This place never disappoints! Its a hidden gem. Its location doesn't help draw more attention. I've been bringing the family here for the last 4 years and never left a review. I was motivated to do it today, cause the service has ALWAYS been exceptional. The staff to management are always courteous, but most importantly the food is always fresh and hot! I've tried almost 70% of the menu items so far and they have all been delicious! The clam chowder, gumbo, pizzas, wings, salads.... I could go on! This place should be on your list to try.

We were seated quickly for Sunday brunch. They have a very extensive menu. There are lots of drinks including a wide selection of wines and beer. The food was hot and good. my nephew was here from Texas and he wanted chicken and waffles. I noticed that they had chicken and waffles on the menu. He said the entree was above average and he would come back.

Loved this place. Had dinner on a Friday night. Was lucky to get a table without reservations. The service was friendly and the food was so good

We were expecting brunch but found out it ended at 3pm. That turned out just fine because our lunch was AMAZING. We ordered a Rockland Salmond ($30) and a City Burger ($18), delicious and very filling!!! The music was old school and fun. Courtney took really good care of us and gave us tons of advice when we weren’t sure on what to order. She took care of all of the tables and bar by herself and did awesome.

This place is one of favorite brunch/lunch spots. The food and service is always top notch. Everyone I take here becomes a fan too. Went for Sunday brunch a few days ago. Was absolutely delicious!

We had some work in the area so we stopped in to give it a try. The food was very good. And the service was great. We will definitely be back to try more.

My wife and I have been here a few times and enjoyed it every time. Some dishes are just okay, such as the chicken Tikka Masala pizza, and others are fantastic, like the chicken sandwich or the deconstructed key lime pie. We've never had any issues with service and we love the menu variety! We will definitely keep coming back to try more off of the menu!
