My wife and I went for dinner to celebrate our one year anniversary. The food was excellent, the server was courteous and prompt, and the atmosphere was clean, rustic and relaxed. The steak tips are very, very good. Everything was great! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I go here often, and want to support their business and it 's with a heavy heart and even heavier stomach I have to say that their food is alright but I would avoid them completely on sundays, during any busy time or near closing. Every time I order food during one of these times my order is either wrong, undercooked/messed up or i literally get food poisoning (im up at 4 am completely sick from their food as i write this. One time my farmer 's mac and cheese advertised with pulled pork and caramelized onions came with raw onion (gross and a giant piece of gristle pork in the middle. I 've gotten multiple pork burritos that have made me sick, and I 've had quite a few burgers that were so undercooked i had to spit my bite out and throw the entire thing away at home after paying. I now exclusively order food from here medium well/well done because if you don 't they will serve you food that 's almost cold inside. Even my well done burger was almost too rare to eat. I understand that it 's a fad to have rare meat but when someone says MEDIUM they don 't want RARE. It 's not even safe to consume ground beef or pork that 's undercooked and yet it 's served to me constantly from this restaruant after paying 20 or so bucks. I 've had to almost completely stop ordering chicken or bacon because i 've gotten raw bacon numerous times and either undercooked or woody chicken EVERY TIME. I don ' 't understand how the quality control can be so poor. I 've been eating here consistently for years and it 's baffling. I can only hope this feedback will get whatever needs to be gotten in line because if I get sick again i am changing this review to say avoid at all costs. As it is, take it from someone who goes here often the food is a GAMBLE. I hate to have to say that but that 's my experience. All the wait staff are great though, the service has been good every time i 've been there but the kitchen either needs someone new in charge or better safety standards because it 's not reasonable to get food poisoning this much from a restaruant. The tables are very grimy and sticky constantly also, i don 't think it 's from a lack of cleaning because i always see the wait staff scrubbing away at the tables before people sit down. The whole restaruant kind of has a dirty feel to it and not in a rustic folksy way, more like a did the health inspector actually do their job? kind of way. *EDIT* i forgot that if you get side portions of certain sides (cole slaw for example they try to give you a tiny plastic container of cole slaw (maybe 2 bites total for 3.50. every time i 've caught it, i 've asked them for an actual appropriate amount of a side, but i HAVEN 'T caught it many times because i shouldn 't have to check to make sure my food is correct EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. *edit 2* the owner responded and said they moved on from their last kitchen manager 4 hours ago, but the bad food i ate was 12 hours ago so unless they moved on this morning i find this highly suspect

One of the worst service I have ever seen. We are not American but we live and work here so our English cannot be so bad, she asked my husband to repeat his drink several times and then she took the menu from his hand and says the name of the beer very loud. I found this very rude and disrespectful, it never happened to me in 4 years. When we left the waitress at the front door look at us, we says “have a good day” and she didn’t reply. It looks like we were not welcome there. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very poor, I am giving two stars just because the food is not so bad. If you go with kids is better to know that the bathrooms are very small and don’t have the changing pad, I am not sure if is located somewhere else but I am sure we will never come back.
