Michael NataleMarch 1, 2016Posted up for a solid burger and some good calamari in November, so I didn't have the al fresco dining experience. Good tap selection and the girls were all cute and very nice in their service.
Dale MasonJune 25, 2011Eggplant burger is great. Mango rumerita is great. Awesome fries. Great time and price. But... Don't sit under the awning when it rains. They may or may not roll it up and dump a waterfall on you.
Jonathan SilvermanJuly 6, 2018Despite great service and a winning location the food is mediocre and there’s a film and stink on all surfaces from the floor on up to the menus. A deep clean and a new chef would help a lot.
Kate ManewichJuly 31, 2013Best honey mustard & sweet potato fries, sit outside and have great views of Church St
John McDermottApril 18, 2015Our Blackened chicken Gorgonzola salad, and brie burger was very good. Great atmosphere sitting outside
J. C.June 18, 2015Burgers, late night. The fact they will serve you food right until the last minute the kitchen is open no questions asked... Servers are hot.
Kirsten AlanaSeptember 25, 2013Don't miss the mural on the wall of this old bank-turned-restaurant. Most of the people depicted are well known residents of Burlington long ago.- Malvin AyalaJanuary 2, 2014The BBQ pulled pork sandwich was delicious! They have a hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps that is amazing !
Mike SoterFebruary 11, 2014The French onion soup is fantastic and the apple/cheddar salad is awesome!
Gary CavanaughJuly 12, 2013Buffalo Wings were really tasty but not really Buffalo. Medium rare burger came really rare and they forgot the bacon. Waitress was good and gave a little discount.
Claire FallonDecember 29, 2012They are making the wings BBQ for me rather than Buffalo even though its not on the menu.
The best chicken fingers...breaded in corn flakes and almonds
Barbara DozetosOctober 8, 2012Finally gave them another try after years of avoiding them. Much improved menu!
John MarottaAugust 7, 2013I tried going there with my wife for lunch today and after being sat in the quiet area of the dinning room we were ignored. 15 minutes and nothing.
Ashley CovelliAugust 23, 2010the mango rumrita is waaaay to sweet, but the sesame crusted tuna w peanut noodles is fantastic!!
Lauren 💜💕💜February 16, 2011During the summer months there are flys all over, I am never eating there again, I'd pass and go to ri ras or any other place on church st
Stephanie WestAugust 2, 2013We didn't arrive until 8pm on a Thursday and service was very slow. Server was pretty inattentive as well and didn't seem to care much about the customer's experience
David AvioliAugust 6, 2011Bartender had a lot of attitude...next time order a water and throw it in his face.
Magic HatDecember 15, 2009Roll up your Shirt Sleeves and dig in. Take a photo in front of the saucy mural.
- Don't order the calamari, it's frozen and fried - not fresh
