Testimonials

On 5/31/2026 Janalee Crowell had this to say:
Cute little pub. We had really good service and I enjoyed the food. Mine was a Strawberry Pecan salad and hubby's was a Cheeseburger with their homemade coleslaw. They have a nice bar area and a small gameroom area.

The food was very good. Everything came out together. Everything was nice and hot. Everything was very tasty. The service was great. We were greeted when nothing but smiles and she knew the menu well. she recommended what we ate. We ate the special. The atmosphere was beautiful. It was outside in the street in a nice, warm sun under a nice umbrella. I'd recommend it to anybody in the area. It was very good food and it was a good time.

Omg try the breaded mushrooms! They're ginormous with amazing crispy breading & homemade garlic parmesan ranch for dipping. Had a Rueben-corned beef was tender & flavorful, great marbled rye. Service was top notch. So glad we tried it.

You’ve got to stop in and try the bourbon bacon Bloody Mary. It comes with a piece of thick-cut bacon.

Food was good. House made chips are awesome. Had the Rueben. It was awesome. Cheese was meaty & gooey, corned beef & sauerkraut was yummy. We sat at the bar & was served by Taylor. She was nice, polite
