An easy congregatable location with food pub food for happy hour. Wednesday had $8 for 1lb of wings. Try their fussy cowboy bear. Peach hints...really good! Nice waitresses.

Really enjoyed sharing the BBQ player with my husband! Corn was amazing and hubby loved the Mac and cheese when he added the smoky bbq sauce to it. All the meat cooked to perfection too! Good amount of gluten friendly menu options, loads of beers to chose from, and our server was very friendly. The restauraunt also got super busy around 12:30 so we got a table just in time!

I spent some time here the other day waiting to line up for an event at The Palace. Our first server was Annie. She was super friendly, welcoming and attentive. After she went off shift Priscila looked after us. She was super sweet and checked on us often. They had some great happy hour specials. Tried the babe bites and mac and cheese. Both were delicious.

Excellent service from friendly attentive staff. We only had a couple of burgers because we were watching Arsenal getting beaten by AFC Bournemouth and didn’t really read menu! Read menu when match had finished and it is great. We missed out and will definitely go back to try one of their platters. Thanks again for helping us out with the football (soccer!)

Hi there, I don't typically write reviews but had to with this visit. First time eating there, with some gf's and had by far the best service from a waitress, her name was Tanisha. She was so beautiful and polite, food was out in such a fast turn around with no mistakes to our order and we never went thirsty. This place has great food, but the atmosphere and service was what I loved.

Very large selection of beer, patient waitresses (given our level of English), simple but good dishes all for a fair price. Pub and sports atmosphere. We went there twice and had the same impressions both times.
