Trivia at 6:30. Fried dough pizza from 4 - 10.

One tests how much random information you’ve been carrying around for years. The other is fried dough covered in sauce and parmesan.

Clock out, pull up.

Happy Hour runs Monday through Friday from 3–6 PM, and there’s no better place to spend those three hours than at the bar.

Three hours. Zero obligations. That’s a pretty good deal.

Whoever decided bacon belongs on chicken alfredo was having a great day.

New specials this week include fried shrimp platters, lemon pepper chicken wraps, chicken caesar salad sandwiches, truffle parm fries, chips & queso, and a snack plate that’s basically an entire drunk group chat on one dish.
