This roadside eatery is more lounge with sports tv on one side and more family style restaurant on the other. Strong suits are breads and desserts. Chocolate cake is decadent. The entrees are not impressive and my oysters were HUGE and undercooked. More

Generous portions, and you're likely to see someone you know if you live around town. Friendly prompt service, known as a good BBQ place among my friends, but I had salad... More

Lunch is OK, but dinner is overpriced and really not very good! More

I have eaten here several times over the last ten years. This is not downtown Manhattan, but it is a very solid middle-priced restaurant with consistently good food. The salads are always good and every meal is accompanied by home-made cranberry bread. Service is always good as well. This is a great alternative to over-priced seafood closer to Old Town... More

My husband and I have been twice in the past three weeks. Love the owners...love the wait staff...and the burgers are to die for. This is fast becoming one of our favorite places. Keep room for dessert....they are made on site and absolutely wonderful. More

I ordered a top sirloin steak extra well done. When it was serrved, it was pink all the way through and bleeding. I think that is medium rare. I was hungry, so I started eating the baked potato and veggies. When I finally got the attention of the young waitress, she took the entire plate back to the kitchen. I... More

My husband got the cheapest thing on the menu (that had meat on it) It was either the chicken or the shrimp alfredo. It was 15 something. The linguine was stuck together and NOT al dente it was extra squishy and bland, you shouldn't have to salt a cheese sauce. And the waitress was hijacking our friend, who is a... More

I have been on business in town for a few weeks. They age their steaks for 21 days and they are delicious. Have had Prime Rib, Porterhouse and Rib Eye and have not been disappointed. The French Dip with mushrooms and cheese is also awesome, perfect au jus. Ribs are also good. More

Not a bad place but the service is less than desirable seems that if the service is bad and you don't tip the next time around the service is worse. To top it off the owner appears not to return calls so has no desire to correct his service deficiency. The food was fair but the burgers are on par... More

I made the mistake of going to this restaurant without reading any of the reviews. Had I done so I would have probably saved myself the dissapointment. I'm going to have to agree with the most recent review in saying that the only good thing about this place was the hostess. She was very friendly and outgoing and the only... More
