Had the most delicious bone-in ribeye along with awesome live music on the patio and excellent service! Our server, Mike, was an absolute delight! So attentive and friendly, he elevated our experience along with the delicious food and atmosphere!

Sliced steak sandwich, so good I had to go back to have it again and ordered one to-go for lunch the next day. The food is fantastic and a fun atmosphere. Love that they bring peppers and pickles as a starter. Hope the surplus pickles and peppers from each table are thrown to the chickens or pigs. While our table didn't waste any we were there long enough to see several tables that didn't touch them. Maybe ask the table if they want any, half bowl or full bowl to help cut down on wasted product. Not sure if they take reservations as the times we went we were able to be seated quickly. Large parties and busy dinner rush might slow your seating.

Bone-in ribeye tasted great! I got a side of a special cherry pepper sauce they had on a different steak and it was really good. I’m glad I got it on the side (suggested option from our waitress) because I loved being able to have a couple bites versus the whole steak as the meat alone had a wonderful flavor! Our table also got French onion soup and a burger and everyone enjoyed their meal.

I’m from Maryland, and when I come visit my boyfriend we come here when we want steak. We’ve never been disappointed. I always get the filet mignon and the potatoes. Also I love that they have pickles for you instead of bread lol.

Loved this place ! Offering high end steaks with a pub feel. French onion soup was on point and some great pie too.

Stopped in for an early dinner. This place gets jammed! So I would definitely recommend coming early on the weekend. We sat upstairs at a window overlooking the train station, which was nice. Food was good, service was meh. After we were finished with our main course we sat waiting for our server for probably 20 minutes. I love the complimentary pickles they give you for the table! The appetizer special of burnt ends was great!

Great place to enjoy a good steak! This was my first visit, and we came as a group of four—none of us left disappointed. From the moment we arrived, the service stood out. Robin was our host, and she was absolutely amazing—attentive, sweet, and genuinely welcoming. Right after being seated, we were served a selection of peppers and water, which was a nice touch. We ordered the garlic bread with cheese and I couldn’t stop eating it. Now to the food—everything was outstanding. The filet mignon and ribeye, both ordered medium, were cooked to perfection. Juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. My dish came with homemade smashed potatoes that were rich and comforting. The onion soup was a standout—loaded with cheese and full of flavor. To finish, we shared the chocolate mousse, which was creamy, rich, and a perfect way to end the meal. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!
