It took a while to get our food. I got the Fish 'N Chips, but it was amazing. The shameful burger is about the size of the Fish 'N Chips, for comparison on actual size. All-in-all, it was amazing, just a bit slow, because they're understaffed. Be careful of the lunch rush.
TL;DR 45 Min for food, worth it.
Fun place to visit and interesting decor. Service was spotty and those at the bar got first dibs on service. One item on our order was presented to us after we had finished our entire meal, and just before we were ready to leave. Nice waitress so maybe the cook was delayed? No idea, but I'd say one visit was fun but even the food was just okay, so now I can say I have given it a try!
Update: 4/14/24 - Been going here on Sunday's for the Last couple of weeks being that we live close by. I always have a good time and meet new people. Erica (bartender/server) is the best (and gorgeous!) along with the "early" bartender/server (sorry, I don't know her name) always makes us feel welcome. Single pizza is always great, as are the Buffalo Wings. Thanks again for making us feel welcome.
Went to watch a football game. Had wings, pretzel and several drinks. Bartender was a cutie. (Wish I was younger! 😋) People seemed nice. A little pricey but I had a nice time. I'm new to the area and felt very welcomed. Now to go back and try the restaurant side.
I really enjoyed my meal. The prime rib was phenomenal! It was better than I have had at some steak houses. Although the options are limited to Medium to well done, it was still delicious.
They have shuffleboard one of my favorite games. I played with my friend and we had a blast!
The crowd was very diverse and I met a lot of cool people including some Marines and a fellow Nordedsman.
There was one interaction that I didn't care for though. I asked one of the bartenders a simple question about the decor. That person turns out was the owner. She berated me and was very angry and sharp with her tongue. She personally attacked me and was looking for a verbal confrontation. I simply said OK. In agreement with her and left it at that. That is not the way to treat new customers, and surely not by the owner of the establishment.
Overall my experience was good and the food and drinks were great. I just wish the owner was more friendly to her customers.
To start, the food choice I had for dinner was a flat iron steak with a small garden salad. The salad was very nicely presented and good to eat with the balsamic vinaigrette and getting the medium rare flat iron steak was presented with the right temperature although the flavor was barely there in freshness.
Going for the vibe of the place, I was met with some other customers around their 60's who lived around the area on the 27th of February and although I tried to make small talk, it didn't avail much and if you're usually alone, it's best to enjoy the food with those whom you know. Otherwise, everyone was friendly and the vibe which I sensed was very calm and an overall positive atmosphere.
In conclusion, the area was clean, the server was friendly and the food in which I give my verdict, is around 4 stars rating because of feeling the steak could be better prepared with some ingredients of crushed garlic and the usual salt and pepper if massaged into the steak. But for the restaurant? They're great! I would definitely look forward to seeing them again.
