What our guests are saying
Love the Stromboli, pizzas and wings. Everything I ate there has been great. Also a good place to catch a game and enjoy a few beers on tap, the selection is really good.

What a local gem! We stopped in for dinner after noticing the fun name and its location near our hotel 😊 Our party of 8 ordered wings, a calzone, meatball sub, garlic knots, salads, and chicken tenders — and everything was amazing with generous portions. The Jamaican wings were crispy and super flavorful! David was phenomenal and kept us laughing. Very clean spot and totally family-friendly. Thanks for a great dinner!

Very nice people! The food was great — a nice hangout spot. I had the best Philly steak I’ve ever had! Shoutout to my waitress for the awesome suggestion.
