The menu was really small, service wasn’t great, and the food was okay. Wouldn’t recommend.

To be fair they told us up front they are in transition. Just opened up under new ownership and operating under a very reduced/limited menu. We came in around 1:30, at the end of what would have been the lunch rush. There was one, maybe 2 tables seated at the time. Our waitress was very friendly & super sweet with our kid. She explained to us that they're open while in transition and will be offering specials which change monthly to get customer feedback in order to rebuild their menu. Their existing menu is very limited, 3 entrees, wings w/just 2 sauce options. For me the pricing is a bit off. $9 for kids meals is steep (especially when your kid doesn't like it). Also, a burger loaded with bacon, etc is $13 and yet a plain cheeseburger also charges $13 - doesn't make sense. $5.50 for draft beers you can find in the same area for $3 (in fact go to Round1 next door and get nearly twice as big a glass for $3!). Flatbread special fell flat, reminiscent of a cafeteria pizza - not bad, but nothing to boast about. Friend got two jack & splash of coke. First was fine, second was brought to him literally half full. I can't believe they'd even serve it that way with a straight face. Very inconsistent. I should mention that by this time we were literally the only patrons left in the restaurant. At this point we rarely saw our waitress anymore and when I did ask for a soda refill, she brought it out more than 20 minutes later - as we were paying the bill boasting that she had gotten me a fresh one because the other had been sitting out so long since she forgot about it. Not sure what was keeping her so busy? Certainly not any other patrons. Overall, I'd say they're charging premium prices for mediocre food/service. Keep in mind they are in transition and clearly trying to make things better. Would make sense to mark their prices down during this period & then raise them as they get more established, both with patrons & menu. Give it a try, make your own opinion.

Under new management. Food and beer menu significantly paired down. Worst cheesesteak I’ve ever had

I was really disappointed with our experience there. Our waiter was not very friendly. I also went there thinking they had a lot of gluten free options. When I asked to have the gluten free bread offered in the menu they said I could only have a pizza. I then asked that my burger be on a bed a lettuce which he initially refused. Our food came out cold, the food was not good. My husband's salad was literally frozen. It is clear that things are not fresh. I also found that while we were playing trivia, the waiter would come over, look at our answers and then share them with other tables. Even if we had won, we wouldn't use our giftcard there because we definitely won't be going back.

They're selling to anew owner. Waitress told us that off the bat, and that they were trying to get rid of a lot of things, so we could expect things to be missing. They're cutting back their beer offerings, and the food was eh.

First time here the atmosphere was nice on a Friday night they had a great musician who was there and he sounded great but just a little too loud to enjoy table conversation. They were out of many things on the menu including beer the waitress told us the place is changing owners in a few weeks and it will be completely changed over to a upscale wine bar. Not sure how this will do given the location next to a bowling alley.

We went for 80’s trivia night and had a blast. Please do this again, soon. Everything was great but our server was incredible. It was a busy night and she kept us supplied w drinks and got orders right for 8 people. Can not wait to go back!
