Yet another great visit to the diner. Went last night around 4 am- place was packed.

My server didn't greet me for a few minutes, another staff member had to notify her, but upon looking around, I saw why- she was taking care of 3 full tables way at…More »

    I don't know what everyone's problem is, besides being spoiled rotten. This place is awesome.

Well, contrary to Garrett, I consider this a perfect place for a date, for people like me who like music more than mush.

The bands are always diverse, and I've never heard one I didn't like. The beer is cheap ($3 Tallboys, $2 Mickey's), the…More »

I have to admit that I've only had their pizza, but with pizza that good, it's all I need.

Yep. I'm that girl in the neon fishnets that knows every word to St. Elmo's Fire. The movie AND the song.

This place has everything for a child of the 80's like myself could want. Ironically named cocktails. Novelty furniture. Framed albums on the…More »

Amelie's may possibly be the perfect place. I have definitely lain awake at night dreaming of their turkey, brie, and cranberry compote baguette sandwich. And, as my first review said, I have also driven 20 minutes across town for a pecan sticky bun…More »

DANDY! Why have I not reviewed you yet?

This is a favorite among my coworkers and I, what with the close proximity to our restaurant, the amazing food served til midnight, and $3 Pint Night. The small plates are perfect to split, or to just order 4…More »
