    Good selection of draft beer, that’s cold and reasonably priced. Servers were all very friendly and worked together well. We went 3 times in one week, had fish tacos, burgers, and coconut shrimp. All were fresh and delicious. I did not particularly care for the fries, they were shoestring and not seasoned. But others in my group loved them that way. All our food was really good. We arrived around 4-4:30 and it was crowded with locals who seem to stay a while. Just makes it hard to get a table. But worth waiting. They have inside and outside seating too.

    Enjoyed a Guinness, mozzarella sticks, steak sandwich, and fries with family. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Good prices and quality of food. Atmosphere was fun, with lots of things to attract the eye and spark conversations. Definitely worth a return visit!

    Love the atmosphere and the people Dog friendly. Covered seating and picnic tables but no indoor seating. Live music now and then. Owners are good people as are the servers. Food is fresh. Daily specials. Beer wine and various canned specialty drinks. No liquor. See photos. ...
