The only place I know that forces me to eat a giant bowl of brussel sprouts to myself. They are that good. Also, meatloaf sandwich.

If you're here after 9pm try the Meatloaf sandwich and the Mac'n'Cheese - epic end to the night.

For a more relaxed afternoon opt for brunch in the front room. The noise level in the dining room is deafening.
