“ Typical bar and grill. Nice place. It has a lot of history for me as Xenia's. My co-diner and I had the chicken tenders special for 13.00. This included fries which were well-seasoned and crunchy. The buffalo sauce was spicy but not too spicy. The server behind the bar was helpful and very considerate. Good place for lunch. ”

“ Look, it’s a local dive bar that allows indoor smoking. You’re there to have a good time, not smell good. Treat the staff right and they’ll treat you right. Order the chicken tenders with ranch. Go on a Browns game day. Drink cheap beer and take shots. Play pool. Close the place down. We love this place. Hope it never changes. ”
