    Decided to try a new place for dinner and it was well worth it. Decided on the fish and shrimp dinner with Mac and cheese and fries. The fish was huge and very flavorful. The 4 shrimp were juicy and tasted very good. The fries are like a battered type and were good. Glad they didn't taste like they were cooked with the fish. The Mac and cheese is absolutely delicious. Nice soft noodles and creamy cheese almost like a sauce. Could have just eaten this as a main course! The bar is comfy and everyone makes you feel very comfortable. Lots of staff for a smaller place. Also found it cool they have derby cash horse racing monitors and a lottery machine. Will definitely return to try many more dishes. Thank you to the staff for a fun dinner tonight.

    The owners of this location have a long standing track record with two other locations. We have frequented the other two locations and they never disappoint. Same goes for this location. Newly renovated, great staff, service, food and atmosphere. I highly recommend their wings (lickers sauce) and the Ruben Potato Kegs (Appetizer). We will be back for sure.

    This was a weirdly pleasant surprise. From the outside the establishment looks like there very well could be a missing child inside or grand dads lawn mover holster. Our friend was our waitress, she moved like an npc but was pretty solid overall. I got the Philly cheesesteak and oh boy slap my mother was it scrumptious. HIGHLY recommend it drunk or not but wow pretty good for the outside look. never judge a book by its cover

    Great food and service. Loved the music and free water. Will go again the next time I have a ride

    Had wings and beer at the recommendation of a friend, wings had a good crunch to them and the beer was cold. Cant ask for more than that.

    The people here seemed so well meaning, but the execution was terrible across the board. Both the…read morewaitress and the guy who set us up with a table were absolutely pleasant. Beyond that it was a nightmare. The service was sooooo sloooooow. It took too long for the waitress to come take our food orders after we placed a drink order. People in service should know to pick up the pace when they see small children in a party. However, even if it had been just adults, there is no excuse to keep us waiting for ten minutes. And then the food took absolutely forever, at least half an hour. During the wait, I counted only four parties totaling 14 people in the entire place. It was so frustrating. When the food arrived, half of it was wrong. My daughter ordered a kid's cheeseburger; she received a burger with no cheese. I ordered a grilled chicken salad with caesar dressing on the side; I received a caesar salad with the dressing mixed in. I didn't send it back--no time to wait! The salad was merely lettuce, dressing, and "chicken." The meat was rubbery and stale-tasting. The pretzel bites were horrid; sort of ligh-textured and vaguely sweet, but saturated with oil, they tasted more like toasted chunks of brioche bread than real soft pretzels. The "beer cheese" was mercifully flavorless. My wife's fish sandwich was bland but okay. The french fries were delicious. See, I closed on a positive note.

    This place has its fans, including, the owner. Upon request from the owner to give them another…read moretry, I stopped by again last night for another shot at the burger. I switched things up a bit though, wanting to be sure to give the place an opportunity to put its best food forward. The wife got the previously dry Guinness Burger and I asked the Manager on Duty for a recommendation.....what do you guys do best? His reply, as I'd heard from others, was the Reuben. The Guiness Burger was better. It was more along the lines of a juicy, home-grilled burger. The Guinness BBQ sauce should be allowed to spill from burger to the plate so you can dip the fries. The wife enjoyed the meal. The Reuben was very good, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/B0aSdOQJxHwa-VxA3hzYgA?select=kjYdbYkherAVT1UCyu01Og. I make Reubens at home exactly the way I like them. Mine have more meat and sauerkraut on them. At $8.99, this improvement is suggested. Still, the marble rye was grilled perfectly, the cheese, Thousand Island dressing, kraut and corned beef were nicely mingled and the sandwich was plenty moist and hot when it arrived. I'd come back on a Wednesday for the Reuben as it appears to be the special at $5.99. That's a good deal. Plenty of people were also noshing on the AYCE crab legs. Not sure on the price, but at least 3 large tables thought they were reasonable. Weather permitted us to choose the outdoor deck, which is a very nice alternative. There is a bar and a half-dozen tables. Service appeared to be very attentive the night we were there. It's difficult to personally attest to the service, given a bit of extra attention. In summary, the Reuben and improved Guinness burger warrant pulling the place up at least a half-star, and the owner's sincere effort to win over his customers is worth a little too. This place does the bar/pub thing pretty good and I wouldn't cross it off my list.

    Cute little restaurant/bar with a Scottish food menu. Some of the items are meant for sharing, like…read morethe Scotch eggs and toast with whipped cheese, while others are single servings, like the salads and bangers and mash. I made a light summer meal of the house salad and half order of one Scotch egg, although I found the two creamy dressings to be too much. The cocktail list is relatively long and very tempting, but we got (and enjoyed) 3 sazeracs. Service was slow, but we didn't mind, because we had a lot to catch up on, and football was on the telly. Next to no parking in their private lot. Didn't try the restrooms. P.s. use the lower door off the patio to enter/exit.

    Quaint little restaurant in a historic building with a nice outdoor area. They could probably do…read moremore with the outside, like improve the tables and chairs, but it was nice nonetheless. Unfortunately, the food was merely average. On top of that, the kitchen must have been backed up because we waited FOREVER for our food. Let's start with the food highlight - the fish and chips. A large beer battered piece of delicate fish served with nice, crispy fries. Really good. Unfortunately everything else was average. We enjoyed the Scotch eggs. Check that, we enjoyed the Scotch egg. We ordered a half portion for $9, thinking we'd be too full if we got the full portion. Wrong about that one. $9 for one egg. We also ordered the goat cheese toast with tomato jam. It was a few pieces of French bread with a smear of goat cheese spread. Four small pieces for $12. I expected more. For the other mains, we got the bangers and mash, the smoked salmon sandwich and the pot roast mac. Each was Ok but nothing to write home about. The mac and cheese was bland. This is a small family run business that needs support, plus it's such a neat little place that I'd love to come back, but I just don't see that happening.
