Been here 3 times. Food and drink prices are fine. Just wish the service was way better. It was practically empty and I had to wait to close out my tab. This was while my card sat on the bill right in front of the server. Just run my card!!! Luckily the other server swooped in and grabbed my card before I ended up saying something. I know servers deal with a lot of cr** but maybe take better care of the customers and they won’t get upset as often. Wish I had better experiences here… Don’t think I’ll be back again anytime soon. Or ever.

Being a "out of towner" I was looking for a pub style lunch. Found this place and EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS. Service is really good as well. Wonderful place to visit on a beautiful afternoon......

He is just a down right southern gentleman and loves what he does. Very nice place to also eat after the show

Best burger ever!! we were in last night and for only $5 with fries. It was also really nice for the owner to personally check in on us nice seeing you Mike keep up the good work love you guys

Very clean and great food. Could watch the kitchen from my seat and I have never seen a cleaner kitchen and the chef/ cook was very sanitary about how he prepared food ( without knowing anyone was watching ). We will be back.

A fun spot with good service and decent food. Ashley hilarious. This place is a gem and seriously underrated.

Came into the gamblur yesterday afternoon to check out the remodel, wow is all I can say. It was beautifully redone. We sat at the bar, our bartender was very attentive, social and made an AMAZING Bloody Mary. Food and service was definitely a 10/10. The place was packed. My husband and I give kudos to our bartender because our drinks were never empty, and she didn’t even seem the slightest bit flustered about all of the customers. If you haven’t eaten the bang bang shrimp , or tried there delicious pot pie your missing out !!

I was very disappointed with this place I loved the old owner but me my husband and our friend we went to try out the place and the place wasn't busy we sat at the bar and the bar tenders saw us but completely ignored our we kept getting their attention but they kept ignoring us and only worried about the regular customers so we got up a left I will never go back im so annoyed with that place ruined my night

Brought in my tiny emotional support dog who is in a pouch around my chest. Mind you, she is 12 pounds, doesn’t bark, most people don’t even notice her. After spending about 100 dollars, the manager guy comes up to me and asks for proof that she is a service animal. I was fine to show it to him, but correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t it illegal to do so? You don’t go up to a police dog while he is working and ask to see his credentials?

I enjoyed the food and was able to have some decent conversations, it's a nice well lit place with okay music and the wait time for food wasnt too bad, I would definitely recommend coming here for some drinks or hanging out sometime.
