My office got lunch from this restaurant via take out one day a few weeks ago. The burger was well-done, as requested, and the french fries had very flavorful seasoning. Unlike other restaurants we have used for lunch the fries were not soggy or otherwise ruined by the container during the transit to our office. I look forward to taking my wife here to eat in person in the future.

I love this place. I have been enjoying their lunch menu for years. The Big Fish Sandwich is huge. My new favorite is the Phiily Cheese Steak. Hands down the best cheesesteak in my mind. The Holy Grail is really, really good i love their reuben but I prefer it without the horseradish sauce. We always have good service. Update. Stopped again today. Fantastic as always. The portions are sizeable.. we always end up taking half home.

Finally, I found the soft meat falling from the bones' RIBs. Oh, I loved them. I liked the restaurant..they busses have a private TV! Coffee is OK. I like hot coffee,but it was warm coffee. Burger blue cheese was ok, good. Nothing special, but franch fries were very good and hot. They have the best Philly cheese stake sandwich. OMG. They hooked me on it. I use their tomato soup as a dipping. Just add lots of hot sauce into the soup. I will be back and try lots of different stuff. Thanks.

Great menu. Lots of variety and creative options. Service was great. Guinness only in cans. Atmosphere better if didn't close at 10pm on Friday night with games still on is only complaint.

A friend has suggested we try this place, so six of us went having never been here before. We were pleasantly surprised. The menu is quite extensive and rivals that have a New Jersey diner. The food, however, was more upscale than that and as you can see from the pictures, we had a number of interesting items. Two of us had the Thai tuna salad. The tuner was fresh and seared according to your tastes. One of us had the steakhouse burger bowl, and one had salmon All of the dishes were prepared well and her, according to the testimony of the person eating that dish quite flavorful. horses were sufficient and represented a good value. A place appears quite large, especially for being in a strip mall. There is plenty of seating and several different sections. I recommend looking at the menu and if there is something that piques your interest stop by and experience the place

I wanted to take the family someplace we had never been before. We weren't sure what to think when we walked in it looked like your average sports bar. But man were we wrong the food here is amazing. None of us were disappointed and none of us brought home leftovers it was so good and so worth the drive. Just take a look at my pictures everything was prepared perfectly. We will be back now that we have found this gem.

We went for my son’s 18th birthday and it was amazing. The food was so freaking good. The wait staff was really great and helpful. I had a pulled pork sandwich (delicious and tender) with the amazing bacon Alfredo mashed potatoes - we demolished them! The blackened shrimp Alfredo was amazing and creamy and the blackened seasoning was on point. The burger was one of the best burgers I can remember eating. The only down star was that there were too many TVs and there didn’t seem to be a way to change the channel on ours.
