While working out in the area I wanted to find a local spot with good food before heading back to town. This place delivers on everything one would want. Friendly place and the food is worth a drive back out here. I had the garbage burger with a fried egg added. Exceeded my expectations!

No better spot for bar food in Elyria I suggest the phat- boy sandwich but the whole menu is the bomb.

It’s been over 10yrs since I been here. I had codi coming back in. We are a pretty simple and easy couple so we got our app, followed by our wings. She was amazing..... a couple weeks from our first visit we walk in she knows our drinks and knows our order, to the point she knows when I’m looking at the menu she asks am I getting my cheese balls or switching up. To be honest I ONLY come when Codi and Jimmy are working bc the food and professionalism is what I like to see..... props to the owners for hiring 2 amazing people.YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE FOOD
