Had dinner there, was seated immediately, drink orders were taken quickly. Waitress came to take food order very shortly later, I had the beef dip which was just the way I like it, lots of mushrooms, onions and melted cheese, beef was melt in your mouth tender and a good amount of it. Wife had the haddock stack, 2 full size pieces of fish on a bun , fish was fresh, tender and flakey , service was impeccable, will definitely return well worth visiting there.

Horrible customer service. My boyfriend went in to grab our pick up order and stood there for 5 minutes as 3 servers just ignored him but proceeded to help people who came in after him. I had to come in and get a server’s attention in order to be helped, food wasn’t even warm either. Wasn’t busy enough to excuse the bad service
