The food was mediocre at best, and I wouldn't recommend this place.

We arrived on a Thursday at 5:30 PM and were greeted by an extremely inebriated man loudly arguing about politics with an equally drunk woman. Shortly after, the man left, and the woman stumbled to the bathroom, loudly collapsing to the floor. The bartender noticed her but still served her another drink when she returned. There was also another man with her who kept insisting, "She's fine." Aside from the drunken antics, the food was disappointingly bland. I ordered the beer-battered shrimp, which clearly came from the freezer, and the only flavor in the batter was the taste of burnt fryer oil. The coleslaw was practically soup, and I’ve had better mashed potatoes in a school cafeteria. We ordered our burger medium, but it came out well-done and cold. The fries were decent, but at that point, it hardly mattered. There are plenty of better dining options in the area that offer more value for your money.

I went with three friends, two had sub sandwiches, one had an asparagus salad and I had to try the "famous "Reuben. All were of good quality and quantity. Decent number of beers on tap, with a mixture of craft and mass-market beers atreasonable prices. Atmosphere is like an old-time tavern, nothing fancy but very comfortable place to have a meal or just hangout and watch a game.

It was challenging to eat like that! Also, my order was mistakenly doubled, which made dinner for two cost over $50 with tip included.
