I stopped here on a Thursday afternoon around 12 30. I sat at the bar. The place was busy but not overly crowded. I ordered a corona premier and Philly cheese steak sandwich with cottage cheese. The bartender was nice and she easily recommended a few things when asked. I decided to go with the Philly. The beer was fine and the line was large and juicy, not dried out and old like what I have been getting a lot of lately. The cottage cheese was standard cottage cheese. It was good, not clotted or dried out. The Philly was very good with tons of flavor and juicy. When it came, it didn't look like it had much meat on it but had a goodly amount, though it would have been nice with a bit more as I did have a couple of bites with very little meat. However very yummy and the peppers and onions were sauted nicely. The only thing I wish is that they had toasted the bun, little butter and in the fridge for a couple of minutes would have elevated this sandwich to the best level. I would still order it, just make sure I would to ask for toasted bun. The cost was very good for the food and drink, being right around $15 before taxes and fees. I would definitely recommend going here for food as very good with very reasonable prices and very nice people.

This is one of those places you go when you want some good food. It's nothing fancy so don't expect that sort of ambiance. But it's like a local hidden gem the locals know about and might share with you if you are lucky. You walk in and someone says welcome and tells you to seat yourself where ever a table is open. Don't miss the opportunity of Zoltar to give you your fortune!! The servers are quick and will bring you a bowl of free popcorn and take your drink order. We started with one of our favorites, the broccoli cheddar bites. Honestly any of the appetizers are amazing. Is it fried food, yes, but this place does it well!! I ordered a 1/4 cheeseburger, you choose your toppings and they make to order. The flavor was so amazing, like when you crave a burger, this will certainly hit the spot! Hubby ordered the Philly cheesesteak and said it was very flavorful, just as he remembered. Again, this is nothing fancy, but it's great bar type food with great flavor and it's always consistent! Menu has a wide variety of items. The Tenderloin Sandwich is also top notch!! It's a hidden gem! Make it a must when in town!

I loved the outdoor seating, the view was DQ and a parking:(...). But with my life being work and the hotel I was still so happy to be outside. I ordered cod, chili, fries and a drink. My roommate ordered one burger. It came to about $35... $50 w/tip. The chilli was decent and the drink was strong. The cod pieces or nuggets as they called them where pretty gross and the fries tasted like and had the texture of restaurant fries you take home on left over and reheat. The staff was welcoming and friendly, I gave them a $15 tip. Our food was delivered promptly. Overall it wasn't too bad but the food was not worth any money. Wished I had just sucked it up and waited in line at DQ.... A little while later... I just got done reading through some of the reviews. I travel for work and was looking for a local bar with good food and the reviews were mostly 4 and 5 stars. I am confused. The staff was great. Loved the outside seating but the quality of the food was bad. It sucks to drop $50 and get fried that tasted like day olds and the fish was like Sysco frozen foods.
