I’m from Florida, so this is an amazing find. Food was fantastic and the bartender was especially kind and helpful. I had the Brussels w/chicken and deviled eggs. Awesome meal. I wish I had one of these near me! It was Whiskey Weds so I tried a new drink…Brown Derby. Wonderful!

You won't regret …

We sat on the Shaded patio for dinner. Brought our dog and the Restaurant is dog friendly. Located overlooking the railroad switches in Chamblee.
