This place has been a tradition for me since I was a baby and my mother would walk me over and feed me cole slaw. So, it's more loyalty than anything keeping me coming. \n\nI'm not part of any 'hip' crowd, so the people watching and atmosphere is foreign but enjoyable. \n\nThe food has been sliding steadily downhill for years. They use to make that slaw by hand. Not anymore. But, they have a great selection. \n\nThe service is subpar, almost notoriously so. Except at the bar. The bartenders and the drinks they serve are a reason to keep coming back. \n\nThe patio is lovely all year around. Thomas the cat is a local celebrity. And, you can tell who's working by what music is being played. \n\n3/5 stars: Loyalty and atmosphere keep me coming. Food is always a hit or miss. Service is always a miss. But with good company and a Guinness, who cares?
