“ Wr came to Hollywood boardwalk due to a 4 hour layover. This place had the best rating and so we decided to stop. I ordered cheesticks and sliders that were delicious and bf order turkey club it was fresh veggies and good. Thank you. ”
“ Rare beach dive on the Hollywood boardwalk. Great beer and drinks with a wonderful view if you sit on the patio or out front. The touchtunes inside is a nice touch and let's you select the music. Typically a great American place differentiating it from the Latino vibes next door. The bartenders are friendly and great. It's locally owned by a family and not corporate. A piece of old florida. This place also has an extensive bar. The food is good. Sometimes they run out of some seafood items but otherwise never had a bad food experience here. For the location and view and service, prices are great. ”
