Order with a friend and split the brussels sprouts, chicken wings, and the meatloaf sandwich. Killer comfort food!

The only place I know that forces me to eat a giant bowl of brussel sprouts to myself. They are that good. Also, meatloaf sandwich.

For a more relaxed afternoon opt for brunch in the front room. The noise level in the dining room is deafening.
