“ Stopped here for lunch while exploring the East Village on my day off. Wonderful service and the food is excellent!!! I ordered the Chief Beef and their homemade fries. The front windows open like a garage door giving an indoor dining experience an outdoor dining feel. ”
“ Cool place, good food, great service! Got the aloha chicken, which was great and our server was nice and funny and our food came out quick (but given that it wasn't that busy anyway on a Friday for lunch) 10/10!! ”
“ Alex is the MAN. Wonderful service from the guy. Food was outstanding. If you need a place to get meatless chicken wings you found it! Can't be beat. Top notch. A plus. Prime time. Just do it. ”
“ We went last night for some drinks and appetizers and our waiter was awesome! The entire staff were amazing (Mustafa was our bar tender last night). I had the Spinach & Artichoke dip, and we all shared the Jumbo wings, “Lay off me I’m starving” fries, the Chislic (Tender steak bites...) and we ordered the No More Tears (on tap) which wasn’t as bitter as I expected it to be due to how dark it is. It had a sweet hint to it. The Peanut Butter was also really good. We came back today to order more Chislic for lunch and we also got the Jalapeno Cheese Curds (EVERYTHING is so good here!) The waiting staff today have also been absolutely exceptional. Claire was our waitress today and she was absolutely the nicest and friendliest! The bar tender today (Izzy) was also so friendly and helpful. We will definitely make this a regular stop when in town! ”
“ I love their automated deals generated on their Facebook page with messenger. My youngest son and I got a high quality burger cooked to our preference with a meal for the same price we could get fast food meal deals! They offer drinks and the big screen for your social time or a nice family meal like ours shown here. Oh, and they have a cash discount my oldest son can share value on for both the consumer and business owner. ”
“ Came here for lunch, it was pretty quiet and wasn't too busy. Food came out quickly and tasted great. Staff was friendly and attentive. My biggest compliment goes to their wide beer selection. It was a great place to stop at for lunch and seems like a great place for a night crowd. ”
“ I came to get something to eat after a long day of work and I still had work to do. Ordered a drink and some food, but the best thing was getting to meet Tricia, the awesome waitress that made me feel welcome, relaxed, and most of all took away my stress. Come out with your work laptop, some headphones and order some Tennessee hot chicken sandwich, then have Trisha tell you a joke .. ”
“ Went to the speakeasy side--Alleged Lee's. Beautiful space, delicious cocktails, friendly bartenders, and plenty of space. There's also a closed patio that was very inviting even in the midst of winter. I also love that there's a Touchtunes system, darts, and pool here! ”
