As a long time customer I couldn't be any more appreciative of the owners and the staff. Being a regular every Thursday night, after suffering some health issues, having a healthy choice on the menu that changes every week is amazing! I am so very thankful! This place will always be a staple for me and for those reading this.... It should be for you too. Thank you.
Randomly happened upon this place after a flat tire interrupted our trip home. Shannon recommended a burger or rueben, which we ordered along with a grilled chicken sandwich and open faced roast beef sandwich. Everything was delicious, and the service was top-notch!! I dropped a star on atmosphere only cause the patrons were cheering for Alabama. 😜
Very solid local bar in Laurel. Once Commanders season starts again, I'll be sure to be back. They also have darts, though I haven't played that there just yet. Their food selection is solid. Be sure to order food early because their kitchen isn't open too late! It is, however, worth it to have top tier food here.
I’ve been going here for years, the staff is amazing, the food is delicious. I compare it often to the “Cheers” bar, it’s friendly and welcoming. Often when people from my corporate offices travel I recommend they stop by and have all shared positive experiences as well. Lenny is an amazing owner who cares about his patrons and is always checking in, saying hello. Highly recommend this place, it’s filled with friends you just haven’t met yet!
Great food and service. Best burger I have had in some time! Huge shout out to Shannon for the excellent service.
been operating since the 1950 The location is actually a trolley station that dates back to 1908 Lenny Wohlfarth Legend of good foods and keep the pulse of a mom and pop place open
Truly delightful. I will make it a point to eat here before every Laurel Mill Playhouse show, moving forward. The grilled cheese was everything I needed it to be.....And the fried pickles were perfection. Best of all, the vibes were on point. Will be back!
This was my first time here, and I really enjoyed it. The place clearly has a bunch of regulars too. I got the shrimp scampi, which was tasty and had a very nice presentation. I was too full to try the carrot cake but hopefully I’ll go back soon and save some room!
This spot is a gem. Food was great nice quiet atmosphere. Like 10 tvs. Drinks was on point. Me and my wife stopped in to avoid traffic going back into the city. Go and see for yourself this spot is a win
Great people and a welcoming atmosphere. We are always struck by how nice everyone is there! Pam (the owner) and Shannon are always so welcoming and the service is always so quick, especially for a bar! And those two always remember what you've ordered before even if it's a side of bbq sauce to go with your fries : ) Food is good and they have a great beer selection. It's definitely just a nice local place to relax in Laurel. If you like to play darts or just watch sports in a chill place then this is the place for you. One of our favorite places in town and very much the quintessential neighborhood bar without fanfare but with a lot of good character.
