Probably some of the best pizza in the area, if not THE best. Got delivery on a Friday night and it was 13 minutes faster than quoted. Absolutely amazing, and the breakfast on the weekend is fabulous as well, support local businesses!

Recently had lunch while visiting the area. I ordered scallops (I'm a New Englander) and my companion ordered surf and turf, which was a ribeye steak with shrimp. She asked to substitute scallops for the shrimp and it was no problem and no extra charge! Our order arrived in a reasonable time. We were both impressed with the plating and appearance of the food, including miniature fry baskets holding the french fries, very unique! The scallops were perfectly fried, sweet and tender, just like New England. I was impressed. My companion enjoyed the good sized lunch portion of ribeye, large but not too thick. The fries were perfect and the cole slaw was good. I would continue to visit the area and stop here for a great meal anytime!

One of the few options we had when dining after 830pm. Glad we went here. Food was phenomenal. Service was good but slow. Place was relatively clean, bathrooms were okay and only one person at a time. All in all I will be back next time I'm in the area.

The ambiance did not grab me at first. Was looking for a bar to sit at and eat. Left, walked around the block but came back. Server was very polite and noticeably eager to be helpful for everyone in there. I enjoyed a Stella on draft, a beautifully fried flounder sandwich with onion rings. All were fried to perfection. Breading was as flavorful as the fish and the onions. Finished the meal with a slice of key lime cheesecake from the well stocked dessert cooler. I can’t wait to go back with some friends!
