Had a great burger, fries, and salad here. Better than fair prices, and excellent value: hope that doesn't mean that the staff are underpaid. Burger buns were sourced from a local bakery and the burger patty was handmade and spiced in house. Seemed like these were people who took care with and pride in the food they served. Friendly waitstaff. Service: Dine in

3 stars is for OK. It was OK. We needed a place to eat at 8pm, and this menu sounded really yummy! The cost was a little high, but the restaurant across the street was wayyy higher and much fancier, so we took our chances. So, all in All, I get that the cost is higher because there is probably no grocery store nearby? Great service though! Service: Dine in

My husband and I had lunch while on vacation. Our server was excellent and attentive, and we love the atmosphere of the bar area we sat in. Unfortunately, our food was okay at best. Hubby had a reuben that he described as edible, even though they made a big deal on the menu about house made corned beef. My chicken strips were pretty much what you would expect from something from a big distributor like Cisco. Honestly, the place hasn 't been the same since it was sold and rebranded a few years ago. Vegetarian options: Few, if any, vegetarian options. I am pescatarian, and I had a handful of options.
