Food Scene

The best beer and pizza in a great, casual atmosphere. Well worth the wait for a table (which can top 90 minutes on busy nights). Especially recommend the Apple Ale, and the Chicken Ranch Pizza!

Great place for breakfast/brunch. The crabby omelet is to die for! This place is popular, so expect a wait time for a table, but it's easy to hang out with a coffee while waiting.
