    Food is always good. A small bar/dining atmosphere.

    My husband suggested we come here and I’ll admit, I was a bit unenthused by the small, pub-style setting. I was so wrong, and I will never assume again! Norenna is so welcoming and quick. We had the brawny burger and the chicken tenders, both really good! Tenders have a good crunch to them, burger was juicy, and the beer is pretty cheap!

    Nice clean place. Limited menu for lunch. Chicken sandwich was very good. Only thing we both made comments about was- it was a small plastic cup for a $2.75 pop. Will go back but will drink water.

    This is a local joint that we visited after hiking at the Izaak Walton preserve. Bears game in progress, lots of regulars, and a welcoming crowd. My companion greeted several friends. Bartender paid attention and quickly served drinks and pizza (really good and cheesy) with a funny patter throughout. Would definitely go again. Oh, and it was reasonably priced.

    I greatly appreciate Norenna who waited on me this afternoon. She really went out of her way to make sure I was happy with everything. My burger was excellent and perfectly cooked. Great service & Great food! Will be coming back soon.

    Old school bar with great specials. Very friendly people, felt like Cheers in there. Got the $8 Italian beef special with a side. Amazing price for these days. Beef was delicious with lots of beef on it. For the side I got the French onion soup and that was also very good and a good portion. In this age of shrinkflation and crazy prices on food, it was a pleasant surprise. I will be back for sure to try other menu items. Too bad I live an hour away...
