Pretty incredible menu. Something for everyone. But the atmosphere was why I’ll go back. Staff was super friendly. No mistakes for the whole table. Way underpriced. If you are looking for a bar or a friendly restaurant for the family, check them out.

Taco Tuesday is the bomb! Great food and adult beverages! Prices are low in my opinion, and I appreciate that.

We went here for the first time for their Halloween event and we had a blast. The dj was on point, the drinks weren't expensive and the overall vibe was so friendly and inviting. We danced the night away along with the rest of the crowd. It was so packed but in a good way you can tell everyone was having a good time and that this place definitely has regulars. I will definitely be returning! FYI ladies don't where heels if you wanna dance and if you have to sand them down the floor is slippery!

Loove the cash only bartender!! So worth it to have some cash on you!! Super quick and just the best. Greg (security/bouncer) is great too! He’s super personable and attentive. Safe atmosphere, I love it here Edit to add, I’m not sure what his name is but he’s literally always there opening up the dance floor side when I go, which is usually Friday or Saturday. Not sure if that helps, I forget you can pay with card if it’s over $15 😭

Went looking for a snack and stumbled upon this gem. Burgers supreme, fried pickles bomb, and pasta delish. Mike and Michael made it all even more top notch and welcoming. Try this place and you won’t be disappointed!

Wonderful hidden gem, bartender was very kind and friendly and the vibes are immaculate! If I was a local this would be my go-to spot :) Also should note, the portions are pretty big (at least for a small guy like me) but delicious, and they have a non-alcoholic mocktail menu

Have been to the Paddock for years and it’s always been good but I have to say the service recently has been phenomenal. Ever since bringing in the new bartender Danny I look forward to making the paddock my go to even more. He is by far the best addition to the club in years, and actually knows how to handle the rush and make a drink the way it should be. I will continue to be back if I know he’s tending bar.

If you like dark and cozy, this is the place. I absolutely LOVE the ambiance here. First-time patrons, and we will be back. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was perfect. NOTE: This turns from a restaurant to a full-fledged bar with a DJ around 9pm. They remove the tables as the place fills up with bar goers. But dont let that fool you. Come early for an awesome dinner and a dark yet welcoming, very cozy environment. Could be perfect for DATE NIGHT dinner and then drinks. Try the Fish Fry, Calamari, but skip the Mac and cheese with buffalo chicken. Overall, we LOVE this place.

It has some of the best food I’ve ever had, if your an olive lover the fried olives are a must, not too busy and deserves a lot more business. I swear this is hands down the best place I’ve ever eaten at. Plus the atmosphere is amazing with amazing staff who make you feel at home.
