We both got sick from the wagyu burgers… we were sat at a crooked diagonal table 6 inches away from loud guests on every side, and were constantly being brushed past by extremely young g and inexperienced waitstaff. The chicory salad was good, the dirty martini was bad. Go here if you want to ruin your Valentines Day and not get laid after

Came here for dinner. We shared the burger & fries. Ordered a pepperoni jalapeño pizza, half chicken on mash potato with carrots. The last was definitely the high light of the evening. This dish was outstanding and I will be back for that chicken very often. The man at the door greeting everyone was very welcoming and friendly. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Everyone greets you and says goodbye as you walk out. This place is definitely a hidden gem. I just hope I am a regular by the time more people find them. Good Luck guys you all are on to something here.

We have been going to Peanut Park for a while now, every time our experience has been wonderful! The food is outstanding, especially the sausage and peppers (not your traditional sausage and peppers)! The service is always superb and friendly, and we have a special relationship with the owner Dave - love you Dave!

Slow cold night and service was decent. Food came out quick but was slightly overcooked/burnt. Pasta was great.
