  We live really close to here, but we've always been reluctant to try it out due to the reviews.  Honestly, Now that I've been here to eat, I think the reviews are pretty harsh, and it's not nearly as bad as the reviews make it seem.
  
  Fried pickle spears.  Yum.  If you read my other reviews, you'll see this is a fondness of mine... and theirs were as good as any I've ever had.  
  
  Beyond that, they have a wide variety of sandwiches, burgers, soup and salads, and more.  There's a lot of beer to choose from as well.  Service was just okay... the waitress was nice enough overall, but nothing special, and the service was hardly speedy... but in general, it wasn't horrible, and the food came out tasting fresh and tasty.  There's no kids menu that I saw, but the selection is wide enough where I think my kids would have been happy there as well.
  
  I can imagine this place getting very loud and crowded on a sports night.  However, on a Wednesday for lunch, it was just about a third full, and the noise level was moderate at its worst. With its low occupancy, our lunch still took about an hour for two sandwiches and an appetizer.  Fortunately, we weren't in a hurry, and I've certainly experienced worse at other places.
  
  I can see myself returning.  It is a great location in its proximity to where we live, and there's nothing wrong with the food... in fact, it could really satisfy a craving on one of those nights where I just want bar&grill-style food but I don't want to go far for it.
  
  It looks like they have a lot of specials in the evenings.  They have a beautiful outdoor wood patio.  Lots of tv's so you can enjoy the sports events while you have something to eat and some bar drinks or beer.
  
  BTW... Not sure what is up with the Google map on this... This place is on the corner of Devils Glen and Middle Road.

  Food is average and nothing that special. If cheap is your primary goal, the burger baskets are ok but the fries are not that good.

  This is your average neighborhood pub.  Fairly priced.  Nothing special on the menu.  Better than most.  Service is above average normally.  The deck area is a great spot to waste some time.

  Was there today and I have never seen a total cluster in my life. Really?  Wtf?
  
  We had a large table on the patio. They were not extremely busy inside, maybe 30% of tables inside with another 40 on the patio.
  
  The server should investigate a different career path. She was pretty, the experience not so much.
  
  1. Did not keep track of orders.
  2. My niece received her food to go as it never came.
  3.  One hour ticket time
  4. The server played the blame game. She threw the kitchen under the bus.
  5. Greek salad?  The only thing Greek was the dressing. Mystery meet plus black olives and tomatoes. Where are the pepperoncini peppers, onions and kalamatas?
  6.  Orders delivered incorrectly
  7.  Bills charged to wrong credit cards.
  
  Did not see or hear from a manager at our table nor did we see one working the floor.

  The burger was just ok - although me and tums had a date later in the evening.  The french fries were horrible - dry and clumped together.  About the only thing worth it was a cold beer - fortunately they didn't have to make that.  Service was adequate.  Bathroom was average for a restaurant.  They have a patio so if you just want to relax with friends for a beer you probably won't have a problem.

  The brunch here is a joke....not a brunch at all. The service sucks. The only good thing is the cheap hamburger baskets and beer. I could even get that somewhere else and it would be better.

  Slow evening about 9 pm, waited 20 mins for food after ordering and then the waitress comes out to tell us they are out of "Philly mix" and can't make our phillys. Wow.  Re-ordered, took a long time to get and wasn't worth it.
