Stopped in for a quick evening meal before an event. Very few people inside but had a fairly long wait before a waitress came. She gave us menus but failed to tell us what the specials were. When she took our order we had to ask about the specials and then she didn't know. So she had to go to the counter and get the information about specials. When we finally got our meal, I had a sandy mash, roast beef with mashed potatoes. The meat did Not taste good and the mashed potatoes were barely warm. Will Not be going back.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Had a great lunch with my kiddos. I will say the French fries are delicious, ours were hot, seasoned and crunchy. My son had the 156 burger and said it was good. I did a breaded tenderloin and it’s now one of my tops. The decor is cool with lots of space. Now my cons - you can supplement curds or anything else for your fries in a basket, so I bought curds and his fries. Odd you can’t change it up, just a charge. Also I asked for homemade potato salad, but it never came. I’m going back, because the food is good, really good.

Amazing food! I love the varied selection. The staff were very friendly and checked in with us several times to ask how we liked everything. I can’t wait to visit again! We’ve visited several times since and it’s always perfect food, fast serving times, and very nice staff. Love the menu selection.
