Everything is so mothershwackin' good! The burgers (dem buns !), the tortilla soup was fantastic, buffalo blasters were a spicy little treat... can't wait to try more stuff!

Michael Morgan

Great food! Affordable too. I also like the fact that they serve alcohol here and have a pretty good size selection of beers on tap . The fish tacos are BOMB! The burgers looked great too.

Kat

The beef is too dry, the grilled fish would be fantastic if they made it much less salty, so I settle for the chicken which are great. I prefer the fish if they could fix them. Great little place!

Kevin Dulin

Beef wasn't great in the burger but the bun was great. Fish tacos were fantastic. Good soup and beer list , and great value for money !

April Walters

Everything about this restaurant is so damn perfect. The crews also are very accommodating and never tried to do unnecessary works that bothered me. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

My "Big Al 's bacon burger " was very tasty and juicy. Must double up on the meat patty. Cold beer on tap is a winner!!!

Get the Shaka Fish Tacos , you won't regret it. They're spicy so ask for light Pico if you can't handle it.
