“ Great food, not a typical bar selection. I have only been here about 4 times and I have only had burgers. They also have a variety of entrées that sound good but the $10 burger special on Wednesday is amazing for the quality. The service is good and attentive, especially with clearing and refills. The overall feeling of the establishment is comfortable and friendly. ”
“ Me and my wife were on the way to Philly and were starving. I asked her to look up a spot on the way and she found this place. Me, her, and our 8 month old son were seated promptly. The staff was very hospitable. I had the burger which I felt was the perfect size. I don't like pattys that are too thick. I asked for a medium cook which it was. My wife had the chicken florentine. The pasta was amazing and the breaded chicken was still crispy underneath that sauce. Highly recommend this place! ”
“ Excellent server - Mallory, speedy and friendly. Aside from the great service, the Blackened Salmon was beyond excellent. Gently cooked and wonderfully seasoned, tender, fresh and flavorful. Kudos! ”
“ Came for a reserved lunch with friends Our waitress was amazing and personable! The pot sticker appetizers were so good! I ended up getting the Chicken Florentine for my entree. It was tooo cheesey for my likes in the end. And I suppose, a combination of the cheese and shells made it almost have a strong smell also. The chicken breast in the entree was moist Plenty of free parking infront of restaurant If I'm ever in the area in the evening, I would love to come back and check out any happy hour vibes ”
