Not sure they have it anymore, but I had a butternut squash pasta which was good. The food has been fresh and flavorful! I have dined here in-person a few times. It was good, but it got pretty loud in the restaurant and echoed quite a bit. So, I most often order to-go. I've usually had to wait additional time when picking up my order, exceeding the time that was quoted when it would be ready. Sometimes it's 10 to 15 minutes waiting. I do understand they're busy, but sometimes this can be a slight annoyance.

We came for dinner on a busy evening. The restaurant was fairly crowded, so I won't judge the…read moreservice based on this visit. I ordered the Chuck Eye French Dip with truffle fries. The truffle fries were excellent. It was crispy, well seasoned, and not greasy. They had a nice truffle flavor without being overpowering. Unfortunately, the French dip was disappointing. The bread was toasted to the point that it was hard, making the sandwich difficult to enjoy. More importantly, the beef was very sparse for a $28 sandwich. It was advertised as chuck eye, but the meat I received was very lean and dry, lacking the tenderness and richness I'd expect from that cut. Based on this meal, I wouldn't order the French dip again. The fries were the highlight of the plate, but the sandwich wasn't worth the price.

I was hooked from the first bite. And the Hurricanes? Of course they were dangerously good--no surprise there. Natalie, my waitress, was fantastic--attentive, fun, and just made the whole experience even better. I'm so glad they've added more staff because the vibe felt smoother all around. This was actually my first time coming in on a Friday evening, and wow... live music, great energy, and the owner making his rounds, chatting with everyone--he's awesome, by the way. You can tell he really cares about the place and the people in it. Safe to say, I'll definitely be making Friday nights a regular thing. Can't wait to be back.

I've always been curious about this spot with it being right along the downtown strip, so I was glad to have finally had an excuse to check them out. The vibes here are laidback and just my type. Not quite a dive bar, but also not stuffy and upscale. A fine neutral. Loved the aesthetic with all the wood and low lighting too! Came here during lunchtime and their menu has a lot of tasty sounding options. I ended up going with a Club sandwich sans tomato with a side salad. When the food came out I was shocked - the sandwich is a hefty serving and cut in half, and I was only able to finish one half! The side salad... That thing was an ENTREE size! Portions here go crazy. The sandwich was delicious. Lightly toasted bread but not so much that it was cutting up my mouth. All ingredients tasted fresh. The side salad was also great! Overall a perfect sunny day lunch. Would definitely come back to explore more of the menu!

It's just burger and fries and it's quite expensive plus tips when everything pretty much self serve and we had to toss the trash ourselves. The food was okay, not the best burger I had and not Wow-ing to me. The patty was kind of dry in my opinion. The fries were decent and you can't do wrong with fries. The sauce cost extra but it's descent. You can't refill the drinks either. The place is pretty clean-ish besides under my table there were spilled sauce everywhere.
