    Our food was delicious and large quantities. There was a decent amount of noise but we were still able to talk and hear each other.

    The big pretzel was amazing, pizza was good, drinks were flowing. Music was .. loud .. and present .. but overall we had a really good night out with the kids. Wasn't particularly cheap, so maybe not soon, but would definitely do again!

    I made a reservation online and paid $10 for a table with a view of the band (meant to be live music according to open table). When I got there early I was told my table was given to someone else but I could sit outside (with no view of the now DJ. Our waitress was almost never around. I ordered the bottomless fish & chips, but only the fish is bottomless (seriously?) but it tasted good I’ll give them that. Their beer was great - particularly the Sesh. The live band turned out to be an old DJ playing Winamp. I’ll come back for the beer, maybe.

    We were very happy with the food and service. There is a lot of variety even for my grandsons. We were disappointed that they didn't serve ice cream for dessert.

    This is a great local spot with amazing food selection and quality. Great selection of drinks and food with amazing service too. Large facilities for private or public dining. We always have a great time here and find some fantastic food. Happy hour specials are great and the daily specials are too. Burgers, salads, tacos, nachos or wings are a great way to enjoy some of their fare. Can't wait to come back.
