Unfortunately, I’m a little deaf working construction and the staff there was really good. One person complains because we read lips and I was talking to my daughter, but I’m very sorry about that. I have to say the staff is really good. It’s a nice clean place. I really enjoyed spending my time they’re having a couple glasses of wine. The chicken wings were delicious. The soup is good. I like that place. Just some people are having entitlement issues and I didn’t know it was a church, but I guess I could understand I would go there again.

Love the vintage feel of this place! It’s much bigger on the inside than it looks for outside. A variety of video games and pool to choose from. We had an amazing bartender, Emma! Go see her! Food was good, nothing overwhelming. Prices were very reasonable. We can’t wait to go back.

Very good experience overall - glad we stopped in!I think this was once a Steak & Ale or similarly themed restaurant. Apparently they are grandfathered in to allowing smoking in the bar - can’t remember the last time I saw that. It’s a really old place but well-maintained and they have a separate nonsmoking section including restrooms so you don’t have to walk through the smoking section.My wings were excellent and my wife enjoyed her salad. The only odd thing was being out of silverware but we rolled with it. A very good bar food experience overall.

NRT is a regular watering hole for my neighbor and me, when we pick-up food from a nearby restaurant. The draft beer selection is my draw. We have been here many times and will continue.As for the food, I was always curious, but had never been here for food. Well, on this day, my neighbor and I made a plan to hit the place for lunch. The menu is somewhat extensive, but what else do your order at a bar other than a burger, for the first time.I have to say, the burger 🍔 was pretty darn tasty. My buddy thought so, as well. The service was a bit slow, but the food made it worth while. The meat seemed to of good quality and the doneness was perfect. An adequate smoky flavor topped it off. The coleslaw is really nice, for a side item.My notion is to return to try the cheese steak. I'm thinking it should be good. Keep the beers coming. 🍻

First time here. Nice patio. Our server, Cat, I believe was her name, was very friendly and efficient. We ordered the Pete's Burger and the Fiesta Bowl Salad. Everything was fantastic. We will definitely be back.
