| - I've seen a couple reviews saying this is a dark & seedy bar vibe... but I was kind of curious about what they're all about one morning for brunch. I didn't find anything seedy about the inside. In fact, I liked the circular small vibe- the space is basically one room with a large wooden bar centered around the middle. I can see why people get the "cheers" vibe.
I was surprised that it wasn't smoky, I warned my hubby that it might be smoky- nope, and actually really wasn't overwhelmingly smelling of smoke TBH.
We came in to try their wonderfully priced brunches because we were sans our little guy, and to have a little day date in a bar that normally we wouldn't do (no one under 21). Ordered the biscuits 'n gravy, over medium eggs and the fella ordered the steak 'n eggs, medium on steak and eggs.
Having been on a biscuits & gravy kick lately- these were better than the last 3 restaurants I've eaten at; there were good sized pieces of tasty sausage in the gravy and it was just right - not too thick, not too thin, sauce not broken. Eggs cooked perfect, biscuits were good. The steak was over-cooked, because it was thin cut- but the potatoes, eggs and the flavor of the steak were all good and plenty to fill up on.
Our server was attentive and took care of anything we needed- she checked in and was on top of drinks or refills (I had a mimosa that was just fine) and I won a little money on video poker - it's my first time in 2017 playing- my partner and I played together, so that was fun. We had a decent breakfast under 20 bucks, and an entertaining time, too! BTW... they have ROOT BEER on tap, and after learning that they are affiliated with Ellis Island in town- it's probably home brewed and really good. Gotta wait 'til next time to find out.
