    Crazy high bill
    Lexi P.

    The service was great, but the food was meh. It was greasy (not in a good way), the bacon was both undercooked and greasy, the fries were cold and overcooked, and it just wasn't good. For what you get, it's way overpriced. Honestly, I don't mind for the fact that it's helping a small, local business, but probably wouldn't recommend it. Definitely wouldn't go back. Also, no kids menu, such means I'm paying adult prices for my kid to eat half a chicken strip and four fries. Overall, not worth it. Again, service was good! I appreciated the nice waitress and the clean restaurant! $74 (over $80 with tip) for a sub par lunch doesn't sit well with me.

    My Manhattan was pretty good; however, not sure why there was an orange slice in it. My wife ordered chicken noodle soup, mom a Ruben, and I their Naked in the Park. The soup reminded me of shredded chicken breast, noodles, and Swanson Broth. No other flavorings. No onions, celery, carrots...nothing. My Naked in the Park was good, but seriously lacking seasoning. Mom's Ruben was great. Service was great, our server came round a few times checking on us and made another Manhattan for me. Not sure why there was an orange slice in each of my Manhattans when the standard garnish is a cherry. I know the construction has hampered some businesses. There was only one other table occupied and a couple bar stools when we arrived at 1530.

    I truly enjoyed their Reuben Burger. It was hot, fresh and loaded with flavor. The server was pleasant and attentive.

My friends and I were in…read moretown for the Shawshank Hustle and chose this place because it looked lime it would accommodate for our different tastes. It was a lot smaller inside than we expected but it was nice. We were seated quickly but it took a bit for our server to come. We finally ordered ( nothing crazy - we all got sandwiches). Then it felt like our server just disappeared. One of the other servers heard us talking while she was servicing her table and told us that they had some event going on outside so food was taking longer to come out. No update from our own server. I had to ask ther other server for another drink. It was kind of irritating to see tables that came in after us getting their food before us. Now onto the food - it was pretty good. We all enjoyed our sandwiches. I got a reuben with fries. The rye bread on my reuben was nice - crispy crust yet soft. Very good ratio of meat to saukraut. The fries were eh. Very limp with no crispy at all. I've honestly gotten better fries off a food truck. They look crispy in the photo but they were not. So overall- drink was good, sandwich was delicious but fries were not and service was not good at all.

It came with bacon, cheese and a fried egg. He loved it! Fries were seasoned just right but we are not fans of shoestring fries. They make their own potato chips and probably should have had those. We'll be back on our next trip.

They provide customized menus as a special touch. As there are three selections on four on the courses, the dishes do not appear to be as customized for those with dietary issues. Jamie was our primary server providing a friendly and professional service. For my order, Three of us started with the Crostini while my wife had the Pave. I really liked the flavors of the Crostini, scrumptious! I had a bite of my wife's Pave and thought the texture and tastes superb! Preparing for the second and further courses was my a put off! We were asked to keep our utensils for the future courses! Nothing like dirty silverware sitting on the table dirtying up the area! At this price point, used silverware should be taken and replaced with new! That is the reason for my 4 of 5 stars. We experienced the same during our first visit two years ago and had hope it was resolved after mentioning to staff. That said, it was the only put off of our experience. For the second course my sister and I decided on the Scallop Arancini while my wife and mom went for the Zuppa Toscano. Again, the Scallop Arancini was amazing and scrumptious! The flavors were terrific! I tried a few spoonfuls of the Zuppa Toscano and thought it missing seasoning. The third found 3 of us ordering the Salmon Oscar while my wife ordered the Grilled Cheese. The salmon was rare, which I particularly like but the crab was cold. My preference would have been warm war with a bit of the béarnaise on top. My wife's Grilled Cheese was very tasty with the preserves but looked lonely sitting on the plate. For the last course three of us decided on the Pumpkin Crepe and my wife the Apple Spice Cake. I thought the Pumpkin Crepe to be a lovey presentation and very tasty and my wife enjoyed the spice cake. All in all a lovely experience overall! Thank you!
