Love this place, lived across the street from them about 7 years ago and found ourselves back in town so we had to stop by. Still one of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten, and any of their corned beef entries are always on point.

The food experience was ok. Nothing super special and not disappointing. Like an everyday dining and sports bar experience. Appreciate the outside options and inside distance seating. The drink menu was extensive and there were some great options. Overall not too bad
