Picked a time when I thought they would be not busy Perfect Cute bartender Always a good start Asked for her favorites. She suggested the cheesesteak and fries. Fries,great cheesesteak loaded with onions mushrooms,steak and cheese Will go back

We thoroughly enjoyed our first and long overdue visit which took place on a Saturday afternoon. The place felt very comfy, and the atmosphere was definitely friendly and welcoming. Light crowd of (likely) regulars were present. The bar is plenty big, and there are booths and hi tops too. We sat at a booth and experienced pretty attentive service from more than one staff member. And really, really good food. NOT your typical bar menu. My husband had a cup of the soup of the day which was a thick, creamy and hearty chicken noodle. The cook (who is the owner's mother) let us in on her secret...heavy cream and butter went in there. I got a taste too and we agreed it was delicious. If this is typical of their soups, it's something you want to try for sure. I went for the Classic Italian pasta salad. They say they are very proud of this dish, and well they should be. Penne pasta cooked to perfect fork tender, mixed with chopped tomato and bell pepper, and lightly bathed in olive oil with wonderful tones of basil, garlic, and Romano cheese. Did I mention this place is owned and operated by an Italian family?! We split Angelo's cheeseburger too. It's on the pricier side for a burger, but, you get what you pay for. Don't expect this to come out in five minutes because they are not slapping a frozen patty on the grill and throwing on pre-cut condiments. It was truly freshly made all around and oh my, those homemade potato chips on the side! Perfect texture, thinness, and flavor. Also a decent area for the weekend bands with room for dancing, and an awesome outdoor deck with plenty of seating, plenty of ashtrays, speakers, TV, and the all important overhead heater and roll down wind sheeting (although I hope it will be a LONG time till we have to worry about that again). Will definitely return.

Wow! Been here multiple times when visiting from out of town. Always enjoyed myself up until tonight. The bartender named Sara needs etiquette training. In a MAJOR way. This evening I was repulsed by her lack of courtesy and empathy. In our mid forties, my dear friend and I have physical medical conditions that we recently developed. Ironically enough, both of our gaits are unsteady, and we both struggle walking. To an outsider that is unaware of the trauma we've both experienced, some may interpret our unsteady walk as being drunk. The bartender showed us her blind ignorance tonight, and even continued to disrespect us after we shared what we both have been trying to manage. She cut us off and refused to serve us more than one drink. I have no words to express how disgusted I am with this, and wanted to share with the community humbly. Service for our one drink limit was NOT. We tipped anyway. The biggest tip I'd like to give Sara is: Don't prejudge or throw your opinions out when you do not understand. Severely Shocked and Never Returning, Denise

1. Drinks are way over priced 2. Never a fun crowd 3. Terrible ownership I would never recommend this place to a friend. It's not a fun time. If you are bored and don't want to drink at home you might find better luck at the Avenue

Great restaurant and great people. There subs are amazing and there chips. Would highly recommend stopping by here.
