    This place has amazing atmosphere. Took a very long time to get our meal, too long!! Appeared to have plenty of staff on in the kitchen? Food was average. Nothing exciting.

    What a great place to stop in for lunch and a look around. Food was fantastic with some great options. Looking around at the old decor and memorabilia was awesome.
