- AVAlex VelezDec 16, 20251.0Extremely disappointed in the food we just ordered through Uber Eats. We have been longtime customers who eat at the restaurant and order online often. The fish and chips were of poor quality. Really small pieces that are not adequate for a 2 piece. The gravy’s taste has changed and it tastes really watered down. The fish was soggy and greasy. The burger was mediocre. The beef was fatty and poorly seasoned. The buns were soggy and gross. We’ve had some bad experiences lately, but this one is the worst. Quality has clearly declined and for $60 bucks is just pure robbery. When you pay a premium, you expect quality food. Unfortunately this will be our last order and won’t be visiting again. Please go back to the food you served before when the consistency and freshness was always there, but it might be too late for us if you do improve. Best of luck!
- TLTom LuzziDec 16, 20255.0The service was so so I wouldn’t rate it very high and it wasn’t very busy, but the food was outstanding
- TMTrish MazzeiDec 9, 20255.0We had a staff event of about 30 people. The servers were very professional and they were ready to serves us even when people were just coming in at different times. The food and drinks were phenomenal. The food was delicious and plenty. The drinks were made beautifully. Our staff had a blast and we would definitely come back again.
