If this wasn't a chain I'd only give it 4 stars, because honestly the food is pretty boring, but it's a chain. Chain restaurants are about consistency, and the food is consistently ok. The big things I liked about this place was the huge tap list, the service, and the dog friendly patio. For a while now, we've driven by at odd hours and seen that the patio always seems packed, and that was the case even when we left at 9pm on a Wednesday. If you want a chill place to grab some beers, and have some food that you're already familiar with, this is definitely your place. We will certainly be back here whenever we want a relaxed date.
Oure Waitress was amazing all around. Wait time for food was normal. Had a 20 minute wait for a group of 4 on a Friday evening, not bad at all. Food was delicious, definitely recommend. Tab was $220 for 4 people.
The food was pretty generic. I had a cheesesteak and my brother got the chicken parm. Felt like the food was very corporate and didn’t have a lot of personal touch. The steak in my sandwich was on the dryer side. The Coleslaw hadn’t sat long enough to be soft. It was like they took fresh veg and dressed it and sent it out. Needed to sit another day. Fries were crispy and tasted great. The chicken parm was better and more authentic. The outdoor patio space was pretty cool. Our server was fantastic and very personal. If you’re looking for a chain restaurant this could be a decent choice.
Excellent service! We enjoyed a light dinner of salads and a small pizza. The salads were fresh and crisp. The other items were served piping hot.
The clam chowder was thick and hearty, filled with clams and potatoes. The bowl was much larger than I thought it would be.
The salad portions were also big. They were served nice and cold with fresh ingredients. A perfect amount of dressing accompanied the salads.
The small pizza was just the right size for one person. It was stacked with ingredients and was very flavorful.

Pretty good experience, only two small issues. Water took a long time and appetizer came out with main dish. Defeats purpose of appetizers and makes me want return it even though i never do.
Pretty good but their deep dish pizza is a deep crust pizza. Bunch of bread.
Had to edit this because apparently manager thought thick crust instead of pizza stuff is good thing. No it is not. Deep dish pizza doesn’t mean thick crust. It means thick layer of ingredients. If I wanted bread I would order breadsticks or something.
Update.
Wedge salad is terrible. Old cabbage. Terrible old red edges - see for yourself.

The food was good and the outdoor seating space is cool! Our waitress was very friendly and nice. The service was good, too! We enjoyed our dinner and we liked the Margarita Flight, and not so many places offer this sampler! The bone-in wings is so good, especially if you like your wings crunchy!
