It said this place was the best option for miles. After eating there, I had to make a Yelp account to leave my first review to let everyone know it's recommendation NAILED it. The food was incredible. Everything on the menu looked great, but the Brisket Mac and Cheese (pictured) is what I landed on. It was delicious! My family got 2 orders of the Fried CBR wrap and a Cubano (it was a special in place of the Reuben). They loved their food too! "Wrap was perfectly grilled" "I loved the cubano, very tasty. Perfect amount of pickles and pork and sauce". The one who ate the cubano is picky, so that's a glowing recommendation. Would advise anyone within many miles to do yourself a favor and visit to give it a try, I hope you have the same incredible experience I did. ~ Josh

We have some family friends that live in Norwich. We made our way to this part of town to have…read morefather's day lunch with them. They called ahead and made a reservation for us. It was nice that they had 16 of us in a banquet room, the penalty box. The penalty box was quite spacious for the 16 of us. They had a few tables set up with silverware and popcorn for us. Three of the four tables were great. I really question the last table they set up. It was literally falling apart. It was so unstable. It needed more than just a couple coasters to stabilize the table which they tried doing. Common sense to me is don't use the table but as unstable as the table was, they actually thought it would work. It's quite humorous really, that you thought in the whole process of getting everything set up that in your sober mind it would work. After the whole fiasco of getting the tables rearranged, we finally got our drinks started. After drinks were dropped off, I went ahead and told the servers that we were ready to order. I didn't want to wait any longer. They were gone for long periods of time. With that big of a party that's in the back, you'd think that they would be around more often. For starters we got the giant pretzel to share. For lunch I got the hot honey smothered chicken with extra brocolli subbed for the mashed potatoes. The giant pretzel was very giant. It came with two types of cheese sauces. One was regular nacho type. It had a nice heat to it. The other cheese sauce was topped with bacon. The pretzel itself was not overly salted. It was harder on the outside but soft in the middle. It was plenty for the 5 of us to share. Lunch finally made it's way out. Some adjustments needed to be made since they wasn't enough broccoli for all of us. Our server adjusted two out of the four of us that needed our brocolli subbed. My plate was one of the last to get served. I had to ask my server about my second side since I asked for double brocolli. No other hot vegetable was available so I settled for coleslaw. My chicken was tender. There was a good amount of veggies and cheese on top of it. It was ok, I had a few bites and wasn't all too thrilled about it. The brocolli was roasted and had a nice char on it from the roasting. My son got a side of butter for his brocolli so I added a a little on mine. It was a good addition to it. The coleslaw tasted like store bought so I didn't eat much of it. We started off our dining experience with 2 servers and then ended with 1. Clearly she wasn't equipped to take on a party that big alone. Refills were asked for multiple times. Same with boxes and my husband's slushy. She finally told us that the slushy machine was down after we waited a while for it. She never checked up on us after lunch was dropped off until it was time to close us out. She was gone 85% of the whole time. It was honestly some of the worst service. As a past server, how does one leave a table unattended for that long of a period of time and feel like you deserve 20%? I feel bad that my husband spent his father's day meal here. He does so much for us throughout the year and he had to settle for less than basic food and service. From the table to the lack of service and everything else in between, I would recommend you going somewhere else but here for a meal.

We arrived just as a local band was getting ready for a three hour set (4-7pm) on a Sunday afternoon. Cover charge was $5.00 each. There were quite a few people there, but there was still room to sit in the spacious outdoor deck/stage area. There's also an outside bar area to grab a drink, instead of having to run inside to the regular bar. Food was available, but we did not try anything. The indoor vathrooms were pretty small, but served the purpose. The music was very good, the sound was loud enough, without blaring out of the speakers. There's a roof over the outside deck, but it's in different sections, so the sun does shine though in areas, making it a little hot when it's hitting you. Our only complaint would be the amount of people that were smoking. There is no way to get away from the cigarette smoke wafting in your face. Other than that, it seems like a great venue to enjoy some live music, a drink and a bite to eat. We definitely plan on going back.

I wonder if the ice machine needs a cleaning. Something was not right about it. We ended up ordering bottled root-beers for $4 each because we couldn't drink the water. I won't give it a less rating for this- just something to note. Definitely will come again!

Our host, server and actually all of the employees were super frinedly upbeat and attentive in spite of the place being jjam packed. There was music playing from a jkebox, but in the main dining room it wasn't too loud. And I was glad that we were seated there becuase we had a great view of the lake. We would have enjoyed the patio, but it was especially chilly for mid-May. Anyway, on to the food and drinks. Cocktails were good and not too sweet, draft beer was fresh. Steamed clams were on point. Salads were crisp and fresh as well as creative. Entrees were amazing and even the fries (which to my mind are usually an afterthought) were excellent. Other than some tight parking and a somewhat loud dining room, it was a great experience. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation. The chef is top notch.

My husband, brother and I were excited to find seats at the bar and order dinner. The bartender was a short blonde woman and there was a male bar back. The bartender did not acknowledge us for over 15 minutes. We were actively looking at the menu on our phones and talking about what we wanted to try and attempted to make eye contact with her as she walked by us with no luck. She didn't even say "I will be right with you", literally no interaction. She was very friendly with everyone else around us seeming to know exactly what they were drinking and happy to get it for them. We left as we felt very unwelcome there and ended up having excellent service down the street at Lukin's.

We found this little gem and holy toledo did we we strike gold. First of all, the hostess was super nice and greeted us right away even though she was clearly busy and hustling. We chose to sit outside at a picnic table to soak up the beautiful weather. The outside is fun with brightly painted picnic tables and murals on the building. Our waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu and offered great suggestions. She was great and we really enjoyed interacting with her. We started with rum punches which were made with freshly squeezed juice and they were out of this world. We shared the "everything" wings which were crispy and that sauce was delicious. We were tempted to lick the sauce off the plate. We refrained so we didn't get strange looks. I had the Kimchi Reuben which is made with house made kimchi I might add. My husband got the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. We both opted for Poutine Fries for our sides. Guys, this food was unique and spectacular. I'm just bummed it's 3 hours from home!
