No table was reserved for me, if I had not gotten there early, I would not have had a place to sit.
If you're going to have a reservation system, you need to do something with the reservations that are made via that system.

Friendly (covid safe) greeting, prompt service with drink recommendations, drinks were excellent. The special (reuben) outstanding and the pork chops were good also. Much smaller menu than before but plenty of options.

I needed a place to honor Veteran's Day. I stood at the missing soldier table, and learned why the lemon is on the plate. I ordered the Veteran's Day meal, delicious. The VFW post I went to with my Father is gone now, as is my Father, who served in the Philippines, and my brother, who served in Colorado. Thanks for offering me a place to honor.

There reallly should be a waitress. No one had heard about Wed. night bingo stating up. My fish had smaller sized portions and yet it cost more money . The steak sliders were to be med rare came out well done. Is it the regular cook? It will be sometime before we come back. I was there to see and report back to several wed. night bingo regulars.
