On 6/14/2026 Gina A. had this to say:
Very friendly and informative staff. We stopped by for a beer. We decided to try the food since the waiter was so friendly and enthusiastic about their items. We tried the home made mushroom soup. It was the best mushroom soup I've ever had. Very rich and creamy. We had the wings for an appetizer with the Thai chili and blueberry bbq sauces. Blueberry is house made and Both sauces are delicious. I had a half of a order of the corn beef and cabbage with carrots. All were tender, perfect, and delicious. For dessert, we had the beignets with chocolate. We really enjoyed our dinner. Thanks to both the chef, server, and Manager.
