Husband ordered wings they were undercooked and rubbery. I ordered there Greek taco which said it had 1/2 lb of meat it was more like a half a pound of feta cheese. Chips were soggy not crisp. Once and done.

Friendly comfortable atmosphere. Service is great. Highly recommend on any given day. Skillet nachos Yummy. A must try

Very enjoyable place to eat lunch after visiting Fred Howard park. My daughter and I visited on Memorial Day when this was one of the few places that seemed to be open in the area. They were slammed with business, possibly short-staffed, but the service was great. The food was good, possibly the best fried pickles we ever had and there was a good selection of beers on tap. I would visit here again, for sure.

Local pub/grub (naked wings are my go To!), great beer selection and Valerie, Nicole, Jess and Maryann are awesome ? and it’s on the Pinellas trail!

We love this place!!! Food and service is always great! Our bartender/server Mary Ann is always friendly, efficient and personable. I had the Mediterranean bowl and my husband had the fish tacos. Both meals were outstanding!

You’ll notice very mixed reviews. Well that tells you how patchy and inconsistent the place is. We ate on a quiet night; this was our first (and last) visit. Plenty of empty tables with plates removed, yet the tables were still dirty. Told to sit anywhere, we had to ask for our table to be wiped ... and eventually it was. Food was straight up mediocre. And the outdoor seating faces the car park. Wait staff were disinterested and, despite very few occupied tables, inattentive. (Though we weren’t in any way demanding customers!) No, won’t be back. With the range of excellent eateries in the area, why would you?

The food was better than expected. Not the most attractive venue, but clean and well maintained. Looks/feels kind of dive bar-ish. Service was excellent. My impression was that the staff was trained with old fashioned customer service as the goal. Location is excellent. In the Tarpon Springs historic district and next to a restaurant that has live music on the weekends. They have a fairly extensive craft beer menu. However, they have selected only the most common/popular options within the most popular styles. Very safe, very conservative - they take no chances. As a craft beer enthusiast who has visited several hundred breweries across the country, there was nothing for me here. The best part of the experience was the food. Everything was excellent. We're kicking ourselves for waiting so long to try this place after moving here a few months ago. We will definitely be back.

Popular with locals, this eatery provides tasty food at reasonable prices and a daily happy hour. I enjoyed my fish tacos at their outdoor room. A nice place to visit.

I recently moved to Tarpon Springs from Destin, FL and have been looking for a hangout with good food, good beer and a good atmosphere. When I arrived, I was excited, the place looked great! I sat outside and ordered 10 of the chicken fingers. You had your choice to have blackened, which the waitress explained since it was fried, it was like a dry rub. I asked if I could get 5 plain and 5 blackened. The waitress said I am not sure if the kitchen will do that. Really? She came back a few moments later and said the kitchen will not do that, but can put the seasoning on the side. It is literally taking the chicken and tossing 5 in the seasoning. Oh well. I got it on the side. My first beer I ordered came in a glass that was hot to touch, must have just came out of the dishwasher, causing the beer to be warm. While I ordered my 2nd beer, I asked if I could get it in a plastic cup instead of a hot glass. The waitress said, yes! A few moments later, she came back and said, "my manager said plastic is expensive and we cannot serve you in a cup!" I was just blown away at everything I asked for which was very simple, I was told NO!

kind and friendly, excellent service, We really like the manager James.
