When three of our drinks had straws already in them, we were a little surprised, but when one of us asked for a straw and a server brought one over in her hand with no paper on it, we were flabbergasted. The food was average and the service was less than expected. The server apologized for not being a good server but was pleasant. It was a weird experience overall.
I ordered two fish dinners to go for my daughter and I. They were done very quickly And even though they did not have their normal type of fish, it was amazing! We got mahi-mahi instead of Haddock because that is what they had. We got three generous size tenders that were breaded with an awesome batter. My daughter got french fries and broccoli and I had a baked potato and coleslaw. Under 40$ and so so good! The girl that gave me my order was so sweet and invited us back! We will definitely be going back!
We stopped by for dinner on a Saturday evening after riding the local train. The restaurant has street parking only but it is free. The area is a bit run down but that comes with the territory. Stepping inside the atmosphere feels modern and pleasant. Nice bar area, dining room, and billiards room. The volume can be a bit loud but that is more other parties being raucous and disrespectful not the restaurant. The service was a bit slow BUT the restaurant had several large groups being served so understandably they can only do so much. The staff was nice and apologized for the wait. The menu is typical bar fare that's buzzy but enticing. Appetizers like Elote (street corn) dip, buffalo chicken dip, fried veggies. Mains from salads, burgers, pizza, wings, bbq, to sandwiches and some pasta entrees. Very interesting looking dessert and drinks options as well! My party ordered the kid's pasta and meatball (no sauce as my kids are picky), chicken caesar salad, Pittsburgh salad, cuban sandwich, Drake burger, ruben, and short rib grilled cheese. Food did come in waves but portions were large for the price and filling. The kid pasta was massive! Huge portion of pasta and a tennis ball sized meatball and a piece of garlic bread. The pasta and garlic bread was good but the meatball was odd tasting and unpleasant. The sandwiches and burger were well received and everyone enjoyed the flavor. Food temperatures were a bit off, nothing hot either warm or lukewarm, but again large party so you can't hold that against them. The ruben was particularly well received and the fries were great. The salads were also surprisingly good. The Pittsburgh salad has steak and fries and was a huge portion. Really great flavors too! The chicken caesar was smaller than the Pittsburgh but had grilled chicken on top with croutons and parmesean. The flavor and dressing of the salad was on point no complaints, decent amount of salad as well. The only issue was the chicken was way overdone and hard in a few spots. Despite that issue I still ate the entire plate. I enjoyed the experience as did my party and would recommend giving them a try. Great folks and the food was solid. My only real note for improvement is having vegetarian/vegan option like a sandwich or wrap.
