charming, friendly atmosphere! Automatically welcoming us inside, the waitress was also incredibly swift and warm. She suggested the California omelette, and it was fantastic.
Awesome lunch and great service. Club sandwich is the best in the north shore and the burger was cooked just right. Best brunch/lunch place I've found nationally in a long time.
I rate it BEST Burger on the Northshore! I love mine medium and the chef nailed it! Also ordered sweet potato fries! I tried and loved the spinach and artichoke chip, homemade chips make it! The eggplant sticks and fried mushrooms are amazing! The seasoning on the “home fries” is hittin’! Closed Mon and Tuesday! Located at the foot of the Causeway!
Interesting local history
