"Axis is a weird bird.\n\nI've been going there on and off since 2000 (wow I'm old) and it's always held a special place in my heart, mainly because of the friendly staff and the great times I had with friends there during a formative part of my life.\n\nLately I've started going back since I now live in the area again.\n\nAnd it's still good. We go often. But when you have to put on your Yelp hat and become a critic, it's hard to really give it high marks.\n\nThe food is a mixed bag. It's pub grub, sometimes surprisingly good, sometimes kinda bland. I tend to stick to some favorites and never go wrong (Grill Veggie Wrap + Sweet Potato fries + Bloody Ceaser = good times, every time).\n\nBrunch is decent. Patio is nice sized. The atmosphere is casual and fun.\n\nBut the service is pretty sloppy sometimes these days. The waitresses can be a lot of fun, but fun doesn't always mean reliable. And often doesn't.\n\nIt's just nothing stand out, but for some reason I always go back. Just something about it feels like home, in a way, and I never regret it when all is said and done.\n\ntake that for what you will."^^ . "4"^^ .
