The best pastrami of your life
John MundyNovember 28, 2010
Get the brisket or roast beef. Stay away from the meatball sandwich - 2 meatballs, sauce & bread. Decent pumpkin pie.
Livia Ching GerringMarch 8, 2013

Signage for the restrooms = confusing. And had I known where it was located I would of had my pepper spray ready in hand. Never will go to the restroom alone here again.

I was a bit disappointed with the buffalo stew which was supposed to be their specialty. I was also told that I had to order a drink if I was going to sit at a table. However the ambience was unique.

I got very sick after eating here. There's a reason it's so cheap.

Not a vegetarian? Then this place is for you. Cafeteria style food, but so cheap, so good. And a fantastic selection of beer.
RyanMarch 3, 2010
Order the turkey sloppy joe - get pickles from the barrel - with a pilsner urquell for less that 8 bucks
Mia DDecember 26, 2010
CASH ONLY! However you don't need a lot of cash, their portions can satisfy even the biggest appetites.
Meredith SweetFebruary 17, 2010
Cash only, so be prepared. Also, watch the bartender make any mixed drink you order, since they tend to be more flavoring and less beverage.
Josh KJanuary 29, 2013

Cash only. ATM located inside.
Mish BOctober 14, 2012

Note to self: corn beef > pastrami. Pastrami is way too salty.
