    I lived on this block. Don't let the traditional bar fool you. The food is good. Corn fritters and also the flank steak is excellent, if you wanna pay a little more. Harvey and Richie are great!

    Have only been here once so far, we can't wait to go back for more food. The steak is really good, cooked to perfection ! Get it medium rare just as the Chef recommends ;)

    Great little local restaurant. Nice staff. They’re trying their best to stay safe and still offer good food. If you’re craving burger, pulled pork or fish and chips after a give them a try!

    The pulled pork sandwich blew me away. Heavy on the sauce but well worth it. One of the best I've ever had. Hot open turkey sandwich was thoroughly enjoyed by people with me too. I would come again!

    Love this place. If you're in Beacon for the day or weekend you should totally stop by here for lunch or dinner. It's family-owned and the vibe is great and food is yummy. Generous portions too!

    The burger is really tasty but finishing it is a challenge. Split it with a friend and live to fight another day.

    Highly recco the Main & Walnut. Kind of like candy in adult beverage form but not sickly sweet. Nachos are huge and delicious. 1st time here. will def be back to eat our way thru the menu.

    A fantastic place. This is the quintessential locals pub. Five beers on draught but there's an extensive basic bottles menu. If you're reading this, you'll love it.

    The right dinner choice for Beacon. The Perogis and Onion soup were as good as people say. We really enjoyed the steak and pulled pork sandwiches.

    I recommend trying "Max's almost famous sauce" on your wings -- there's a little Asian kick (sweetness) with their hot sauce.

    Jesse is the best (and he's honest about the mozzarella sticks, too). Get the pierogis and tip your bartender.

    For cocktails, try a Maxtini - a play on a Cosmo that add grapefruit juice for kick of sour-sweet flavor.

    Chicken Caesar wrap is phenomenal, and so big it becomes 2 meals.. for under $10. This place never disappoints.

    The Rib Eye Steak is never a disappointment!! (I leave off the Shallot Compound Butter - the steak is so good it's just not needed!!)

    Try the Teriyaki hot wings. They're technically not on the menu so you have to ask for them specifically.

    Food wasn't as good as I had hoped, service seemed a little checked out. Looks like it would be fun during a big sporting event, they have the space and TVs for it.

    The beef stew (which is only occasionally offered as a special) should not be missed.

    don't cram the entire fry into your mouth, yes they are delicious but they are also very hot and will burn your palate.
