Pub/bar food. The atmosphere is chilled and the folks are nice and easy to talk to. The food is solid. They do have monthly specials. Street parking or you can park in the corner of East Waters/S. Federal or behind the library.
Great college bar atmosphere as expected. We went for the season opener football game day Saturday brunch at noon and it was packed. It was loud but not too loud to not be able to hear each other. Despite being packed, service was fast and friendly. Better yet, the food was fantastic. We had a mimosa carafe, the garden bowl (best option for someone not wanting a lot of fried food), redneck nachos on tots (seriously one of the best combinations of food I've had in a while) and the chicken sammy (perfectly fried, not over breaded). Prices are very reasonable compared to other similar restaurants. This is absolutely a repeat spot.
What a gem! Stopped in to catch some of the NFL game and meet a colleague. The vibe was college town which Harrisonburg is. Crowd was lively but cool. The menu prices are excellent for what you get. Tried the chicken and waffles along with this girl scout inspired donut. Delicious! Didn't expect it to be honest meaning how good! Bartenders were all friendly and checked on us regularly. Great drink selection and prices.
We chose this place after getting to Massanutten Resort super late. The waitress was so kind and very attentive! The Long Island lemonade, wings and loaded fries were AMAZING! The waitress was awesome and I’m so mad that I fro not remember her name but she was really AMAZING too! I would go back any day!!!!!!
One of my favorite nursing school haunts that I still love to go to at least once a week. Into the 100s on my list! Flavor of the month is always a winner. Great food, great beer, friendly staff!
Really cool place. Crazy things all around. Bar in the middle with seating all around. Staff was fantastic! Great service, even with it being a little busy. It's one of the top sellers of PBR in the country, so make sure you grab one. They even have an award. Thought the food was ok. Wasn't overly impressed with it, but that might just be me. Food came pretty quickly. I would go try'm again, the atmosphere a d service definitely deserves it.
Nice place stopped for a quick bite after a day of driving. Great interior with stuff hanging on the walls. We had a few sliders, drinks and they were excellent.
An absolute awesome spot in downtown Harrisonburg! Service was terrific! Really great vibe in the restaurant. Everyone was having a great time. Burgers was cooked perfectly. The Blackberry Habenero sauce was amazing. Definitely going back..
