The service... such great, kind, & fun service. Good vibes all around, and they're gluten aware! I got the Buffalo wings - and personal fave - and they were great. But the service (particularly August ) just mage my whole experience great. Thank you! Will definitely be back when I'm in this part of bk!

What I love most about this place is their portion sizes and presentation with food. In a perfect sandwich or burger, I expect to be able to put the contents of what I’m holding all in one bite. I should not have to mash the top of the bun to eat it. This place assembled their food very well. Everything is nearly put together, not slapped together and stacked 6 inches high Menu is robust, service is great, vibes.. even better. Good choice if you’re in the neighborhood!

Staff are super nice and chill the chicken sandwich and fries were tooooo die for! It’s great and juicy. Not to crazy hot in terms of temp. I cleaned my plate and my best friend also got it and cleaned his plate too!

Dropped in for a Tubular Tursday (refreshing 10 Mai Tais all day Thursdays!) and got the shrimp po’ boy, which was delicious with just the right amount of spice. Fries were hot n’ crispy, plated beautifully. My partner loved the pulled pork sandwich! The staff were attentive and kind, and the vibes were laid back and lovely. A great find a short walk from Prospect Park!
