Eyasu Felleke:The Whiskey Sampler is a must. Food wise the chicken sliders are amazing mainly because of the buttermilk biscuits that they're on
José Rodríguez:The burger choices are all top-notch. Highly recommend the rotating beers... Have yet to try their rye whiskey selection, but look forward to it. Casual place with multiple monitors to check out games
jason moore:Not a great spot if you have time constraints. They have some point-of-sale issues they need to work out, and the kitchen takes about 20 minutes on a slow day.
