Draft selection is always rotating, and they always have something exceptional. Service in the bar area is the best in town. Wish I lived closer, this would be my neighborhood haunt.

Corned beef & cabbage was great, and the Taco Salad is always a good choice!

Love the steak sandwich at lunch, no bread fred for dinner, and the uptown pizza for bar food. (And Shawn and Kathy are awesome)

Great food, better beer, Kathy is the best bartender ever, be patient.... sometimes the dining room service is a touch slow... but worth the wait. I love this place!

Food was a disappointment, sever dropped off the food and was gone, not busy so no excuse there, ribs were overlooked so tough it was hard to even cut them with a knife.....

Had shrimp alfredo for the 1st time a few weeks ago & it was phenomenal! Came back for it tonight & it wasn't even close to what it was before. Major disappointment. And they don't have Mascato :(

Haven't been here since last spring. French onion soup was disappointing. Sent the side salad back because the lettuce was brown & smelled funky. The rueben ,soso. Waitstaff sucked. FAIL

Way, way too slow for lunch. You need at least an hour because of the slow service.
