“We ordered the shrimp bucket and a Rueben with fries along with a beer. I'm obsessed with the peel and shrimp bucket and I get it every single time. It's about $12, but it comes with a lot of shrimp! Their reuben was good and the fries were crispy. Our total for the entire meal was about $30 which isn't horrible. The service was good and I'd be back!” - Yelp Review
