Loved this place! The habanero garlic wings were SO GOOD. They reminded me of a spicy teriyaki a bit if you're into that (I am). The ranch was really tasty too! I'm OBSESSED with the fries. I kept dipping the fries in the wing sauce & ranch (trust me do it!) the beef on weck was good,but will definitely get more wings next time. I feel like the beef on weck would be good with a creamy horseradish sauce vs the plain horseradish (personal opinion, it was still good). Drinks were great. LOVED the atmosphere & location!

First time here. Great wings and cheaper beers. Bartender rocked she served an entire packed bar by herself. Great place to have a drink.

We absolutely love this place! It does get busy, especially on game days, so plan accordingly. Be sure to get there early before they run out of beef. The beef on weck is on point! And, we always get the pizza logs and fries too! They were out of beef on our last visit but everyone enjoyed their burgers and the chicken tender sandwich was juicy and crispy too.

The food here is INCREDIBLE. Burgers, wings, beef of weck... seriously, everything here is amazing. The bar is an awesome and hidden gem for service industry workers. Please come by, have a shot, a beer, and a burger. You won't regret it.

Great food, the beef on weck was excellent! Fast service too.

First time visitor and will definitely be back again!!! Philly Cheese Steak sandwich was amazing! Flavourful and filling....the handcut fries were served piping hot and delicious.... the wedge salad (pictured) is an excellent selection as well.... a hole in the wall and worth the visit....order at the bar and they bring it to you!!!!

Great place to stop and grab a bite to eat and a drink, especially after or during a game. The food was delicious and im excited to try the Philly next! My buddy says they are rather delicious

The chicken tenders just melted in my mouth & the fries are to die for! My husband got the beef on a wek & he absolutely loved every bite. The service was fast, the food was hot & excellent! Can’t wait to go back.
