    Great food and extremely friendly staff. And I'm in love with the newspaper menus. Great idea. Look for the fire pits on the patio or else you might walk right by.

    Been here a dozen or so times, and have yet to find a reason to complain. Everything on the menu is fantastic. I just wish they'd bring back the shepherd's pie!

    Wednesday they play love music, and the quesadillas are the best in salem, nice and crispy with lots of good stuff minus the grease.

    Angry orchard on tap. Outside seating is great! Sounds of the waterfall and no humidity = happiness!!! Wait staff on key, very friendly and fun!

    Really large space with games and such, but it's just such a madhouse full of hopped-up dudes with too much hair gel trying to get in fights.

    Nice, low-key atmosphere. Good hang for a beer. Menu is all heart attack. Gut-bomb city.

    Just had the best and most tender French dip sandwich ever. I’ll be back for sure!

    I've been mayor for awhile here but I must say drinks are cheap but weak, beer is good and tall, they've screwed up takeout more than once. Still, I keep hoping.

    Fried pickles have good batter and retain their crunch. Definitely recommend!

    Fried pickles were good, chicken sandwich was very greasy and bland. Service was very slow - probably wouldn't go back.

    The BBQ brisket is noteworthy in that it was the worst I've ever had, hands down. Like dry, gray pot roast. Avoid.

    Ugh. Poor service, slow service, buffalo wings came out without sauce but we were too hungry to send them back and chance another 20 minute wait
