They have a variety of pretzels, including delicious spicy jalapeno and cinnamon. Everything on the menu is cooked perfectly and always comes out hot, including the flaky fish and chips. I recommend this place to everyone I know.

Yummy Italian beef! Quite possibly the best green beans I've ever had! The bloody mary could have been better. We enjoyed the sports murals all over the walls. Fun atmosphere!

Great new place! Lots of screens and good beer selection for all of your sports watching! The traditional wings are lightly breaded and properly cooked. Do not skip the mozzarella stick appetizer as they are incredible. I am looking forward to coming back to take pictures of all the sports related art work for my next post.

Reasonably price and tasty food. We got burgers that were just on point. I got the bench warmer burger with chicken instead of burger meat. It was like a delicious tradition Hawaiian sandwich. The service was on point as well . Love the wall of sports. Great art work.
