Best KPortal Reviews

The place is small and feels very cozy. It's almost like eating dinner with a large family. The staff members were super friendly and checked in on you enough but not too much.
The place had a lot of nice rustic decorations that brought back some nice memories.
The menu has a variety of things to choose from. We chose the brisket and fish dinners. The brisket was sliced thin and has a nice smoky flavor to it. The meat was tender and had some fat still holding on for flavor. The choice of 4 different sauces just added to the flavor. The tater tots were cooked perfectly with them being crispy on the outside but not dried in the middle. The fish was flavorful and had a nice coating on them. The French fries were perfect as well.
It’s a small place filled with flavor and kindness. Definitely will stop in again, when able.
Our service was absolutely so good and the fish was amazing. We got the wonton appetizer and that was also really good. Bloody Mary was good too. Over all good spot to grab a bite!
I stopped by here for a business lunch after a recommendation and they did it disappoint. I was seated promptly at a flat top and ordered a cup of cheddar ale soup that was excellent. I also had the turkey bacon avocado sandwich with kettle chips that was very good. 7 craft beers available from local breweries. Daily specials.
Flat top and booth seating. Friendly efficient service. Clean restroom. WiFi password provided. I would definitely recommend and return.
Very good food, very friendly service. I stopped by one day having pretty low expectations, figured I'd get a bar burger and fries and was very surprised by the experience that followed. The person running this place obviously loves food and it shows, while also being better run than most restaurants. Anything is good, but I suggest exploring the Mac and Cheese variations.
Large group of picky women and everyone was happy. Waitress was wonderful and friendly. Mac and cheese which is usually just a safe bet was EXCELLENT! Nachos were good just not my taste so that was the reason for 4 stars not 5..can not recommend enough. Was told the kitchen makes a lot from scatch and it is good! Definitely a repeat customer when in the area.
Fish me and my wife had really didn't have any flavor. It was good but bland. My wife was disrespected by one of the other customers and the staff didn't do anything about the situation. The whole place was loud and people were talking at every table. Disappointed in the way things were handled cause it could have got out of hand with everyone that was there. We were there on 11-4-23 and the guy that attacked my wife didn't know the situation we were dealing with but to tell her to get off the phone when the whole place was loud was pretty rude and could have turned into a bigger fiasco. Everyone was loud but my wife's conversation was bothering one of the other customers so he decided to come tell us her conversation was bothering him yet you couldn't hear her over all the other commotion. Every table was full of people talking some louder than us but her on the phone apparently was worse then everyone else and it was a personal conversation that should have not been interrupted. This guy didn't know what the situation was and could have just kept to himself but decided that he was the king and told my wife to end her conversation in the restaurant. Might want to monitor your guests a bit better cause I haven't been in that place in years and I know it wouldn't have happened years ago when I frequented this establishment. This guy was also two tables away from us.
Ordered the turkey bacon avocado with sweet potato fries . Omg the sandwich was so delicious and the sauce with the fries ???????????????? Debra was my server and so pleasant will be back
We stopped by here on our way to somewhere else. The lunch specials were all different Ruben sandwiches. We each got one and they were excellent. Very meaty. The fries were perfectly done. Nothing was greasy or soggy. Our waitress, Shantal, great. Friendly and efficient. The water and coffee tasted great, too! Everything was spotlessly clean, including the bathrooms.
