Such great flavors and aromas. Delicious! Lisa and Maggie were behind the bar this afternoon and service was great, friendly, and always welcoming. Such a fun and relaxed atmosphere."

Both sandwiches were amazing, so good. We tried the daily special which was the ABBA sandwich and then the French butter and ham I would definitely recommend both."
