NOT vegetarian friendly . I'm disappointed with the entrees. However, it's worth a trip for the craft beer . I recommend the Blueberry beer with the lovely berries bouncing around like a lava lamp!

Steve Kohn

First visit here. Parking was a challenge, but thankfully they had attendants to assist. Not to long to wait for seating. Nice to sit at outside bar . Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

A notable local restaurant with quality food at reasonable prices. One of their better menu items that everybody loves is Rhino Fries . -Suggested tip from Jesse M., Safelite associate

Kaitlyn Randz

The rhino fries are to die for. They are a must. Huge servings could feed 3 people easily. They also have th best tomato soup , loaded with crutons and melted cheese .

Jonathan Ferrari

The Mojito are great...the atmosphere is awesome,...love the deck. ..and of course the rhino fries are a must

Chris Boyer

BBQ for 2! Split a Full rack of BBQ ribs , 2 BBQ chicken breasts , 12 wings ? And fries ! #valuebuy - you won't go home hungry either.. Oh, and you gotta get that crab dip !

Laura Ashlee

The food is awesome! Don't pass up the Rhino fries ! As for the service, I've been here 4 times and had good service once. Wait staff just goes through the motions and lacks character.

Scott Noon

Beautiful place to sit. Great vibe. Enjoy it, because your food won't come for an hour.

Ryan Cohick

Did you know you can get a smaller portion of Rhino Fries ? They're appropriately named Baby Rhino Fries , & they're perfect for 2-3 people that don't want to fill up just on Rhino Fries .

Vanessa Schneider

Get the crab dip to start. Signature pretzel sandwich is a personal fave!

Laura

Call ahead on your way to skip the full wait line . Not exactly a reservation bit host staff honors call ahead when possible
