I don’t want to be overly critical of a small, independently owned restaurant, but our recent visit may be our last. We arrived on a Saturday around 2:00 PM for lunch and drinks. Although the place wasn’t crowded, it took over an hour for our food to arrive after we ordered. We only had a black bean salad and some wings. The wings were surprisingly cool, mushy, and gelatinous, almost resembling undercooked food, even though they appeared nearly burnt. As for the salad, it was quite unappetizing, looking like a simple mix of cold canned beans dumped onto iceberg lettuce. We ended up leaving both dishes mostly untouched. Other patrons in the bar were visibly frustrated with the long wait, especially after a to-go order was taken and served before our table’s orders. I’ll give this place two stars solely because the atmosphere was nice, and the bartender/server did a decent job.

I visit this restaurant regularly, and I always enjoy the food and the friendly staff. If you're just trolling, why not help your grandma with the dishes instead?

Fantastic restaurant! The food is delicious, and the customers are wonderful.
