“ Bartender was very attentive. She let me sample a cider on tap and made great old fashions. Great chill spot to close out the night. ”
“ Cool local place, usually busy so you know it is a good value. I felt it was a shade overpriced but I'm talking 15%. Burger was good! Had live music when we were there, the guy was great. ”
“ I didn't vibe with one of the staff members she came off a little curt giving me what I perceived, rude looks, other than this everything was good and service was good, food was yummy and there was live music. They serve a really good Moscow mule which isn't always the case. ”
“ Stopped by mid-afternoon on a Thursday expecting a small local gathering of afternoon drinkers. Place was 1/2 full, almost everyone eating. Ordered the salad and the perch basket. Both were excellent and worth the wait. Reasonable prices, cold beer. Recommend Will return ”
“ Took our catch of the day in for lunch and it was fried up perfectly as always. Our sides were great as well. Service with a smile ”
“ We stopped here for the second time. The first time was a different owner this owner did an amazing job with the remodel. The food is so yummy. The service is top notch. ”
“ I had to leave a review even though we left before we were served anything. We stopped for lunch on Saturday of Labor Day weekend. It was busy. The bartender was flying solo. She was doing the best she could. There were people waiting for drinks, waiting for food, and waiting at the door for a clean table. We were on a schedule, and this wasn't going to do for us. It was a nice little place, and we will stop by for something to eat another time. When it's not as busy. ”
“ Anyone in town or outskirts looking for a good (Perch) dinner I would definitely highly recommend these folks. I never had the privilege to actually sit and drink in their bar and I hope to one day do. But I got a to go order and went to pick it up. Called, placed an order and 15 minutes it was done. Very, very, very good perch. Will definitely be back thank you for your hospitality. Keep up the great work. Very satisfied customer. ”
