Can’t say enough good about this place. Food was great, service was great, drinks were cold and the locals made you feel at home. Can’t wait to get back. Read a review that someone seen a Trump sign and wouldn’t be back, well that’s why we stopped in the first place! Glad we did, and you will be too! Thanks again for everything, see you soon!

Went for Taco Tuesday and the tacos were awesome. The remodeling inside is a great update and makes it a much better experience. The pizza here is also great and they have specials as well. Watch the Facebook page for the weekly deals.

My wife and I went there last night. Walked into a bunch of very welcoming people. We ordered probably one of the best pizzas we’ve ever had. Stacy The owner, was Absolutely fantastic and accommodating, even though it was close to closing time. Had a bunch of good conversations with everybody. Some of the patrons even came up just to introduce themselves to us. It was pretty cool.
