After the big St. Patrick's Day Race, we stopped in after Yelp suggested this was both on our way home AND a better bet than the food trucks. We were surprised that parking was a breeze, with multiple entrances. The seating os designed to fit couples or larger groups comfortably, and you can tell the local love to sit around the long bar and chat. We loved our booth! The staff was quick, knew a lot about the different food options, and cocktail selection and beer selection was great. We chose a different cocktail from the list, and shared a bunch of appetizers. The sprouts were good, and the wings were tasty. I think the only thing that got a "nah" was the crab cake. I definitely have it on my list to go back for a meal, noting several dinner specials that met my creative palette.

Upon arrival, we were greeted and seated in the bar area, which features a long bar and high-top tables. They have a solid selection of beer and alcohol. We started with the chili, topped with cheese and served with chips for dipping--it was delicious. My wife ordered the turkey club, while I opted for the tomato bisque with a grilled cheese sandwich. She enjoyed her club, and I loved my grilled cheese; it was very cheesy and made with Texas toast. However, I found the bisque a bit too thick for my taste. The servers were friendly, and we'll definitely return. I learned that they have separate lunch and dinner menus--unfortunately, I didn't realize I was looking at the dinner menu when I saw the steak, which isn't available during lunch.

A bar n grill. Cozy home like vibe. I'm sure everyone knows each other. We got the ribs, lamp lollipops , burger and drinks! Fantastic flavors! My lamb was cooked great!

No such worries here, and I had a pleasant cup of creamy chowder with a hearty mix of clams and bite size potatoes. The main course was so savory.

While understaffed due to the greater-than-expected turnout on this beautiful summer Sunday evening, the attentiveness of our waitress and the wait for the food was better than expected. Best of all, the food that arrived had wonderful presentation and excellent taste. My cajun chicken Alfredo was perfectly cooked, with tender, grilled chicken, and the Alfredo sauce had the perfect consistency (neither pasty, nor runny). Everyone else in my party loved their food. And even my son's bolognese linguine "kids meal" was a real treat with an excellent red sauce (yes, I had to help myself to a few bites, after smelling it). All of the meals were served hot. The garlic bread that came with our meals was just right. Aside from the food, you can enjoy a fantastic view of Mt Tom and the Ledges golf course from the outdoor deck. I will definitely be going back!

The buffalo chicken nachos and wings were completely demolished at our table, and the bowl of chili was excellent, served with a generous side of tortilla chips.

Their chicken soup is always on point. This time my wife after a long day at work went for a BTL Deluxe and substuted the fries for a salad and cold slaw. The salad was that classic salad you grew up with. Lettuce chopped with carrots sticks, cherry tomatoes, red onion and radish. With a choice of dressings. I went for their Broasted chicken that's chicken fried in a pressure cooker. It's phenomenal. Broasted chicken never misses the mark.
