We have enjoyed their wings but the fish fry was wonderful! Nice neighborhood bar style place with lots of seating. We were waited on quickly and the food was hot and delicious. Definitely worth the stop!

Food was incredible! Look at the meat on that Reuben! Best Reuben sammie in the area. Only glitch, we had a long wait and received very little attention from our server. In their defense, server seemed really young and likely very new.
