Awful... Originally sat outside. Server sat us down wind from a group of all smokers, we had a baby with us.... Asked to be moved inside and it was a brisk 60 degrees. For spring and 10 customers in a huge restaurant thats way too cold. Bread sticks had no flavor they remained me of the ones they use to serve in middle school, our one year old wouldnt even eat them. Ordered Alfredo Laquini and the shrimp develpo(?) Alfredo was just butter and noodles with a light garnish of parmesan cheese... No flavor at all. The shrimp was covered in a red sauce yet not pealed. It had a strong fish smell and taste you could tell it was frozen. We sent everything back and left. Bill was 8 dollars for two adult and one "kids" soda... Kids soda costs the same and came in a togo cup with a straw and leaked everywhere. Bottom line I wont even come for the 3 dollar shocktop pints on Thursdays. And I love shocktop.

There are three parts to this place: A separate sports-bar, an Italian street-themed dining area and a Tiki hut themed deck area. Personally, Ive been to the deck area once, had their take-out twice and have had a couple dine-in experiences. The decor is pleasant, but during the late Spring and Summer months, the temperature in the dining area is uncomfortably cold. Conveniently, theyve served useful for their casual outdoor seating, being open on Sundays or simply because theyre the only option locally if you need a last minute meal late in the evening. If you go in with standard food quality expectations, want a beer (lots to choose from) and arent on a tight budget, you wont be disappointed. To note, there are no gluten-free or vegan options (most things made with butter), but feel free to hold the meat on any of their pasta dishes for a vegetarian meal.

I had gone there with my friend and her food was terrible. I had pizza that time and it was pretty good! Went back again because I remembered the pizza and ordered a few slices. When I received them, they were absolutely burnt. Who serves food that is black on the edges and dark brown everywhere else? I will never go back. And, the food is quite expensive (the reason why I ordered the pizza in the first place, $15 for chicken plus tax/tip for a very okay place??)

DEFINITELY NOT worth $70.00 paid for dinner and we go out to eat alot! Food and service sucked! Ive never experienced a bad nachos grande, the meat was WAY overcooked and had to ask for the peppers that I had ordered. The fries and lettuce were the best food from the place! Didnt see waitress very much except when she wanted our money. Mens restroom didnt have a changing table. What men arent suppose to take care of their children?? Would like a full refund!

I did not like our seating. we were unlucky and got one of the two tables that right at the entrance.(felt like we were being showcased, and had the occasional onlooker peaking at what we had ordered. Then again..it was Valentines day.) BUT, the food was GREAT. and you get alot of food for the price you pay - which is very reasonable. Service was attentive, for the most part. I would MOST DEFINITELY go back!

Went to the outside bar and waited for the 3 female bartenders to stop talking to each other and greet me. Never happened. After waiting for 2 minutes while they took turns looking at me and turning their heads they all walked right past me and started talking to each other again in another spot. Unbelievable. Fire them. Fire them now. This happened at 8:30pm Fri April 28 2017.

Rude waitress last night. Watched her curse at the male bartender. She actually rubbed lipstick off of a glass of white wine she was giving to a customer!!! Disgusting and it took everything within me not to go to the lady and tell her not to drink! How disgusting and with that I left!!! If the wipe lip prints off glasses think of what else is done!!! Nasty!!

Three strikes: Service is horrendous; flat draught beer and bartenders that cant make an Old Fashioned; and linguine monterrey with two shrimps and nasty frozen scallops. You would think that a table with three complaints would at least get a visit from the manager: make that strike four.

I got a gift certificate from a friend and they would not let me apply it towards the tip, because it was considered house money. I think it is just lack of respect for their customers patronage and their servers input towards the experience of their establishment.

Love this place. They recently just redid the bar and added sand to the outside deck. The food is great as well. I would recommend eating and then grabbing some drinks with friends at the bar after! It makes for a great night!!! My favorite place to go out by far!

The outside Deck is a great place to sit and relax and have a few cold ones after work. Dining food is so/so, but the typical bar fare is on par with expectations. Drink prices are a little high for the area, but the staff is great and the service is good.

Had the Jumbo Shrimp & Crab Alfredo. It was awesome. My friend had the lasagne. She loved it. I tried a bite. Although the sauce was not what I was expecting, it was very good. I think I may have tasted a twist of wine in it. Very good.

Good effort, spacious, SUPER overpriced, 8.50 long islands in a plastic cup that are soo weak. Turnpike trap business modeled to get the most out of the visitor, not for repeat customers. I live by here and skip it unless I I hv too. FAIL

This is one of the worst places to eat in the area. Prices are way out of line. Ate here a few times thinking maybe it might get better...not. Dont waste ur money. Take 272 about a mile south and eat at Two Cousins or Rivieras.

My husband and I both had burgers cooked rare. They were the best weve had in a long time. Our waitress, Ruth, was super friendly and sincere in her mannerisms. If you want a great burger cooked your way...this is the place

Ordered pizza to-go once, because Procopios was closed, and dont plan to again. Cheese and sauce were scarce, and dough was under-cooked. The only upside I see is the outdoor atmosphere looks nice for drinks at night.

Food is not good and prices are high. Live in the area, so we have tried it multiple times, but its always been a bad experience. Bar area is a nice place to have a few drinks and watch the games.

The food here was GREAT i havent been dissatisfied with the quality of my meal once. The waitesses were also very polite. Only down fall is it takes them a while to make the food.

Went three times. Got sick three times. This last time I was sick all night and has to call off work because I was up all night with stomach pains. Done. Do not eat or drink here.
