- CBCharlene Baxter6 days ago4.0Good food; excellent service. Not a lot of choice for on tap beer.
- JSJessica StevensonOct 25, 20255.0Shelby our server was amazing! Ask her for advise to win big buck against your opponent
- PHPony-Boy HodgettsOct 25, 20255.0I live down the street. I'm regrettably a regular. Without dimming the light of others, SHELBY (like the car) were certain she put the moon on a string. We came for game 1, world series, Toronto blue Jays. This woman appeared out of booths. Dropped out the ceiling. She was a pleasure to be "served" by. I know this seems like I know her, or we know her. We don't. She could be Tom Holland Superman, no one will ever know.
- CWCassidy WellerOct 25, 20255.0Shelby took the best care of us! We came on a busy Friday night during the jays game and she had our best interest in mind the entire time. Will be back & hopefully we have her as our server & friend again.
- CCChase CaddickOct 17, 20255.0Service was absolutely immaculate, Our servers Kalea and Sarah were absolutely fantastic. Great service and great vibes, highly recommend
