“ A polished version of a neighborhood bar and grill. We had the hash browns, which were delicious. Staff is friendly and attentive, and the inside is a gleaming version of traditional watering hole. Great place to go after a hike in Forest Park. ”
“ The food was excellent. We were told that it was the busiest Tuesday they have ever experienced. Our waiter was very friendly and he explained that due to the traffic back up this evening, they got swamped. We had to ask a few times for our drinks. He even asked if he had forgotten anything, of which we informed him that we had not received our drinks or clam chowder. One clam chowder arrived after we received our entrees. Then the sodas and ice tea arrived, another reminder about the second order of chowder being missing, but it never arrived. We informed a lady who had delivered our meals earlier, and she appeared to have her purse in hand and snarkily replied, "Sorry, I'm leaving for the night. You will have to ask your waiter." It was just a busy night, I guess. Return visit...8/17/24 Today, we had the best server who made excellent recommendations for our lunch selections. I went with a special benedict with avocado, tomatoes, and Hollendaise, plus hashbrowns. My friend went with the country benedict, which is a buttermilk biscuit, sausage gravy, fried chicken, poached eggs, more gravy, and is served with hashbrowns. All very good. I bumped my rating back up to 5 stars. ”
“ Eclectic bar and food place, love the atmosphere. Warm wood tones and classic tavern feel. The door is made out of boat window. Everything is great about this place. ”
“ This place is my not-so-secret secret spot. Been on a mission to find a place with wings that remind me of ones back in Virginia and Lighthouse has come the closest. I make the drive out here whenever I really am craving a solid wing. French fries are great. Service is always killer. Pool table and plenty of tables. It’s truly a gem ”
“ This is a great spot for food after mountain biking at Rocky Point! Check it out. Parking out front so you can keep an eye on your bike or there's a patio for the side lot. I got the nachos and they were surprisingly amazing, my friend got the french fries which were perfect. We had draft beers and ciders, the service was awesome, food was fast and delicious, prices are great, everything was very clean, and we will be back! ”
“ Everything was made fresh and not microwaved from a box. My pulled pork sandwich had that smoke house slow smoke delicious flavor to it accompanied by a sweet sticky sauce . The fries are made fresh and not frozen. OMG delicious. My wife got to enjoy the fish and Chips. Beer battered cod with a local brew. This place was Unexpectedly delicious. Menu is simplified with easy choices. You can't go wrong. I hope you get the pleasure of meeting Armad. what a great person to meet. So much life in that guy ”
“ My partner and I love visiting this bar—it’s become one of our favorite spots, especially when Siri is working! She’s incredibly kind, attentive, and always fun to talk to, which makes every visit even better. The vibe is always welcoming, and the food never disappoints. If you go, don't miss the pulled pork sandwich—it's seriously mouthwatering and one of the best we've had. Whether you're stopping by for a quick drink or settling in for a full meal, this place delivers every time. Highly recommend! ”
“ Terrific please to stop and eat heat lunch. Waitress was on the spot! She was there. She was helpful on top of her job. But never made you feel like she was waiting for you to leave for the next paying customer. I ate the firehouse Burger. It was excellent. My co-worker had the philly cheese sandwich and loved it! My meal was only four dollars more than going to a fast food chain restaurant and well worth it! Really like all of the decor. Very appropriately theme based and creative. ”
