    Great place to order food from. My coworkers and I all got the tenders and fries for lunch. We were full and ready to go home. Everything is delicious from the food, drinks, and vodka infused pineapple slices!

    Went there specifically for the short return of the Torpedo. Unfortunately everyone at our table ordered fries and all were cold.

    Everything was delicious and fresh tasting. BBQ wings were fresh and hot. The Sicilian pizza was awesome. The fish and chicken tenders taste good. We sampled the Nachos as well. Our drinks were good. Plenty of seating areas, even a small patio off of Main St. Park in the back behind the restaurant or there's parking across the street. Our waitress wad pleasant and attentive. The restroom was clean and they offered free women's sanitation devices. Plenty of tv's for viewing.
