The service here was exceptional. I stopped by to pick up an order and Sam was working all by his self. He kept me updated, he didn’t get frustrated, and he was very quick all while handling like 8 customers at one time. This guy is amazing and If he is not already, he needs to be a manager. This is the guy to look for if you stop by this amazing place!

Fun little dive bar in downtown Durham. Connie made a great Old Fashioned and her and Eric were very welcoming.

Wow, happened upon this place & so glad we did. Food is spectacular…great beer selection and service is on point. I had the poboy & my husband had the Reuben wrap. The fries are cooked with fresh garlic. Amazing! Will definitely be back!

I used to frequent this place and I'm sure I still would if I was going out to eat and drink more nowadays. Hopefully they still do their daily meal specials(usually what we would go for) I don't think I was ever disappointed. They even knew about drinks that I couldn't find elsewhere so they got me with some nostalgia.....love the decor and it cozy atmosphere. Anyways check it out they have been around for a while now and I'm so glad they made it thru the pandemic. Plus great drinks and good food and conversation is what makes life worth it, am I right?

Edit-please see below. Original-Service was fast and very friendly. They got busy while I was there but stayed attentive to my table even though I was alone. Food was much better than I expected after reading reviews. The steak was cooked perfectly. I was sitting on the front patio and the couple next to me had a dog, the staff made sure the dog got a bowl of water. Only complaint is the paper they put between the tray and the food does not work well then cutting steak. Other than that it was a perfect meal. Edit- the above review was based off the first time I went there. I went a second time and the food was not good (same dish), service was not good. I have coworkers that have gone there that the services was horrible to the point that they will not go back. At this point I would say that you are rolling the dice if you decide to go.
