I couldn't wait to try this place as I've seen them working hard to get it open. This is in my neighborhood and it seems nothing lasts in this building.
I think a neighborhood bar rather than restaurant might be the answer so I'm wishing them nothing but good mojo.
Walking in, I loved what they did to transform it into more of a bar that serves food than the former restaurants. Very friendly welcome and you feel at home immediately. It definitely has that "Cheers" kind of feel.
The menu seems adequate for the type of place: pizza, wings, fried chicken and several appetizers. We tried the pimento cheese dip, mini meatballs and macaroni salad. I loved the meatballs, they had great spice to them and I believe they were made with sausage and not ground meat. At any rate, they were a home run in my book. The pimento cheese spread was good, but didn't have enough kick for me. Definitely homemade. The macaroni salad reminded me of my Aunt's back in the day. It was too sweet for me but my husband enjoyed it. I would not order again because of the overly sweet taste. The pizza looked good so will try next time. Thin crust.
I am not a fan of paper plates at any time, but definitely not in a restaurant so this was a con for me.
All in all,I liked the vibe and friendliness and food was certainly adequate. Hope they use regular dishes sometime soon instead of paper ware.
I will return and hope it is a neighborhood hit as This area could use a nice, friendly bar with decent eats.
