    I have tried to like this place. I just don’t. Not a fan of the menu…if I am gonna pay 20.00 for an entree..can I get a salad…
    Rusty Bucket - BloomfieldResponded 6 days ago
    Hi Karen, We're sorry to hear that your recent visit didn't meet your expectations. We understand that the menu and some aspects of our service didn't quite hit the mark, we always appreciate feedback from guests so when we make menu changes in the future, we can be better accommodating to everyone. Having a salad included with an entree is something we right now do not have, we are sorry. We're always striving to improve, and your feedback is invaluable in this process. We hope you'll give us another chance to impress you in the future. Best, The Management Team

    It's a place to grab typical bar food. The quantity of food is good, but the fish and chips, sliders and o-rings all lacked taste.

    We had a hamburger and salmon with sticky rice. Both delicious. Great service . Our server took our order electronically so it went directly to the kitchen. We paid electronically at our table!
