I'm glad, because with it being slightly off the 'main drag' in Middletown, we might not have seen it otherwise. We arrived towards the end of the dinner rush hour, and fortunately were seated over by where a musician was playing. It was a busy night, and we were tired and hungry from a day at the faire. As it was busy, there were sportsball games going and the musician playing, shouting was required for discussion and we had some funny misunderstandings YOUR GRAPE IS ON THE MOON? WHAT? Oh, your gravy is a little cool! :) The musician was great, playing lots of 70s and 80s hits, and he seemed to enjoy us singing along and dancing. We are, after all, rennies. We're glad he was enjoying us as much as we were enjoying his music. We got drinks and menus quickly, and our server was attentive without being pushy. After a few minutes looking over the menu, she appeared and we ordered. I got the Stampede Burger, while one of my friends got the Prime Dip sandwich (AKA French Dip), and one got chicken fingers. All came in reasonable time and were quite good, hearty food. So, why the one star off? Dessert. Could we have a brownie sundae? Out of brownies. OK, how about chocolate cake? Out of that, too. Uh...red velvet? Out. Basically everything chocolate. Sigh. Yeah, it was busy but not insane. We ended up not getting dessert, and it was disappointing. Whoever's managing food orders and prep, please do better. Also, if it's not available, it would have been great for the server to say so up front, that way she didn't have to tell us no 3 times. Parking in a private lot, plentiful. We would go again, we just will plan on dessert elsewhere.

A middletown gem. Ive passed this place quite a few times and a late night craving yesterday turned…read moreinto a visit last night and today lol we went durning video bingo night, which is every Tuesday. The bar was full and most of the tables in the dining area were full. We opted to sit towards the front that has a few booths. Also, the place is a "Seat Yourself" establishment. The customer service was amazing, as both of our waitresses were the sweetest. We ordered Lemon Pepper wings, Jerk Chicken Empanadas, and Tuscan Chicken. We also had these watermelon mocktails the bartender whipped up for us that were sooooo good. Although the food took a long time to come out, it was certainly worth the wait! The wings were cooked and seasoned to perfection. The Tuscan Chicken was good and well portioned also. However, the star of the show was the Jerk Chicken Empanadas! They must have marinated that chicken for at least 1-2 days because the jerk taste was so powerful. Tasted like it was made on the streets of Jamaica. The sauce that comes with it was the perfect pairing as well. The food was so good, I went back the next day with my husband so he could try. They also have DJ's on Fridays and I believe Karaoke on Thursdays. I will for sure be visiting again to try more from their menu.

Such a mixed review & experience. We made reservations for Sunday brunch and glad we did as the…read moreplace got crowded quickly. On one hand I want to try again for dinner but for the price, I'm not sure it's worth it. Pros: Amazing service - very attentive server(s); we had one in training/shadowing and she was just as good as our primary server, offering refills, clearing plates, overall greet banter Cocktails are fantastic - had the Minnie Ripperton and loved it - creamy yet refreshing and bright which is a tough combo to achieve Cons: Hidden entrance - after circling what looked like an abandoned building 2x we finally figured out the entrance was in the backy and down a set of stairs. I now understand the "speakeasy vibe" but the clutter in the front made the building look abandoned or under construction; not a great start to the experience for us Food service - the other couple we were dining with got their entrees about 10 minutes before ours and we were some of the first orders & diners of the day. Usually you might hold the whole table or refire some of the dishes so it all comes out at the same time. They finished theirs before we even got our to start, making it a strange eating experience Small print menu - with the low light of the speakeasy, the menu had the teeeeniest print I've ever seen making it very difficult to read the menu options. We also didn't realize that the menu changes/is seasonal (not called out on the website) so many of the items we had wanted to try were not an available option. I love a menu that changes but hope it's indicated on the website (aka: sample menu, subject to seasonal change) Hit-n-miss: Fried chicken Benedict- huge portions, amazing biscuits and perfectly poached (but unseasoned?) eggs. I don't know if the hollandaise soaked into the fried chicken or never existed at all - and that's the thing you want with a Benedict. If it existed, it never reached the biscuits because while they were good, but were completely dry Shrimp and grits - perfectly cooked, great consistency, but very under-seasoned Water - just an observation and maybe it's just the local tap water flavor but it tasted off or as off the soap hadn't been washed from the glasses Pro Tip: be aware of the automatic gratuity in some circumstances; if you don't know, check the website before your meal!

We used to eat here often. I ordered food to go the last two times I was there, one night and the sign said they had a burger special, but I was told they were sold out of the burger special but I could buy a burger at regular price off the menu... I thought that was strange. The next time I checked the website and noticed they had wings on special that day. I ordered in person, but, I was told the wings were only available at that price during happy hour. The sign they had posted showed that it was all day. She then said the special was only available for dine in. Needless to say, we haven't been back for a couple months.

The place is always crowded for dinner with some wait times to be expected but if you're a party of 2, head to the bar....very good service and almost no wait!

We got two drinks and they were both superb. I wish I had gotten a picture or even remembered the name of it but they certainly did the job. I got the habanero chicken slider and my boyfriend got the cheesesteak. They both came with fries and were delicious. I will say for the price, I was expecting the portion size to be a tad bit bigger or fuller however the taste was amazing. It was seasoned well and super juicy. The fries were my absolute favorite kind of fries too!

The bathrooms are always clean as well. When you first come in, you choose what type of water you'd like; tap, spring, seltzer...I think. Prices have gone up, but I guess they have everywhere. Meanwhile, it's important to make sure quality is up to par as well. There have been times, as stated before when the food was fine. However, other examples follow: once my husband's soup came out with broth and rice, no meat. The waiter told the manager, who just... shrugged. Now, after this, I'm done. My husband is the one who insists on going back. Another time a drink came and it was horrible, but ok... you take your chances. This last time, I ordered fish and chips. It came out burnt and salty. Now I can pretend it's well done, but the saltiness, no ma'am. The waitress asked if I wanted something else, I didn't. She said that she would only be able to discount it, not take it off the check. I agreed to the discount. The discount ended up being 5%... for food that ended up in the trash. I can promise you I won't be back. But, I don't think it's fair to give less than 3 stars bc you might catch them on a good day.

I ordered the chicken thighs, which is a rare treat to find on a menu. My only disappointment was that they were a bit overcooked and dried out. Perhaps it was the time of day, but who knows. Other than that, I would come back and try another dish someday.
