I've been here a couple times and both have been great. Once for happy hour and once for lunch (after finding out Melt had a 45 minute wait on the a weekday, whhhaaaa?!?) Anyway, I digress...
Deagan's is a really well put together bar/restaurant for the 28 plus crowd, which I am, so I love it.
I had a grilled cheese and tomato bisque that was amazing, who needs Melt? I don't really believe in waiting in a queue when there are so many great options, and I've never had to wait here. Great option in Lakewood!
