In the suburban world of chain restauants this place stands out. We were looking for a local place that served kid friendly food. I wasn't sure if this place would foot the bill. I walked in cautiously thinking that 4 adults and 4 kids under 4 would be groaned at. Not at all, as we sat by two other tables with wee ones. I did notice that as it got closer to 7 the clientele didn't look as enthused to see kid heaven. But our waitress was awesome as was the rest of the staff. They sat us where we could keep the two hyper 3 year olds fenced in with the bench seats.
My next happy moment was seeing the Thursday night special of $3.50 for Great Lakes Drafts. Now, I have been cutting carbs out of most of my meals the last month so this was possibly the best beer I have ever had. Or it was the month long absence from beer. I had two and made sure my wife drove back to the hotel (I am a cautious and sensible person).
The food was also excellent. We ordered kids mac n cheese which was pretty good with fries. I ordered the Chili hot dog with sweet potato fries. I loved my meal but again I have barely ate carbs lately so this made this meal all the better. I wish the sweet potato came with a sauce of some kind but they were still pretty good without sauce. The hot dogs are decent size and juicy. Our whole group was quite pleased with the meal as we could order good food for under $10. I was completely full and couldn't even force myself to go get ice cream. This is a gem in the middle of suburban chains. Great service, good food, and a great beer selection. They are also kid friendly.
