    Just had a wonderful plate of tater tots and two very good Rum & Colas. Good service, friendly staff, and I loved the Venetian masks hanging over the bar. Good food for an aristic stomach, good art for the artistic eye. A good place to wait for the bus.

    I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately I don't think I will be returning. Upon arrival the vibe was very strange. Employees seemed lost and confused about what they were doing and didn't have a clue about what any types of wines were. Since we were here for an event we ordered drinks first with the intention of ordering pizza later on in the night. The drinks were pretty standard and were made pretty quickly. After our event ended we tried to order a pizza which took a while. We had to ask for a menu AFTER the bartender/owner began taking our order so it felt very rushed and awkward. We ordered a small pizza with mushrooms and green peppers ($14) and oh my was it a sight to see. What we received was a paper thin rectangle with mangled burnt edges and half of the pizza dragging across the bar. I consider myself a cheese lover (born and raised in Wisconsin) but this pizza had TOO MUCH. Trying to grab a piece was a nightmare due to the super thin crust and mountain of cheese on top. The sauce didn't really have any flavor and just added to the sloppiness of the slices. I did appreciate that the peppers still had some crunch to them but that's the only thing we liked about it. Overall this establishment felt more like a bunch of friends hanging out rather than a business.

    First time eating there. We had pizza and onion rings. Wasn’t disappointed in anything. Food and service were both good. My wife and I are different when it comes to food. She is a very picky eater, and there’s nothing I won’t eat. We’ve been to several places to find a pizza she likes, and for her, they have to have onion rings, too. She said that Chucks might be are go to place from now on for pizza, and onion tings. We both enjoyed it enough that we will be looking at other food on the menu next time. We will definitely be going back.
