"Wife and I came in for a late lunch. It turned out to be one of the best pulled pork sandwiches I have ever had. I dont say that lightly. My wife loved her cornbeef brisket as well. The food was amazing, the service was great, and it was a fun place to eat. We will DEFINITELY be going back. The hardest part for me will be trying not to order the pulled pork as I heard there soups are amazing as well."
"Corned beef brisket sandwich was delectable!"
"Everything we tried was amazing. We will be back!"
"Great sandwich and great service. Good house mushroom soup."
"This is a hidden gem. Even some of the locals didn’t know about this place. The food was delicious. The seafood chowder was delicious. And the bread pudding was delicious. I will definitely try this place again."

"Linzie is the bee’s knees of bartenders! No fluff — just great attitude, amazing personality, and top-notch service. She made the best dirty (or should I say dusty!) martinis I’ve ever had."
