What do their customers think?
One fan of the company publicly wrote, “Amazing food, nice atmosphere, and friendly owners and staff! We started off with the Bavarian Pretzel, which was amazing! I had the “The Pacino” Cuban sandwich, which was a delicious subtle twist on the classic Cuban. The pasta salad side was also a great choice, with really good flavor. My husband got the Homemade Fried Chicken Sandwich, and this was a big sandwich with a lot of flavor! Everything on the menu looked delicious, so we will definitely be back MANY times to try even more! There is a large beer menu as well, a lot of unique beers. We also love the idea of Beer Adweisse with Riley, to discuss different beers and food pairings. This family-owned business has added so many personal touches and little details, they’ve already made it such a fun and special place. I highly recommend it!!!”

Don’t forget the Belgium chocolate before you leave. Yes, imported Belgium chocolate! Just go there, you will be better for it. Make sure to tell Piper hello. She will brighten your day for sure.”
