Great place to stop for lunch or dinner while in this super cute town! I wish we would have been there for dinner, I would have gotten the perch dinner. Cauliflower wings were amazing, breaded zucchini a close second. Turkey sandwich was huge and super filling if you're hungry. Wings were good, comes with either hot sauce or jerk sauce. Can get both on the side. Salad was good and the portion size of the boneless wings was huge as well. Service was fast and friendly. Sitting on the deck was a great vibe on a nice summer day! Love you can shop at cute little stores while you wait for food.

Great food. The servers were really earning their tips on a busy day but they did a great job. We will definitely come back.

We came here with our 21 month old daughter on a Saturday night Labor Day weekend. They had live music and we were seated promptly around 6pm with a great spot to enjoy the music. Our server Sophie did a great job and was on top of everything. The music was great, the food was great and the atmosphere was awesome. I got the hot wings which were super tasty. My daughter got the Mac and cheese bites and she loved them. My wife ordered a turkey sandwich and she thought it was great as well. Great spot with a hardworking staff. Will definitely return.

What a delight it was to sit outside on the patio and have a filling lunch. I was amazed at the number of employees who were working on a weekday. Because of that, the service was prompt and attentive.
