"Eli is an awesome bartender his third day but if you want a specialty drink he might need a little guidance but done awesome. Love how much space is here. Enjoy your meal here!!! Check out the flame grill. Can’t go wrong"

"Stumbled on this place when we were headed to another restaurant. Love the options of 3 store fronts on the strip in one location. Open atmophere, lively family friendly music and garage door front made for a lovely experience. The owner (?) treated the staff to pizza when we while we were here which was great to see and I'm sure helps morale!
Cons prices were a little higher then we were expecting for a $22 - 12" pizza and $4 piece of corn bread. The corn bread could use an upgrade - it didn't have much of a authentic corn flavor to it."

"We were in PA and went to Gettysburg to visit some museums. Anyways, it’s the second time I’ve been to this restaurant. The first time was years ago and the service was great.
This time, it took a while for a server to tend to us, we were a table of 5. Our server although she was friendly, it took a while for her to check on us and mind you, the place wasn’t busy.
The pizza was fine, the Korean bbq wings were good just a little soggy. The chicken burger was very good, loved it. My nephew ordered the fish and chips and he said the fish was stale and 0 flavor. My partner ordered the brisket sandwich which was so good! We also ordered the Brussels sprouts appetizer and hush puppies which were fine.
I liked that they have pool and we could play. The place is very spacious and it’s perfect for big groups."
