    Drake Maye inspired Super Bowl drink
    Christina S.

    Went on a Sunday for brunch solo and easily sat at the bar! They had a patriots inspired drink for the superbowl and I thought it was really good! It had curaçao, rum and pineapple juice! Their corn beef hash isn't traditional but was still salty and flavorful and I really enjoyed the Monte madame! It had super small cubes of ham and the cheese sauce with the bread was so yummy! I do wish it was a little bigger but still really good!

    Chicken & Waffles

    Food was delicious. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals. I had the chicken and waffles and enjoyed it.

    Best breakfast ever!

    Breakfast street tacos
    Jaya V.

    This place is amazing! The food is so good I didn't know what to get and I was choosing between two things and the waitress recommended the street tacos and they were so good. And the flight mimosas were amazing. I can't wait to go back. The ambiance of this place is amazing cool things on the wall very one working there is very nice and friendly

    10/10 Recommendation Service. Presentation. Cleanliness. Friendliness. Check them out y'all. Everything was delicious!

    Bowl

    Pretty good food here. Service was great and attentive. Parking lot can get packed. We came here for lunch so it wasn't busy. The drinks for the flights are premade so it's not freshly done but overall it wasn't bad. I just think it's pricy we asked for just extra sriracha sauce and that was an extra charge. The portion size wasn't bad. I just think it's a little too pricy for a chain restaurant.

    Service! 3 of us sat at the bar for breakfast last week. There were only 2 other people there but the waitress spent a lot of time chatting with other staff instead of working. We ordered and one order came out wrong. The bar waitress looked at her slip and said "oops my bad". They were pretty quick to replace it with the correct order. Food quality. Scant potatoes, barely any fruit (which was a substitute for home fries and an upcharge), breakfast sandwich was not hot. Btw, $17 for a simple bacon egg cheese sandwich. When we paid there was a $3 upcharge for some jelly that we never received. Again, waitress looked at her notes and said "my bad". Yup. Your bad. We've established that. Came to $70 for 3 not-fancy breakfasts, 2 coffees, no alcohol. The menu has also been reduced with many favorites removed and they won't make them.(yes-I asked) Wont be back unfortunately.

    Breakfast

    I had breakfast with my 5 year old nephew here today and we had the best sever I have had in such a long time, Reggie. Thank you for being amazing!! She was so friendly and silly with him and we had a wonderful time because of her! Thank you!!

    Tiny portions of poorly cooked food with indifferent service and high prices. Need I say more? Avoid at all costs.

What we found to be a bit uninspiring where the suggestions offered as their most popular dishes. Often times you ask the server for suggestions. Though I wasn't planning on getting a burger it did come highly recommended. So I went with the Shed burger. The burger is pretty large and it comes loaded with toppings. It comes with red pastrami, caramelized onions cheese, and mustard on a roll. What it seemed to be was a frozen patty that was thrown on the grill. I might not be so critical if they didn't make that big of a deal out of it. Fairly tasteless and not juicy at all. Other recommendations we tried as well none of which were highly liked.

You sit there for 30 minutes and you lose your appetite, causing the restaurant to lose money. Watched multiple people walk in and directly back out even with ample bar space. The food is some of the best I've had at the chain. Love the wings, feta dip, general tsos chicken, and burgers! Drinks and friendly conversation with bartenders is amazing! If you don't make a reservation, don't bother sitting anywhere but the bar. They have 6 hostesses on a given night and not a single one will greet you or act professional. Can't get an accurate wait time aside from "X number of people ahead of you". No communication that upper and lower level seating waits are different. At the end of the day, come here for the bar and decent food. Don't expect air conditioning or appropriate management.

The place has the feel of a local neighborhood pub which has finished wood walls, flooring, & ceiling. There is seating at the full service bar, table seating along the walls, pool table in the back, a musician/karaoke stage in the front corner and TVs throughout the room. There is a patio area out back. They offer nightly entertainment such as DJs, karaoke (Tue), trivia (Wed), and live music. The food menu offers pub fare including appetizers, wings, chips & dips, salads, burger/sandwich plates, quesadillas, tacos, chicken & waffles, pasta, steaks, and desserts. The prices are moderate. The bar offers 12 beers on draft, beer bottles/cans, wine, cocktails & mixed drinks. I stopped by Fonzi's for dinner very recently. I sat up at the bar for prompt service. I got an ice water as I looked over the menu. For an appetizer, the Fried Raviolis ($12 plus tax) had 6 good size fried breaded raviolis filled with cheese including ricotta & seasoning) over a zesty marinara sauce. For dinner, the Basic Bit*h Burger ($18 plus tax) had a thick grilled beef patty with melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, & pickle chips on a thick kaiser bun. The fries were lightly fried and very hot. Both the fried raviolis and thick juicy burger were very good and fries were decent. After I was done, I got the check with Upserve QR code, which was $32.10 with tax and before tip. I was able to pay the check on my phone, as the place was getting busier around 6:30 pm. The service was prompt sitting at the bar and I was able to watch some sports highlights on the TV. I would definitely come back here to try other food on their menu like the coconut shrimp, tacos, and cheese tortellini gratinati with chicken.
