Customer Reviews

What an awesome hidden gem! All fresh made food from scratch and wonderful fresh beer! I had the smokin burger with beans and it was delicious! My wife had the griddled cheese sammich with added bacon and fries and loved it! Our first time here but not our last! The clam chowder was delicious but different, in a good way not your typical New England style. Did I mention the tiramisu?

Best sandwiches ever! Try the mad Mac with juicy pork and delicious Mac n cheese. Their truffle fries are delicious and probably the best fries I've ever had at a restaurant. My only complaint is that you have to order the truffle fries separately and cannot upgrade the side with your meal.

If you are in town for family, friends, or just passing through, this spot is nothing shy of a diamond in the rough! This restaurant is the definition of mom and pop. The food and services is put on by the owners, and DAMN can they cook! Had a ribeye that knocked my socks off (I'm usually disappointed when I eat steak at a restaurant because I can usually do it better at home) and my wife and chicken Marsala that was just to die for. Nice cold beer on tap and red wine was above average. Fully stocked bar if you'd like a cocktail. It's good it all! If I could give more stars I would. 10/10 would recommend!

This waa my first time. I absolutely LOVE mac & cheese. I have been waiting to try theirs for quite some time but my timing was off & they were closed whenever I happened to drive by. I only tried their mac & cheese, which is a wonderful foundation for their other menu selections. Our relationship has only just begun. I will be back to try almost everything on their menu. I am not indecisive in the way that most women are with food. They cant decide what thry want out of being picky.....on the other hand I cannot narrow down what I want. I usually narrow it down to three selections. If from there I cannot make a decision......I then ask my server, the hostess or both what they would choose for themselves. No problem deciding here. I knew exactly what I wanted & it was yummy. This is comfort food at its finest. Highly recommended by me...... 4 SURE!!! Enjoy!!!!
