Burgers, Chicken and Waffle, Felafel burger all very good. Would not recommend the Crab Po'Boy, it was very short on filling and the bread just wasn't good. The atmosphere is great, very unique and enough of a noise level to allow conversations to be heard but not overheard. Service was fantastic, our server Amy was spot-on.

Golden burger is amazing. It’s a hamburger not a cheeseburger and it’s the best burger around!! Mussels and frites were fantastic too. Had the fried pepperoni and feta whip that was great. Food seems really good. Have gluten free rolls / buns which one in our party needed so thumbs up. Ambiance is fine not great or bad. Noise typical of other neighborhood bar restaurants. See why a lot of people like to go here regularly. We go 3-4 times a year.

Everything from the Old Fashions to the incredible burgers was absolutely delicious! I had the Burger of the Month and it was the best burger I have ever had with its truffle aioli. The fries were also crispy and well seasoned. We got the salted caramel cake for dessert, and I wish we had ordered two pieces because it’s way too good to share! Cannot wait to return (going for brunch this weekend)!
