What the truck Tuesday. The portion was definitely worth the $. The taste tho. There was no flavor/no seasonings /no mild or hot flavor at all and few pieces of meat. I was disappointed as I waited all day for that meal

My girlfriend and I love going there. The bartenders are usually really cool. We go for the food. It’s good food and generous portions and I mean generous. The Riggies, let me tell you hwhat buddy. They are amazing. We always have food for days after. I love leftovers from there. Well enough from me. Go check the place out.

Huge portions and I mean huge. Service is very friendly and prompt. Chicken riggies are very flavorful and did o say the portions are huge. Lobster Mac was incredible along with the well cooked and flavored burger. Garlic bread was huge also and actually flavored. This is a great place to eat.

My wife and I are now life time fans. Service was good, but the food was out of this world. Prices were so cheap in comparison to the portion sizes, and the food itself was mouth watering/life changing. The lobster mac and cheese had massive chunks of lobster and each bite was creamy and saucy (i.e NOT dry like most). The fried pickles spears were stellar, perfectly breaded with none of the soggy greasy texture that many places have. My long island was poured with a HEAVY hand and made me a very happy lady. My friend ordered the steak and greens sub and swears she will be eating it for days, if not until the new year .

Huge portions! Food was all fantastic and we had plenty to bring home. We went for the boneless chicken wing special for my son but didn’t realize it was for the bar only. I didn’t let this effect my rating but they should allow tables the bar special with an alcoholic beverage order if they have small children. We will be going back for wing night!
