👍👍 Man we really loved this place. It's for sure a no frills, very unassuming joint. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was though. Loved everything we tried. They made all their own sauces in-house, and they were insanely good. The beer selection was fantastic as well!

    What a sleeper! When you drive by you have no idea what awaits you behind those doors! All fresh, made from scratch creations that come out tasting just as amazing as they look. Such a cool atmosphere and super friendly staff! Very cool place, we will be back!

    First time visitors from Oklahoma. Highly recommend this small local restaurant. Had the sangria which was very good. Also, had the club sandwich with apple slaw. Hubby had onion rings and a delicious burger. My daughter lives in South Pasadena and said she hasn't had anything here that doesn't taste good!

    Adding one more 5-star review to this awesome place. Highly recommend! Everything we ordered was so satisfying, starting from the deep fried mushrooms. We lucked out by dining in on a early Monday evening, not crowded at all. The staffs were friendly and everything on the menu looked so delicious as well. Took their desert to-go, peanut butter pie, coconut cream pie and ole key lime pie.

    We are at the beach and we're going to eat there but everything was packed with tourist. Ended up not far off of treasure Island on Central avenue. The wheelhouse. We were starving and I had a burger with bacon and an egg. My wife had the chicken tacos. Both were very good. Prices were way better than on the beach and probably better food LOL.

    Every time I've gone thus far, I've been impressed. The food is exemplary... Not at all what you would expect from the outside. As you walk in, you're greeted with a clean bar, a few booths, and limited yet sufficient table seating. The soundtrack of every gen x-er and older millennial plays. Skateboard decks adorn the walls with unique artwork, pop culture characters, bands, breweries, and cartoons all vying for attention. It isn't cluttered, though, it's quite tasteful. The beer menu is ample and the food is always presented well with generous portions and primo ingredients. I've loved every meal there so far, and always bring someone new. Can't wait to go back!

    This place comes highly recommended great neighborhood field and fantastic food. I've already been 2 times and I would just like to say that whoever owns or runs this establishment is doing a very good job of keeping It exactly charming. The wait staff Bartenders and Patronss alike have Come on in and have a seat feel to it. The menu and food Is all very comforting. Simple American delicious food. They have trivial Monday nights. And their BEER selection is pretty awesome

    Nice local gem! We visited this place for dinner and enjoyed our experience overall. The inside décor seemed really unique, designed after a skateboarding theme. The place is fairly small though, so we did have a small wait. Once seated, we were greeted promptly and drunk orders taken. We tried a variety of their foods, including the onion rings and mozzarella sticks to start. They were both good choices. For entrees, we had a few items - the grilled cheese, Wild West mother clucker, and chicken Parma-John. All of the food was delicious and well-prepared. I definitely enjoyed the huge mother clucker the most. The only complaint is that everything was lukewarm. We weren’t surprised by this, as our entrees took an unusually long time to arrive and were probably sitting there for some time. Our waitress, albeit extremely nice and friendly, also seemed new and couldn’t answer a lot of our questions. In general though, those aren’t enough to discourage us from returning. We would definitely recommend this place!

    Our go-to spot for Craft Beers after Church on Sundays. Great beer selection and sandwiches. Big on on the pumpkin beers here. Cool Skateboard theme. Bring your stickers for the bathroom!

    With a recommendation from friends, we stopped in for a beer and dinner. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food! We tried the Nachos and Drrdy Birdy. Al, our bartender was friendly and attentive! We will be back!

    I really liked this place. At a first look it may look a bit intimidating but there was a super nice atmosphere, a great selection of foreign and domestic beers, super delicious food and super nice staff. Music was not to loud so you could have a conversation easily without shouting and the staff was always looking out for us whether we were missing anything. You can have a meal and a drink (and a tip for the nice staff :P)for under 20$. So definitely give it a try :)

    Discovered this spot totally by accident and very glad we did! 50+ beers on tap and new ones every time we go back. The food is EXCELLENT! The Vera Cruz Margarita at 15% ABV is fantastic and a great buy too at only $5. We go her twice a week now. Love it!

    First time here. Nice selection of craft brews, kept it simple with a BLT which was excellent and everyone else really enjoyed their meal. Good beer, good food, good atmosphere, what more can you ask for.

    Wheel good! Enjoyed some fried Zucchini & BBQ wings. Both very good! Note: wings are market price. A sign of the times lol. Super casual place with very, very nice staff. Lots of taps!

    Was invited to meet a friend here and had no idea what to expect. Never been there and just decided to not expect anything. Ended up being a great place that I will be back to. Great service, great food and easy place to navigate. Looking forward to going back.

    Great little local spot! In town for a few days and found it via Google. The waitress was very nice and very attentive. I had the wings and they were good, our niece had a Cheeseburger, my wife had the Chefferson and loved it. We would come back if town ever again, check it out.

    A pub serves American and Germany dishes. The liquor selection of course if good and the food is also decent. Prices are reasonable. Quite busy when I was there.

    What a fun little spot! My moody teen approved! The staff were really efficient and seemed to enjoy working there. I had the taco Tuesday special because it was such a deal! 3 stuffed tacos for like $6. I got the beef, they were very tasty. My son got the chicken bitties which are essentially boneless wings. The chicken parm also passed the test! The decor is relaxed and fun. You can sit at the bar, outside or at one of a few tables and booths inside.

    My husband, sis and brother in law came here for dinner and let me tell you, SO GOOD! I haven't had crispy chicken wings like that anywhere. And the staff is down to earth too. Great beers and soda. We will be back for sure.

    4.5 *. Sat at the bar which was a bit too close/crowded for a first date… Big tap beer selection, had the tuna sandwich. Bar has a skateboarder vibe, beer flights served on skateboards. Clean bar, good service, table seating with minimal outdoor option-parking lot spot in a strip shop.
