They allowed us to use their private dining room rather than sit in the bar area. This made our experience with a party of 20 most enjoyable.

Service was almost nonexistent. There appeared to be two other parties in the restaurant, so they weren’t busy at all. Our food took nearly 40 minutes, and our chicken sandwiches were cold and extremely dry. When the food was delivered, one meal wasn’t correct, but no one came to check on us. On a positive note, the Bavarian pretzel with beer cheese was delicious. Otherwise, it wasn’t a great experience, and we won’t be returning.

Sorry to hear you had an unpleasant experience with us. It frustrating to wait for a long time for a meal especially when it didn't meet your expectations. Glad you enjoyed the Bavarian Pretzel with the beer cheese, but it's disappointing that the rest of your meal and service didn't live up to the same standard. Your feedback is important, and we hope to can make it right on your next visit.

Muscles are top notch. All of their salads are great - good portions and taste. I highly recommend them.

Try their burger combo with a egg on top - you won’t regret. Service is always top notch. Try this place out.
