Pleasant staff, quick service with a definite 1950's vibe. It's THE PLACE to get genuine spruce beer (perhaps an acquired taste). Street parking is generally available nearby.

The food is great, the staff are quick & welcoming, it can be crowded during lunch or dinner time so come a bit earlier to beat the crowd. Overall a really great place to grab a quick lunch.
