The music is great (classic hits) and the portion sizes are large. The food is absolutely delicious! Be sure to visit this place when you can.

It took over thirty minutes to receive our food, which included chicken tenders, fries, and a BLT. Unfortunately, the chicken tenders were burned and had a taste of old oil. The French fries also tasted burnt, and the bacon on the BLT was charred and tough to eat. After this experience, I have decided not to return to this establishment. Despite having lived in Arbutus for 70 years and dining in the area frequently, this meal was disappointing and left me unsatisfied.

While an overstuffed sub may seem appealing for dining in, it becomes overwhelming when the portions are so large for takeout that it becomes a jumbled mess of mostly mayonnaise by the time you get home. It would be great if they could improve on this aspect.

Bar filled, two people sitting at a table eating. Two employees behind bar. Stood there ignored for 5minutes. A simple be with you in a minute would have helped. Didn 't have hope for timely service so went for fast foodinstead and made it to concert on time.

Waited a long time to get the waitress to take our order. Took over thirty minutes to get what we ordered. Chicken tenders, fries and a BLT. Chicken tenders were burned, tasted like they were cooked in really old oil. The Frenchfries tasted burned. I could not eat the bacon on my sandwich. It was charred and I couldn't get my teeth thru it. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this place. I have lived in Arbutus for 70 years, eaten in the area for that amountof time, and never eaten anything as bad as this meal.
