Had amazing food here. Went for a Sunday brunch/lunch. Every dish was perfect and the staff and atmosphere were brilliant. Try the chicken and waffles, you won’t regret it. Buffalo wings were also spot on. The guys serving us were really friendly and chatty. Can’t wait to return and try more on the menu, it all looked great.

Ordered at the bar (wasn’t told whether or not it was table service). Food was very plain, chicken tenders were very overdone, burnt in some places. Staff seemed friendly enough and it was fairly priced.

Our server was very good, always cleared out empty drinks and asked if we wanted another one. Also moved us to a bigger table when one was free which was nice. Ordered the hell burger challenge which said you’d get a photo on the wall of fame when finished. I cleared my plate but wasn’t asked to do a photo : ( disappointing! The burger was great though! Unfortunately my girlfriends food came cold but didn’t send it back as we did wait some time for our food to come, we were starving at that point! The bar was pretty full when we arrived but by the time we left it was very quiet but for some reason the waitress decided to sit at the table next to us and started drying wet cutlery and throwing them inside with the others very loudly! Really not the place to do it and there were plenty other empty tables away from customers that she could have done it at. My partner and I couldn’t even hear one other and the noise was going through us!! Great to try the challenge, disappointing not to go on the wall of fame and the cold food and loud inappropriate noise, don’t think we will be back.

Lovely food, even better service! We ordered a LOT of food: highlights were the wings (delicious), pulled pork burger (huge) and the mac and cheese (delish). What we couldn't eat we were allowed to take away in a carryout box. Service was excellent, really quick and thoughtful by very pleasant people. We took our collies who were given attention, treated nicely and enjoyed their menu choices then a snooze. The bill was quite big - three figures - but drinks are expensive and we are happy to pay more in order to keep places like this going. Will definitely visit again
