Great little bar! Good food, atmosphere, and a great way to crave your appetite. The bartenders were friendly and the cook made our food to perfection. Nice experience and glad we shoot pool here in our circuit. Look forward to coming back.
Visiting the area and found this place online. So glad I did! What a great neighborhood bar/restaurant. The owner was working the bar on this Friday night and she was so warm and welcoming. This is the kind of place everyone would love to have as their neighborhood hangout. The food is great, not your typical frozen food thrown in a deep fryer you'd expect at a dive bar. Next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely make it a point to return!
People are so friendly and make you laugh. Food is fabulous.
Nothing beats a mrs. Sharon's jack and cokes! The crabby tots and cream of crab soup is so delicious you gotta try it! The prices are great! Fun atmosphere.
My son took me there for lunch one day. Great food. Very friendly workers. Been back there a couple of times and took friends they also like the food. Freshly made, good prices and a lot of it. Always decorated very nice.
Great food, friendly staff, & excellent draft beer selection for a small neighborhood bar! Like the song says,”I love this bar!” (The grilled ham & cheese & the honey Old Bay wings are killer!)
Awesome service, clean bar with ice cold beer. Get there early because parkings scarce! Two pool tables and jukebox also, what else can you ask for?
Very nice staff! Their crab fries are THE BEST I've ever had! And OMG... The rum buckets <3!
Exceptional service and great ambiance. Although the main chef was absent, resulting in a limited menu, the meal was delightful and swift — the perfect prelude to our evening.
We were a party of four, two kids and two adults. They do not have a kid's menu, but they have plenty of kid friendly options! My youngest loved the spaghetti with meatsauce and "garlic bread" (toast with butter and garlic seasoning), and it came with a very nice side salad. My oldest devoured the chicken tenders and fries - these are real chicken breast tenders hand battered, mind you, not frozen chicken product. Both had leftovers for tomorrow. My dad had the burger and chips, and pronounced it excellent. I had the open faced roast beef and gravy, which is served with mashed potatoes or fries. Very good! The food took a little longer than some places, but I'm sure that's because they are preparing the dishes fresh instead of from pre-cooked and microwaved food. I'd rather wait for a meal made with care! The bar and dining area was clean, open, and inviting. Low top and high top tables, and bar seating. Two pool tables in the back. The staff was friendly and kind, we felt very welcome on our first visit. I will definitely go back again! So much more to sample, I wonder if they make good chicken salad or wings! :)
