- Moises L.

"Awesome selection of beers and drinks. Lots of seating, great for groups. Large arcade area in the side room with great pinball games and golden tee. Service is excellent, staff are super friendly and helpful. I wasn't blown away by their cheesesteak, it's seemed average to me. Fries serving size is fairly small. Overall great restaurant."

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at this local restaurant, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a cozy charm that makes you feel right at home the moment you walk in. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, offering helpful recommendations and making sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. The only thing I wish was that they put more cheese on my cheesesteak."

- Darion Q.

"The owners and staff are super friendly and create a welcoming environment. All the food is amazing and the beer selection is unbeatable. It's my husband's favorite place to eat and when my in-laws visit it's the only place we go. Must try the fried rice if you haven't. Also love trying their specials."

- Jordyn N.

"This place used to be the only place in the area who knew how to make an authentic, delicious, non skimpy chopped cheese. Bummer they changed it to mainly just bread and for someone reason mixed greens and pizza shop onions- a far cry from from what it used to be. I hate leaving negative reviews but was disappointed"

- Gabriel P.

"UBH smash burger was amazing, 10/10. Love the atmosphere and the game machines in the back! Service was amazing, super friendly and helpful!"

- Parisa N.

"Nice food menu, did not try it due to eating before we got there, several items looked and sounded good to try. Beer list is varied and many different styles to choose from. Nice place to visit. Seems like a dedicated crowd in attendance throughout the day."
