Under new management. Dart game, punching bag game, 2 pool tables. All that is needed is a pinball/ arcade machine. Drink specials daily and good prices.

Good place for chicken, the livers take a while extra to cook so if that’s on your mind get there a bit early and account for an extra 20 minutes or so, other than that the chicken was good, well seasoned and crispy as can be. Crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside, as it should be

I got the three chicken strips, fries, roll and drink for lunch. The chicken strips were plump, juicy breast meat and very large. Definetly got my money's worth today!
