Giving an extra star only because my parents like their fish sandwiches. However, their service is terrible. My Dad arrived first and ordered a beer from the bartender. She apparently didn’t ask him to pay or start a tab, which seems weird to me for a bar area. I guess they put the drinks on the table’s tab and then you cash out before you go to your table. I wonder how many drinks get forgotten about though, because when my Mom went to order a drink, the bartender came across super confused. So my Mom orders her beer and a few minutes later, our table is ready. I tell my parents and my husband to go ahead to the table, I’ll close out the tab and order a beer for my husband and I. I walked up to the bar, right by the beer taps, in between two unoccupied bar stools and waited to be helped. Four people behind the bar and no one even acknowledged me standing there. Given, two of them were probably not bartenders but a simple “someone will be with you in a minute” goes a long way. The bartender that previously helped my parents was at the corner of the bar talking to someone. She looks right at me and then goes back to scrolling through her phone and talking to who I can only assume is a friend or a regular sitting in the corner. So I wait…wallet visibly in hand by the way. Clearly waiting to order and pay…when this same bartender, makes her way directly across from me, leans back on the bar, and proceeds to look from her right to her left, completely overlooking me. I literally even put my hand up as a signal to get her attention so I can order. She completely ignores it so clearly for some reason she didn’t want to help a paying customer. I’ve been in the service industry and have never experienced this before. We ended up leaving and didn’t stay for dinner. I definitely won’t be back, terrible customer service.

Get there early on fish Friday, as the day progresses the takeout boxes line the counter. Fries and fish are top notch. With large portion sizes?!

The fish sandwich French fries and coleslaw .we got food for 3 people. The fourth is allergic to seafood and could not get anything because of lent and everyone eating seafood and fasting.

Try a burger or the fish sandwich.

Fantastic Etna neighborhood pub and restaurant with excellent fish sandwichs on Fridays. Superb customer service from the chef and bartenders.

Ordered a burger medium, burger i received was super rare and I couldn't really eat it. It was a takeout order so couldn't get it fixed. Basically paid $13 for average to below average French fries. It was my first time eating here and probably the last time too.

I have never been there before so it was a new place to try. I usually don't try outside of what I already know that I like in fear of not liking it, I'm extremely picky. But the day we went here I decided to try something new and I'm glad I did because it was amazing. It was their Hot Bacon Ranch Burger with fries and it came with a side of coleslaw and all of it was amazing. Now my mom got the fish, and it looked like it came right out of the ocean, it was awful..it was barely cooked and extremely mushy. I'm not say don't try it because I'd give it another shot, just never the fish.

Friendly service. Very clean. No waiting. Quiet. Operating on all cylinders. It is a joy to dine here and the beer is always cold. Food is outstanding not greasy. Very reasonable prices. Meals are large too!!

Definitely try the fish sandwich or a burger!
