"A fantastic choice for food at any turn! Everything that was ordered was great quality (will go into that later) the hospitality was also top notch, our waitress was the kindest person! What we ordered: 1. Onion rings as a side, this is meant for only 1person. The batter was a light but sturdy bite and just the right crunch! Onions inside are fresh and tender, no onions pullingout when you eat these! 2. The Jumbo Cheese and Crab be warned this is PRETTY BIG. Definitely a 3 4 person endeavor or justget the rest in a takeout container! Pretzel itself had a delicate outer crunch with a luxuriously soft inside texture. Thedough was cooked all the way through. This is a severe upgrade from your standard jumbo pretzel. 3. Pot Roast Entrée Heavy,earthy, rich, and very homestyle. A big plate with big chunks of beef, carrots, potatoes, the works. A sweet, deceptively heavygravy sauce that coats everything, with equally satisfying fresh rolls to match. The meat was fully cooked but not dry. There'sa pleasant note from the carrots and potatoes that entice the appetite. The rolls aren't a slough either. Fresh, warm, delicatecrust with an impossibly lush center, cuts super easy with a butter knife. Delicious overall. 4. Chicken Pot Pie The dish wasan artistic piece. Beautiful presentation with the puff pastry on top. You can see the layers in the pastry, and it's perfectlybrowned on top. The taste was exquisite, you can really taste the butter in every layer! Underneath you find a steaming hot pileof hot chunky GOLD. The seemingly standard filling offering is elevated by the gravy sauce that has a cheese look without theheavy greasy taste and feeling. While I'm visiting from Philadelphia, I would make this place a destination to return to forthe food."

"I don 't know if we just went on a bad night or what had happened but it was not their most strong night. The service was incredibly slow and there were times we wouldn 't see our waitstaff for 15 20 minutes at a time. When she was there, she was nice, but the complete lack of attention to a group outing was pretty disappointing, especially noting that the building wasn 't what I 'd call busy by any means. There were other tables that definitely were getting better service from other waitstaff, so it may have just been an off night. I 'm not sure. The food for the most part, if you want seafood, get seafood. Everyone at the table found it delicious that had it. I got the chicken supposedly it was previously called not yet famous fried chicken. It is no longer called that and frankly, it was overcooked, incredibly dry, and flavorless. Seasoning would 've been nice. The biscuit was good if not a bit overbaked on the outside (it was incredibly crunchy). I will say, the bread at the table and the whipped butter with flakey salt was amazing and delicious. The building 's ambiance was a bit frustrating. It was very loud and echo y, enough so that a table nearby moved to another part of the building as it was just too loud. Additionally there just was no airflow. It was so hot, humid, and stuffy that it really kind of made the overall experience miserable. I can 't say I 'll be back."
