About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
  • Good for business meals
Our mission? Great people helping other great people totally have a blast while enjoying amazing food. Wow, that was a mouthful. But can you blame us? We’re a restaurant. One that specializes in delicious food and great times. Our goal is to make you laugh. And depending on your hot sauce tolerance, cry.

In all seriousness, we take real pride in our food. Try our Cluckin’ Fresh Chicken Fingers, made and seasoned with fresh, never frozen chicken tenders. This isn’t run-of-the-mill pub grub. Our Band of Chefs are influenced by a wide variety of tastes and have travelled across the globe to gain inspiration.

But outside of the kitchen, we find it hard to take ourselves seriously. We have an Elvis booth. For no particular reason. Folks, that really does say it all. We’re sports fanatics, music nuts and love a good joke. If you’re into at least one of those things, we should hang out.

    No hostess at the front to greet people walking in, waited 10 minutes and still nothing, server walked by us looking clueless and did not bother to help, called the restaurant from inside the restaurant, still no answer, then finally 2 hostesses came at once and we were finally seated at our table. Very poor start to dinner but the rest was flawless: food, service, atmosphere and value. We almost left, but glad we didn’t. Way to recover, that was a close one!

    Food was good but my dish was a bit too salty for my taste. The noise level was very high also.

    We ordered calamari expecting calamari, not a mixture of fried onions. There weren’t very many pieces of calamari- it was all friend onions and a few jalapeños thrown in. Everyone in our party ordered something different and the food arrived together. All the machines were down so it took a lot longer to get food and the bill at the end. The ambiance was nice as they just went through a million dollar makeover.

    Great service. Food was fantastic! Also SUPER fast, especially considering the business level. My girlfriend and I went at 5:45 pm and arrived to a full house and we were still in and out within an hour. Amazing job from the team. As someone else who works in hospitality, I was very impressed. Thank you for a wonderful time.

    Always enjoyed eating at this spot . Since the renovations the establishment should invest in some blinds . Where we we’re sitting the sun was directly shining on my face .
