    Food was great. Portion size was very nice. Our Bartender /Server was in a great mood being it on Christmas Eve. Only thing was I didn't get my meal and that was ok. I understand how crazy it is on the holidays.

    Dawson's is a neighborhood favorite. Not many places offer meatloaf, and the sandwich was awesome. My friend had a Fish Sammy and it looked amazing. Nice and crunchy.
