The food was definitely fresh and tasty. The prices were very reasonable. My burger was excellent, and French fries were crisp. The service was friendly and not overpowering. I felt the burger was a little over seasoned (salty). I like my food plain, and then I can season to my choice. It was a little loud. But it is a young person's pub/bar, so that is to be expected. Overall, a 21-34 year-old looking for a hang out would enjoy the food, pricing and sports bar atmosphere. - Michael Tanner
