“ Nice atmosphere and great food. Jamar our server was excellent and attentive. Indoor seating is also available. Many gluten free options were available. ”
“ We were immediately greeted with a smile! Our sever was attentive and worked with our large group perfectly! Thank you Adan! Nachos, draft beer, sandwiches and appetizers were portioned well for the price and perfect for smaller meals. Definitely worth a visit off the beaten path! ”
“ Great food and service! I loved the draught root beer and the bumpy cake. The Mac Daddy burger was superb too and I enjoyed my Crispy Chicken Salad bowl. ”
“ Incredible food, very friendly staff. Music selection was on point, we were going to stay for karaoke but we were too full. You have to try either (or both!) of the signature burgers, they are both fantastic. I'll definitely be stopping by next time I'm on the island. ”
“ We came in after a long day of discovering the island. We ordered the fried pickle and chicken tender basket which was delicious. The chicken was tender and juicy and the hot sauce served with it was bangin! We also ordered the wedge salad which was really good too. Then we had the prime rib dinner and enjoyed that too. All the staff was friendly and helpful:) We will definitely come back! ”
“ Great food, atmosphere and service. The Poutine was out of this world ”
“ The food here was absolutely delicious. Everyone from our party of 6 enjoyed everything from the cocktails to the main course and then desserts. It was worth every cent. The atmosphere was easy going and casual. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. The entire place is cleaned and well kept. I would recommend 100 times over! ”
“ Stopped in for lunch after walking up to Grand Hotel. There was no wait, and we sat on the patio. Our server Roman was very polite. We ordered 2 salads and a cup of chowder. The food took about 20 minutes to get. The cob salad was quite fresh with mixed greens and lots of tomatoes. The dressing was light and very good. The chowder was also good. The price was about average, I was expecting higher considering where we were. They have a full bar inside. There is a large room for a party or large group. The hostess was so nice. ”
