Great dive bar with good food, solid drinks, and good service. Priced reasonably, there isnt much to dislike about this place. I had the fried pickles and cuban, and my wife had a burger. All cooked very well, and price competitively.

A local watering hole filled with characters and good food. A cold beer, a cold shot, and Cuban sandwich is a great way to get your head on straight after a day on the golf course or the beach

Passing thru while traveling. Ordered Salmon sandwich, Southwest burger, Grilled shrimp basket and nachos. Everything was awesome! We were so hungry we forgot to take photos until almost done. Noise level was quite high so not a place for a quiet dinner but very lively and fun. It was trivia night.
