    I had reached out to the General Manager, Mr. Blackmon several weeks in advance to inquire about having a discontinued menu item available for our table. He was very accommodating and when we arrived we were assured that it was prepared for us. I want to thank him for his assistance in making our evening especially special. The service, as always, was very special. Very attentive but not hovering. We never felt rushed and we were left to enjoy the company of everyone at our table. Our table greatly enjoyed several of the appetizers and our menu selections were done perfectly. We had an excellent evening and again, thanks to Mr. Blackmon and his staff!

    I made reservations for a family dinner on Thursday night. We were greeted promptly and shown to our table. Although the rest of my family had been there before, this was my first time. Our server Matthew was friendly and helpful. They have an extensive bar menu as well as Coke products. We had the Street Corn Crab Nachos, boneless wings, cheesesteak, and the chicken sandwich classic. We split an order of crab fries. The portions are not huge and are appropriate sizes. The food was delicious. There are many TVs playing sports. There’s a good vibe. There’s also a parking lot because the restaurant is near a shopping center in Drexel Hill. We’ll definitely be back.
