    Drake Maye inspired Super Bowl drink
    Christina S.

    Went on a Sunday for brunch solo and easily sat at the bar! They had a patriots inspired drink for the superbowl and I thought it was really good! It had curaçao, rum and pineapple juice! Their corn beef hash isn't traditional but was still salty and flavorful and I really enjoyed the Monte madame! It had super small cubes of ham and the cheese sauce with the bread was so yummy! I do wish it was a little bigger but still really good!

    Best breakfast ever!

    This place is amazing! The food is so good I didn't know what to get and I was choosing between two things and the waitress recommended the street tacos and they were so good. And the flight mimosas were amazing. I can't wait to go back. The ambiance of this place is amazing cool things on the wall very one working there is very nice and friendly

    Bowl

    Pretty good food here. Service was great and attentive. Parking lot can get packed. We came here for lunch so it wasn't busy. The drinks for the flights are premade so it's not freshly done but overall it wasn't bad. I just think it's pricy we asked for just extra sriracha sauce and that was an extra charge. The portion size wasn't bad. I just think it's a little too pricy for a chain restaurant.

    Service! 3 of us sat at the bar for breakfast last week. There were only 2 other people there but the waitress spent a lot of time chatting with other staff instead of working. We ordered and one order came out wrong. The bar waitress looked at her slip and said "oops my bad". They were pretty quick to replace it with the correct order. Food quality. Scant potatoes, barely any fruit (which was a substitute for home fries and an upcharge), breakfast sandwich was not hot. Btw, $17 for a simple bacon egg cheese sandwich. When we paid there was a $3 upcharge for some jelly that we never received. Again, waitress looked at her notes and said "my bad". Yup. Your bad. We've established that. Came to $70 for 3 not-fancy breakfasts, 2 coffees, no alcohol. The menu has also been reduced with many favorites removed and they won't make them.(yes-I asked) Wont be back unfortunately.

    Breakfast

    I had breakfast with my 5 year old nephew here today and we had the best sever I have had in such a long time, Reggie. Thank you for being amazing!! She was so friendly and silly with him and we had a wonderful time because of her! Thank you!!

    Friendly Toast Maple Syrup

    We were first-timers today and LOVED everything -- service, food, atmosphere, prices! Our server, Liz, had great suggestions and made our experience wonderful. Try the habanero strawberry jelly! I had a hard time choosing what to order, so I got the breakfast burrito and also a pancake! The portions were generous. My spouse got eggs that were perfectly cooked. Even the coffee was good! Plus, Who doesn't enjoy a mini syrup bottle that is custom prepared for the restaurant? see you next time!

    Okay, we've had a few amazing experiences here lately, so it was time for an updated review for…read moresure. The wings are amazing. We love the ones with everything on them. (Triple Threat?) We've had a few different kinds, and all of them have been perfect. The pizza every single time has been fantastic. The crust is so good, it's not greasy or soggy, and it tastes fresh and really perfect. The burgers and fries are really very good. The mozzarella sticks, though I could do without the stuff they sprinkle on top of them, are perfect. We've dined in and we've taken out. The dining in experience can be a bit loud, with a bustling bar and large parties of children and adults seated at tables, three or four tvs with all different sports going on, and music playing, but it smells so darned good in there, but you have to be in the mood for a crowd if you dine in during a busy time. When you do, the food is hot and fresh, and the beer for those who drink seems nice and cold. Pizza and beer. (Or no beer.) How excellent.

Went through DoorDash asked for everything to be re-delivered said it would be an hour. The food obviously was not picked up originally and had been sitting at grand finale the whole time they realized it gave the new DoorDash, our old food. I called them to let them know. The pizzas were cold. Nothing was remade and they basically denied it telling me this food was made fresh as if I don't know what a cold pizza is. Here's a picture of the bottom of the box that is supposedly freshly made new delivery, decide for yourself

Orders were App was bang bang broccoli- great flavorful change pace from the typical bang bang cauliflower we find at a lot of places. One main was lobster roll on a gluten free bun. Side was sweet potato fries. My wife really enjoyed this dish. Second main was Korean Krispy Chicken side of tater tots. Chicken was cooked correctly and the sauce amazing. Drink was a non alcoholic Guinness. I loved and recommend this dish. Our server came back and checked on us regularly and offered dessert at the end. Now was it worth a $100 lunch after tip? Yes it is. Life is too short to not enjoy yourself. Now eat some great food.

You sit there for 30 minutes and you lose your appetite, causing the restaurant to lose money. Watched multiple people walk in and directly back out even with ample bar space. The food is some of the best I've had at the chain. Love the wings, feta dip, general tsos chicken, and burgers! Drinks and friendly conversation with bartenders is amazing! If you don't make a reservation, don't bother sitting anywhere but the bar. They have 6 hostesses on a given night and not a single one will greet you or act professional. Can't get an accurate wait time aside from "X number of people ahead of you". No communication that upper and lower level seating waits are different. At the end of the day, come here for the bar and decent food. Don't expect air conditioning or appropriate management.

The place has the feel of a local neighborhood pub which has finished wood walls, flooring, & ceiling. There is seating at the full service bar, table seating along the walls, pool table in the back, a musician/karaoke stage in the front corner and TVs throughout the room. There is a patio area out back. They offer nightly entertainment such as DJs, karaoke (Tue), trivia (Wed), and live music. The food menu offers pub fare including appetizers, wings, chips & dips, salads, burger/sandwich plates, quesadillas, tacos, chicken & waffles, pasta, steaks, and desserts. The prices are moderate. The bar offers 12 beers on draft, beer bottles/cans, wine, cocktails & mixed drinks. I stopped by Fonzi's for dinner very recently. I sat up at the bar for prompt service. I got an ice water as I looked over the menu. For an appetizer, the Fried Raviolis ($12 plus tax) had 6 good size fried breaded raviolis filled with cheese including ricotta & seasoning) over a zesty marinara sauce. For dinner, the Basic Bit*h Burger ($18 plus tax) had a thick grilled beef patty with melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, & pickle chips on a thick kaiser bun. The fries were lightly fried and very hot. Both the fried raviolis and thick juicy burger were very good and fries were decent. After I was done, I got the check with Upserve QR code, which was $32.10 with tax and before tip. I was able to pay the check on my phone, as the place was getting busier around 6:30 pm. The service was prompt sitting at the bar and I was able to watch some sports highlights on the TV. I would definitely come back here to try other food on their menu like the coconut shrimp, tacos, and cheese tortellini gratinati with chicken.
