4 months agoSteak was cooked to our liking. Staff are friendly and attentive to our needs. A range of clientele when we arrived. The hot dogs are worth trying so good and filling. Nachos are a meal in itself. Definitely will be coming back.

9 months agoDidn't realise they had changed into a sports bar until I see on first table. Maybe they should of changed the logo or name to make them stand out as not a cafe anymore. Really tasty food, good portions and friendly staff
