This is a must-go! The food is so good, every time (buffalo shrimp and Julia’s ta-tots are so delicious). Bar and wait staff are always so great. Wednesday’s they have Singo. Family friendly, always with a cozy area for kids with toys/books. No pool table but they do have a dart board, arcade games and slots.
