This is one of the best places in troy to eat with a great atmosphere with friendly staff. I and my family made this a regular place for lunch. Never does it disappoint.
I love it here. I come here whenever I'm in Troy, a couple times a year.Their vegan wings are awesome, as are the vegan mozzarella sticks. There's always a great selection of beer including several varieties of AF. The staff are ALWAYS lovely.
