiance was delightful, but could use a little polish. They don't have good noise control because the hard ceilings and the hard floor reflect all the sound at the patrons. It's not terrible, but it's a detractor. The tables and booths are comfortable, but feel just a tad cheap. Not bad, but certainly room for improvement. And the back patio is a bit plain, you feel like you're missing out if you eat there. They should add some decorations, maybe a mural or something. The service was wonderful. It feels "Mom and Pop," but also like a well-oiled machine. It's close to being a landmark restaurant, but could use that final bit of attention to detail. So: not perfect, but the best place in town.

They do not toss their wings in sauce so you have to double dip/dunk to get the sauce and blue cheese in the same bite. Service was okay. The girl didn't introduce herself by name and the service was lack luster. Nothing special. The bar itself was nice. They did a great job decorating for St Pattys day. I'd go back out of convenience to the location of the hotel in staying but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I'd stay away from the wings too...

Great guy shortly after his wife stopped by and couldn't be more friendly. I can't say enough about this place. If you're in the area, it's a must see! I was in the area for a couple of days and tried to go back the next day, but it was Wall the wall packed so we moved onto another place that didn't nearly live up to this one.

I thought it was the restaurant that was featured on KCRG for their decorations. But boy was I glad I did. The place was decorated with all kinds of Christmas decorations like on the news and the place was festive. We had our best meal there we've had anywhere in a long time. This is a gem that needs to be upvoted. We ordered the $21 ribeye, thinking ya sure, ribeye for $21 where everywhere else is $30 to $40 dollars. It was delicious, perfectly done to my request, great sides of potatoes and zucchini and Chimichirri sauce. We also ordered the Asian Potsticker Salad. Again, just delicious. With two amber pints for happy hour we the best dinner in months. Help was exceptional and all employees looked to be very happy working there, I asked. Highly recommend, and we'll be going back to try all there other specialties.

Two weeks ago I ran into one of their regulars says he's there off the book security guard he told me they know they over serve her but she promises not to drive home goes out into the parking lot and leaves anyway and they still continue to serve her. I'm a bartender I can refuse service to anyone anytime for any reason if one of my regular kids came to me and said I need your help please don't serve my mom I'd cut him off and not even allow them back in the building and I've had it happen before. I work across the street from Roosevelt lots of alcoholics over there, there were a few that I won't even let in the bar because I know they have a problem and I'm not going to be a contributor. These people don't care about anything but their money, I've had a conversation with the owner he knows, he gave me some sob story 2 years ago about his mother being an alcoholic and he promised me that he would help me but guess what he didn't.
