Ordered a well done burger with fries and was happy with the food. Fries were sweet potato and they were well seasoned and fresh! The burger was delicious too. I’ll definitely be back for more soon. The staff were friendly and welcoming

It’s been a great place to be throughout the pandemic. Makes life feel somewhat normal again. Good comfort food and great hospitality! I used to work in the city but since it shut down I’ve had to spend time in jersey. When I go out, this is one of the places I love being at. I sit, work on my projects and enjoy a delicious French toast.
