"Buffalo chicken sandwich was great! Ranch dressing is smooth and creamy. Chicken tenders are crispy and tender. Club sandwich is big and filling and tasty! Service was fast and excellent. Only reason I gave atmosphere 3 stars is because the live music is too loud. Couldn't talk in the persons ear next to me. I wouldn't recommend if you're sensitive to sound. Over all experience was great!"

"Randomly checked them out, bc my daughters and I felt like burgers. 2 of my daughters had the Northside burger w fries. My youngest had the kids grill cheese w applesauce. I had the gorgonzola and a-1 burger w a side of french onion soup. We shared the hummus appetizer. Everything was great. Quick and friendly service. Will definitely be back"

"One of Richmond's best kept secrets! Amazing food, especially the desserts! You always feel like you're family there! Bands perform regularly too!"

- Troy F.

"This little local jewel is definitely worth looking for during a trip to Richmond. The decor is very eclectic and relaxing. I had the daily lunch special, bacon broccoli & cheddar quiche. It was a very hearty dish with lots of bacon and we all know that you can't go wrong with bacon! My husband ordered the chicken salad sandwich on rye bread which he said was very good. We chose to bring home 2 desserts, chocolate cake which is sourced from a local bakery and cheesecake which is housemade. That review will have to wait but we'll definitely go back."

"My husband and I just came across this place on Labor Day. We went to a different place to eat only to find it closed. So we tried here because we saw it on our drive and decided to check it out. Bonus points for being open on a holiday! When you walk in it looks like a cozy local neighborhood type of pub. Low lighting inside with a bar in the middle and booths all around. The service was friendly and helpful. It was also a laid back environment. The best part is that the food was delicious. They had a pork chop special with mashed potatoes and gravy that my husband has been telling everyone about. I had a Western Burger that was very delicious! The burger was cooked the way I asked and it was juicy. The way a burger should be. I also got sweet potato fries for my side. Most places charge extra for those, but this place doesn't! How refreshing. Craft beer is on sight on draft, bottle, and can. Pepsi products are also here and there's good carbonation! We were so full that we didn't have room for dessert, but they looked good! The prices were so reasonable for the amount of food we had as well! Two people at for $30. Check it out! You won't be disappointed."

- Brianna R.

"Got the Reuben and it was really good!! Great neighborhood bar/restaurant. Only complaint was that it was not very busy but it took about 30 minutes for the food to come out. Other than that, no issues."
