Leashed and friendly pups are welcome both on the beautifully decorated outdoor tiki patio and inside the restaurant. With an American‑style menu in a fun sports bar setting, this spot is perfect for game days, casual hangs, and year‑round good times. The fried green beans are a must‑order, and the mango margarita brings the perfect spicy kick. Huge shoutout to Kevin (manager) and Nicole (our server) for the amazing service and great conversation! If you are looking for a place to watch sports, enjoy delicious food, and bring your pup along, this is it. They also have a front store with package goods, which is super convenient. Thanks to our follower Wendy (Mom to pups Kylie & Kevin) for the awesome recommendation!

We walked in the front door and immediately you see a liquor store and in the back is a huge restaurant. It was so crowded that we ate outside, which I believe was actually better both since the weather was nice and not as crowded. The price of food here is really reasonable. This watering hole is a real plus to the locals. Elise was our server. Very friendly. Excellent food, large menu for every type of diner. I believe they even serve late breakfast because they open up at 10 AM. Check it out. Not the easiest place to find when you're on the highway 37 E.

We started with and order of Mussels Fra Diavolo (spicy) to share and they were terrific - meaty, tasty with plenty to share. Drinks consisted of Red Sangria, Drop Top IPA, Canyon Road Merlot, J Lohr Cab and Kane Port Omna. They have a good beer selection and wines are okay. Their Special menu for St Patrick's Day is quite nice. My wife went for Fish and Chips, and we also ordered two Corned Beef Reubens and a 14oz Ribeye. All were really good along with some hot, crispy fries. We chose to share a dessert (because we could) and the Grannies Hot Apple Cobbler was perfect. Our server, Jason, couldn't have been nicer. He was attentive and quick to handle any requests that we had. The place is tastefully decorated with nice lighting and appropriate posters.

There was almost nothing for me to order there, I really wanted to try their Gouda mac & cheese when I got it. It was so spicy. I could barely eat it. It was almost like there was a taco spice pack in the cheese sauce I mentioned it to a server. The manager walked over and told me that he would take 30% off the check which I did not ask for. I said could I just mention a few things to you and he said he did not want to talk to me and walked away. His name was Sean. I paid the money even though I couldn't eat the product. They had a Greek salad option for $18 but it had lamb on it. They could've offered the same salad without the lamb for $14 and then offered lamb or chicken on it for four dollars more they had a quesadilla, but it had chicken and bacon in it. They could've offered it plain with some grilled veggies and then if you wanted to add chicken to what you could have, people seemed very happy with the burgers there, but there was no veggie burger or turkey burger option. I might go back for the music at some point.

We opted to go for lunch and as well rolled up 1:30 on a Sunday people were waiting outside to be seated. Uh-oh, Wife goes in to check wait time, I wait outside and a patron who just finished her meal looks at me and says "it's worth the wait!", and it's says "wanna sit at the counter?, no wait!" Yup I do. I enter. Cute little old school local spot. Love it. We sit, get menus and drinks. Look around. Old and homey, awesome. Lots of home style grub available. I order French dip, wife gets the pot roast. Food comes out, nice l sized portions. Delicious. Were initially bothered watched Sandy (we believe) verbally beat up one of the workers. A younger guy with a pony tail. We're thinking "what a B----, poor kid", and hen she grabs him and starts joking with him. She looks over with a smile and says, "don't worry, he's my grandson" oh yeah Sandy, kick his ass. That's a whole different story. Teach that boy how it's done. Great experience, our first visit and we felt like we were home.

Everything was amazing ... the ambiance, the service, the food, the vibe!…read more I was planning a birthday dinner in NJ from another state and randomly found this restaurant while searching the web. This was definitely one of my best finds. The entire experience was delightful. The person who handled the reservation was knowledgeable and gave me a lot of useful information up front. They sent reminders for the reservation in the interim. And, on the day of the dinner, they sent a text notification to alert me that our table was ready (ahead of the reservation time). Upon arriving, I knew this was a special and unique establishment. The grounds and the building were the first hint that we were about to be delighted. Inside, was bursting with fun , eclectic, rustic charm. Upon entering, the hostess was already prepared to greet us and the staff was very attentive. I had made prior arrangements for them to hold the birthday cake. Our server was friendly and professional; he immediately introduced himself by name and took good care of our group all evening. The water was dutifully filled, the courses were served and cleared efficiently and expediently ... and then the coup de grâce. We had brought in a grocery store chocolate cake. I had merely expected them to bring it to the table. However, they brought it out with lit candles, so that we could sing happy birthday. And then quickly whisked it back into the kitchen, where they sliced and plated it for us and added whipped cream, ganache, and a white chocolate & raspberry drizzle to garnish the plate. It was one of the best dining experiences I have had.

Held every Friday from 3-6 PM, this tail-wagging idea comes courtesy of their fantastic bar manager, Matt. Set on the patio garden bar outside the picturesque historic farmhouse, the event features happy hour specials for both humans and their four-legged companions. Pet parents can indulge in fine American cuisine and drink specials, while pups get their own Bark Bites menu, offering a burger patty or chicken breast served with rice and carrots, available in half or full portions. There are even hydration bowls with fruit-infused water to keep the pups cool and refreshed. Leashed and friendly dogs are always welcome to dine outdoors overlooking the beautiful property. We spotted plenty of well-behaved pups, including Blue, Mikey, Velvet, and Zarra. All in all, it was a perfect night out at this beloved local spot.

We were originally given the higher-priced menu. Only after I questioned the price difference did the bartender bring us another paper menu with lower prices. At that point, we literally had two different menus with two different prices sitting in front of us. That made the whole experience feel extremely untrustworthy. I hate to even wonder whether we were given a different menu because we're Asian, but honestly, the situation was uncomfortable enough that the thought crossed my mind. Customers should never be put in a position where they have to wonder something like that. We kept our order simple, didn't order any drinks, and left. Maybe there is an innocent explanation, but having two different in-house menus with different prices is simply unacceptable to me. Check the prices carefully before you order.

I went with clam spinach dip as an app which was 10/10 for me. Ordered a burger that came on a kaiser roll which also was good but nothing that wow'd, and a beef rib grilled cheese which i will say was really good and a savored every bite! They have to promote some of these best items more!!!! On my overall experience i had a good time , almost gave it 4 stars because the booths are awkwardly set up and you are an inch away from other people seating next to you inside the restaurant almost butting heads.... But the food items were worth the stars
