Description

In recent evaluations of a local bar-restaurant, opinions remain sharply divided. While some diners praise its renovated ambiance and menu highlighting quality burgers and friendly service, a recurring theme of unwelcoming staff surfaces notably in the bar area. A handful of patrons express disappointment over declining service levels, alleging that unprofessional bartenders detract from the dining experience. Despite these criticisms, others commend the kitchen for delivering tasty, reasonably priced meals. With the establishment reportedly for sale, diners are hopeful for new ownership to uphold the food quality while urging the importance of friendly service in maintaining a welcoming atmosphere.

Came in to eat after a basketball game...so there was alot of us. We were willing to wait and all were very patient. The waitress said we had to leave because she couldn 't wait on all of us. We decided to leave and go to docs instead. She stopped us and told us we could stay. We all wrote down our orders on napkins with names and she did orders that way. So she didnt actually take any orders. Food was coming out wrong and we all just dealt with it...as they were busy. Once the bill came, we paid. The waitress had the nerve to walk up to me and confront me about how much I tipped. I was on with another family 's tab as I was alone. I paid for my meal and drink. My portion of the bill was $12 and I left an $8 tip. She says to me sorry if you weren 't happy with your service . I was shocked...like I never said anything about anything. I told her I was fine and wasn 't unhappy with my service and I didn 't know what she was talking about. She says well, most people tip 10% . Well lady I tipped more than 10%. I 'm a waitress and I would never confront a customer like that. I did call back once I left and told a manager. She was very nice. But dang I felt totally called out and embarrassed. My first time there and probably my last. Food: 5 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 5

I am so disappointed! We liked to stop here every time we went to Duluth for their awesome whole wings. Unfortunately they changed them out for small mediocre wings. It’s a cute bar with friendly people but I won’t order the wings again Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
