Great Dinner, we went on Sunday and they had lots of football specials (sliders, nachos, wings). I just wanted a simple burger but it was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had!! Great kids menu with many choices. I also had wings and clam chowder — both delicious. Fabulous food and great service. Everything I’ve had there has been excellent (I’ve had lobster roll and pastas in the past at Biggies). Highly recommend for a football Sunday.

Awesome experience. Staff could not be more professional or accommodating, and also so friendly. As a Giants PSL owner, who gets nothing for investing in the Stadium, at least they let me pay to enter a club for 2 hours where then the public has access to the club. I really ask myself everyday, "Why did I invest in a New York Giants PSL ??
