We've come here a few times since moving here last August. It's become our go to bar for football season and other sports. The food is great and I like their wines, they're good pours! Service can be inconsistent depending on the day, usually we're fine with it and understanding. The last recent time was a bit tough though, as nobody came after the hostess checked in on us 3 times. I think they may have been understaffed that day and there was a really big table outside too. No need to get into details, we were eventually helped and it was fine. (See pictures in Photos section)

Five stars every time. Go there now! The doors and windows are open, and the weather and view are awesome! Every TV is on, so the kids will be entertained. Bailey at the bar is the best!

One of the best Fried Chicken Sandwiches I've had in a long time. Crisp lettuce, nice bun, good fries, great hot sauce. Co worker had the Cheesesteak and House Salad and had no complaints.

Really good, mahi mahi tacos are delicious, the spicy pineapple sauce make them real tasty. Mean Jo green salad was fresh and good.

I love that the patio is dog friendly! Lots of good options - I love a good sports grill/pub. The meatball appetizer was really good. The nachos were great, but definitely get them with meat—the cheese is very good! My husband got the carnitas crown tacos which were very good!

Have enjoyed everything I've had to eat except the ribs. To me, they tasted as if they had been boiled first. They are the only item i wouldn't recommend.

The food was very tasty, with a good number of options and nice portion sizes. The server was prompt, attentive, and friendly. I liked the atmosphere and not loud at all compared to other sports bars. We went on a Saturday afternoon for lunch while it was moderately busy. I would definitely go again.
