A true neighborhood gem. Great food and drinks, and friendly staff. Come on Monday evenings between 8pm-midnight to catch some live jazz.
Michael IdellNovember 28, 2013Any awesome joint for drinks, dinner and entertainment!!!! If anyone would like to meet a great down to earth individual, ask to speak with the owner! This will be my local hang out!
Monday nights - when local jazz musicians come into jam - are the best! They start slow and get better as the night goes on. Look for Andrea - jazz flautist - she is amazing.Upvoted 4 weeks ago
Warren DorseyMay 17, 2012Brunch is great. The Sausage Gravy and Biscuits, the Pancakes and the French toast were awesome. Great staff and the owner is outstanding.- Mondays So Fun!! There's a Great Jazz Trio playing starting at 8pm. It's the Most Fun! The Food is Divine and The Service is Excellent! ❤️
Jonathan PitreAugust 28, 2013Every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month there is a Latin Night with a free salsa/bachata dance lesson from 8-9. Nice atmosphere
Holly JonesJanuary 17, 2017$20 brunch includes muffins, entree, and 3 mimosas or bloody Mary's. Very worth it.
Mr. RayAugust 25, 2016Absolutely one of our fav spots in JC! Everyone is always friendly, great happy hour and the owner rocks!
Snooty WaiterSeptember 9, 2011The cheesecake lollipops are delicious. Say hi to Tommy the owner while you're there. He wants to talk to everyone there and make sure they're having a good time.
Denise CarlonNovember 29, 2011Tommy Two-Scoops will have someone drive you to the light rail in the free shuttle. Awesome apps and prices, charming owner. A JC must!
Cheryl KacsmarAugust 29, 2013The wings were great. Leon the bartenders me feel like a regular!! He makes an awesome drink too!!
Amy Johnson CookJanuary 5, 2013Still finding it niche and Sandy didn't help at all but brunch options are great and the owner is super attentive.
Intimate/cozy spot. Staff is friendly as well as the crowd. Great mix- Texas burger & pulled pork sandwich are absolutely delicious.
- A RaoSeptember 11, 2011Tried the fish and chips, half rack, and too hot burger, and they were phenomenal . Love the place
- Say hello to Tommy if you see him and order a duck burger!
lino brescia™September 29, 2022Terrible Service!!! The worst bartending experience ever. All of them were completely lost. No one knew how to work the payment system, they couldn’t competently pour a drink. Wow. Stay away.
Slammin Penne!! The BBQ sliders are mouth watering also.
Krystyna GolebiewskiMarch 27, 2012Good food. Service is slow and disorganized- every time. We keep hoping it will improve. Lunch just can't be 2 hours long.
Lakisha BrownNovember 21, 2014They ight but the barmaids are shady and the owner is a sweetheart... 😉
- Krystyna GolebiewskiMay 9, 2012So we walked in at 12:05, ordered a soup and grilled chicken salad. 40 minutes later still no salad. But the guy that came way after was already eating his burger. Really?!
