“ Food is absolutely delicious! The owner, Joel, is friendly and welcoming and knows his food! Our bartender Liz was friendly and awesome to talk to! Definitely recommended to eat and drink here, especially during FDIC! ”
“ The sweet potato fries were great, the bread on the Ruben was very hard. Heads up, if you eat outside people smoke at the table even with the no smoking sign, that was very annoying! It's a small area and the smoke was right in our faces, we thought about complaining until we saw the guy that seated us smoking right by the sign too! We won't be going back! We also got bread pudding to go and they put whipped cream on very hot bread pudding (why heat it) and it was spilled everywhere and was a complete mess! ”
“ Excellent. Stopped by for a bit to see eat and was not disappointed. Welcomed at the door and shown excellent hospitality throughout the stay. Decent menu options with some excellent Irish choices, the Bangers and Mash was especially tasty. Nice clean ambiance. Worth a stop and visit. ”
