"Really wish this place was in my area!! This is the kind of place that would thrive in Collegeville! I mean, it’s only an hour drive, but I’d legit be there all the time if I were nearer. Right off the bat, beautiful restaurant interior, especially the stunning bar. Bright and cheerful without being overbearing or passé. Modern and yet somehow cozy. Loved it! The chairs at the tables... hello, something very unexpected: you think you’re going to sit on a simple wood chair, but your butt is greeted with soft leather cushion! Nice touch. Followed by terrific service, with a kind and patient server and support crew. Love that, especially! We tried a bunch of offerings: Malanga Chips Tzaziki :4/5 Cheese Curds: 4/5 (They arrived a few minutes after their fry, meaning the jam soaked a bit more into the cues and the cheese hardened faster than one would like but that’s nitpicking— otherwise, delish) Chicken Parm 5/5 Bucatini pasta accompanied the Chx Parm 5/5 The restaurant really kept the customer’s satisfaction in mind and allow us to sub out of red sauce for the pasta and try the fontina cream sauce. They basically gave us a side pasta of another dish the White Bolognese, which was so gracious. And even more delicious! Chicken Skewers 5/5 Plain Tots 5/5 Zesty Cucumbers 4/5 (a bit salty) Vegetable Lasagne 4/5 The Shelby Burger with fries 100/5! (By far one of the best burgers I’ve had, ever... and that’s serious. I love thin patties because it gets those crispy ends when cooking on the flattop grill— I was in heaven. As was my hubby, who’s nickname growing up was “Burgers”. Really, this was the highlight of the whole shebang) Cucumber Gimlet 4/5 Coffee martini?? Can’t remember the name 5/5 We really enjoyed ourselves. The husband hasn’t shut up about the burger and it was MY meal! Please consider expanding south. We need places like you to make our lives better. Tired of national chain restaurants that suck.
