    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.

    Their happy hour food is great with a wide selection. Draft beer and wine specials to wash it down. Service is fast and friendly. This is our go to place tor Thursday date night. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

    My wife had the hamburger special - bring you hunger cause it’s big, juice and tasty. I had my normal street tacos which are packed with grilled chicken. We shared a serving of mussel which was plenty. Ask for extra bread to soak up the tomato based sauce. Don’t miss this for happy hour specials.

    Food is good for the most part. They won’t split a check into more than 4 checks which is super annoying but otherwise a good experience. Also, they validate parking so ask at the front desk before you leave.

    Service was exceptionally poor. Customers should not have to beg for water. Dinner should not take 3.5 hours because wait staff are inattentive. Over priced drink order was wrong. Bathrooms were dirty and had no hand towels or dryers for hands. Angry that I was charged 18% tip for such an exceptionally poor service.
