I've given this place a few more chances and my experiences have been better. Staff have been friendlier on repeat visits and I think their steak sandwich is damn solid and their prices are good.
I've also had their pepperoni pizza with the roasted jalapeños and it was great if you like a spicy pie.
Could still use a reno in the back room to make it more appealing as a bar. Now having lived back in the area for awhile I appreciate it as a local spot to pick up a lunch.
