Brian BarrAugust 1, 2017Great staff! AWESOME beer choices! Wonderful service! Exceptional food! I'm here for the volleyball however I stay for more.
Amy RobertsonMay 28, 2016The fish fry is tasty (I like the perch), the pretzels are brushed with butter (mmmm) and somehow the rye bread is a standout
Linds EllisJuly 25, 2017Wow! Onion burger. So so so juicy and delicious. The waffle fries with tons of ketchup, must!
Dexter's just renovate the bar area - and added more tap lines! Come in an check out the 24 beers on tap!
Good food & great tap selections. Beers can be pricey but they are often rare.
Erik LaingDecember 11, 2013First come, first serve on seating so come early an plant your ass in a seat is the rule.
The food is excellent. Come for the beer but don't skip the food.
Ken LoveNovember 13, 2017If you have a food allergy or intolerance they will not help you at all and the wait staff do not care. I was put in the emergency room because of this. Don't touch this place with a ten foot pole.
Jen HolmesMarch 31, 2010Best Ruben in town. Good fries, avoid the chili garlic fries, tho. They're tossed in (even more) oil...
Don't expect to get your order promptly. Food is good but it takes some time.
