Best dine in food, took my kids here and they loved it
What an enjoyable place to go and the.food was exceptional. I could have enjoyed Retro Rocks a long time ago, but who knew
We went with a large group yesterday. They were so kind and accommodating, especially considering it was a Thursday evening and we were a loud group. It was late and I was busy talking, so I didn't get food as the kitchen was about to close. However, one of the people I was with got a starter and it was a very generous portion. I got a cider and it was the last of the... keg? (I'm not sure of the terminology) Although the glass was almost full they told me that glass was on the house and they would charge for the next one. I got to talking and never got the second glass. I was willing to pay for the glass as it was almost a full glass. Like so close to full that had she not said anything I probably wouldn't have noticed. But the bartender said not to worry. This was so kind considering I did get to enjoy the atmosphere and the cider for a couple hours. We've been there a few times and the food has always been good. My husband likes the fish and chips and past ciders they have had. This time I had a peach cider and it was much like a peach sparkling wine with a nice sweet flavor. Strongly recommend
It was super hot in the back area where we were no air-conditioned, and only.a small fan we were all really hot so it was uncomfortable but I hadn't see my old coworkers in such a long time I suffered it out , but we had a an awesome server ,Eric he was always checking on us the food was good , I will definitely come back
The bartender made the experience. Really nice and funny guy. The bar itself was themed really well and had a solid vision of what it wanted to be
Attentive staff. Well seasoned food. Very welcoming. Will return someday
The food was barely mediocre..
