Watermelon Salad and Truffle French Fries are a must!
Tod HallMay 13, 2010
Yum and yummer. Food is always great (and comforting), and staff members are incredibly friendly (low attitude). Love it.

Great food even better eye candy!

Fish tacos are some of the best in the city.

Awesome cocktails but overall this place is pricy for mediocre food.

Fried chicken, meatloaf, swordfish.

Delicious and cheap bloody Mary! Spicy, salty rim, and only $6.50.
John FridaySeptember 22, 2018
Not too many vegetarian options but my salad was perfect.
Dave SilverstoneJanuary 8, 2012
The (slightly) less pretentious and overpriced alternative locals hit instead of Cafeteria. Bigger tables for parties and more room for socializing and showing off ensure its continued popularity.
Donna YeeYickDecember 14, 2012
Great time had by all. The lounge is nice and spacious!

Happy Pride! ❤️
Thomas HellmerApril 23, 2013
Not really sure cilantro is the proper herb for tuna burger. Cilantro is overpowering. With every bite all you taste is raw cilantro. Not a winner. Frozen Margaritas tastes like frozen $11 water.
Sebouh YegparianFebruary 21, 2010
make sure to check out the pulled pork sandwich. damn, that was good! and a fun place to hang! Read more
Matt BowenAugust 18, 2014
