I used to go here a lot when I was younger & enjoyed the vibe. I started coming back & it's clear it's not as busy as it used to be, not sure why that is but I was pleased to learn they have great deals on food now, with every day of the week something different. I was recommended the Yorkie bites by the bartender the last time I visited & yum! Perfect amount of food for me. We've been here for wings in the past & those are always a good choice. It's great they feature local beer, 1000 islands. Friendly & welcome service. We will be back!View more

Food was okay but the price is high compared to the amount of food. Appreciate the military discount on meals though.View more

Poor value for the money spent.

Took my wife & kid for dinner & the kid left hungry because the two sliders he ordered had nothing on them, there was barely one kids mouthful of meat on either of his sliders so he basically ate a tiny $10 basket of French fries & some buns for dinner. We had to feed him when we got home again.

Wife ordered fish & chips, said they were ok. Small portion for the price paid again.

I ordered the Malaysian chicken, taste was good but it was like a soup. The sauce was the consistency of broth & the bowl was full of this broth, I had to go hunting for the ingredient In the soup. Vegetables were somewhat uncooked & small amount of chicken for the price.

We both ordered a drink, myself a large beer which was actually just a pint for nearly $9 not sure what the smaller options would have been, shot glasses? Wife ordered a glass of wine for $11 it was a small glass.

Server was friendly & food came in a reasonable amount of time, not quickly though, we were one of only a few tables.

Overall can’t say I’m impressed, had been to this location when it first opened for many years after that & it was always great. Now I’m not sure I would go back.View more

Ot as good as the one on Bank St. but it's still quite solid. Had the fish & chips, wasn't bad. They could do to keep a few different kins of stouts though.View more

Amazing spot! I went on a whim after a long shift & it was exactly what I needed. All the servers & bartenders were lovely, & it was nice being in an environment where you could tell everyone cared about what they were doing. Had the Cajun dusted wings & I'll DEFINITELY be going back for them. The house beer took me by surprise too! I didn't expect it to be as good as it was, since I'm used to house beers being mediocre. They had a great selection of them & they actually taste great! Overall, really good experience.View more

Nice Lovely Little Place (for lunch)
I had the privilege of having lunch with my colleagues last Wed ( Sep 13) & the overall food & service exceeded my expectations. I am sure my co-workers felt the same way. Food was great especially the Wednesday Deal (sandwich platter & glass of beer for 25). I know it is still pricey but so is everywhere. Décor outdoor & indoor is quite nice. The best part is the service. We were taken care by this amazing young waitress who made sure we were satisfied with our needs. For myself I'll probably want to return back. Thank you.View more

We went on a Sunday because kids eat free. Normally we switch it up every week so we have an idea of what works well with kids.

First off the selection of food is limited. I guess the idea of this place is more for drinking then food.

Secondly the service was dead slow. Only one server was serving the whole place, including the bar. We arent exactly impatient, but my family probably waited an extra 20 min because of slow service. Might have been a no show on servers, not sure, first time.

The prices were definitely more over the average family place. It ended up being around the same price even when 2 kids who ate free because of the price difference. So really didn't save for kids eating free.

I don't like giving bad reviews, but our first impressions weren't the best.View more

We go as a group once a week. The service was never really great but it's getting worse each time. Be prepared to wait a long time for drink & food. Today it was over an hour to get some wings. Last time almost an hour. This is a good location for our group to meet but we'll be looking for another place. We've given them too many chances & there's always some excuse for the poor service.View more

Food was good, the service was a bit too slow. Appetizers & main came together at the same time which was not convenient!View more
