Great food, always hot. Great location on main street. We like it best for breakfast and lunch. Very Very loud inside at dinner and after hours.

We came in before Midnight on Main. The food was okay. They had a lack of wait staff but those working did a great job and we're efficient. The food was unremarkable. The pretzel's being sold on the street outside looked significantly better than the one we got as an appetizer. I don't think we'll be rushing back. We had a reservation but the place had empty tables.

I went here and ordered two beers. They then proceeded to tell me my credit card was not on file even though it was charged. I went next door and came back and they said that they still didn't have my card. They added more charges to my card the next day. I'm trying to cancel my card as I'm writing this. What a terrible thing to do to someone visiting for a wedding.

TLDR; Plenty other places a few doors down, but if here do a closed tab and make sure they acknowledge any specials like the happy hour half-priced apps
Brought the bartender the Happy Hour menu and ordered with at least 10 minutes left of specials. Drinks were served immediately, apps took like 30 minutes, had to go and ask what’s taking so long.
A couple drinks were priced right, all the “half-price” apps were full price. When confronted, the bartender says he “didn’t hold back…put in the order when we asked.” No one said you were “holding back” dude…
I shouldn’t need to very explicitly ask for the Happy Hour Specials while pointing at the Happy Hour menu, during Happy Hour.
The bartenders look very comfortable behind the bar and very aware of what they are doing. Pretty predatory of them to take advantage of people visiting for the holidays (Thanksgiving)
Don’t choose to go here. Soo many better places down, up, and across the street from this spot. If some friends drag you out here, definitely do a CLOSED TAB, and be very specific during any happy hour or specials.
