Really liked this place. I was getting a set of tires and had 90 minutes to kill. GPS said this place was just over a half mile away. It’s on a side street so a little hard to find but the bartender was very nice and the customers were super friendly.

Like I said, I want to love Cronin's. I want to go back, but the service is...

They also weren't marinated at all. Steak tips are my favorite food, I get them everywhere I go. These just tasted like nothing. Also to top it off the mash potatoes weren't home made. I've had instant potatoes better than the ones they served me. Service was great though, can't...
