Hear from our valued guests
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit with family and friends. The culinary offerings were truly outstanding and presented with a delightful uniqueness. We were especially impressed by the remarkable kindness and helpfulness of the entire staff. It was a memorable experience that we would be delighted to repeat. Thank you for your exceptional hospitality.
The best brisket on the planet, great wings - chicken and pig, phenomenal but messy burgers (but way worth it), yummy dogs, and a great selection of craft beers on draft. Gotta go again and again.
Spent a rainy day enjoying a knucklehead Hamburg & onion rings. Really excellent.. families gathered on top level. They seem to be having fun without disturbing older folks on 1st floor. Interesting building. I will go again!
Everyone had the brisket sandwich, delicious and practically melts in your mouth. I had cold slaw and it is the tasty mayo type. Loved it! Waitress was friendly and came back to refill drinks. Very clean too, loved the historic building.
First time coming here and it won't our last. Service was good and the atmosphere was nice. I order pull pork sandwich that came with onions/ cheese/ bacon/jalapeños with aside order of Fry's plus Fully loaded potato soup that was very delicious. My friend had waffle and chicken sandwich with soup too. Plus we order the Bang bang Shrimp. Everything was so good. Like I said we will be coming back again. So good.
Great food and an extensive tap list of craft beer located in a 100-year old former bank building. Try the char siu pig wings and Nashville hot chicken sandwich. You won't be disappointed.
⭐️⭐️Second review of this awesome place! We went to the new location for dinner! Vibe was cool and our dinner was even better than our lunch! Staff were still awesome! Dinner was fantastic and the menu has so many choices. Must get the corn ribs but everything we had was great! Had lunch here on Saturday and it was great! Didn't get our waitress\Bartender's name but she was super friendly! Staff was awesome and food came out quickly! Burgers were delicious and the poutine and Irish Nachos did not disappoint!
Super cool old bank turned restaurant! Hot dogs are delicious ! Great for a drink and hot dog with fries! Causal spot. Very yummy will definitely come back. Server was great and we were seated right away.
Been wanting to try this place for years. I saw picks of their pig wings on line and they looked real interesting. It's pork on a shank of bone. Turns out it was a good choice. Having them with the BBQ sauce provided was great. I also got a side of mac and cheese and it was very good. My wife got pulled pork and beans which was very good also. Drinks were a Guinness for her and a lager for me. Both from the tap. Not every place in America pours a Guinness the right way but they did. Seemed just as good as what you get in Ireland. My lager was also very good. I would highly recommend this place.
Food was so amazingly good. My favorite were the sweet potato fries. They were crunch and had some sweet layered sauce that was hardened. 100% recommend. The hot dog was also delicious, I clearly forgot to take a photo it smelled so good. Cool place. Unique. Servers were nice. 2 unisex bathrooms was odd but cool.
