New favorite joint. Best clam chowder ever. Don't tell the restaurants I've had it in in Boston. Great owners. 1950s Blues Music. Highly suggest. Off of 3rd between Columbia and Jefferson. Downtown on SW side.

Best clam chowder I ever had! The cornbread was delicious and though a turkey sandwich is basic it was amazing! The best oven roasted turkey! My granny would love these sandwiches; they're packed with meat and the bun is lit. The customer service was spectacular! Thanks to the mature gentleman and lady who greeted me, as well as the cheese specialist and cashier! I'm here for a hiking trip and I'm sad I can't grab any food to go! The chowder is life!

I so badly wanted to have a better experience here. The only reason I'm giving two stars instead of one star is because the people here are very nice. But holy cow, the food was just awful. The corned beef was the driest I have ever had in my life, the tomato soup tasted like week-old cucumber water, but that's not even the main issue that I had with my experience here. The biggest issue I had here was when the owners were making the sandwich that I ordered with their bare, unclean hands and palming and kneading the giant clump of bone-dry turkey that they put on the sandwich. Same with the cheese. We are in the middle of a global pandemic and flu season and the owners can't even put on gloves to intimately handle people's food. I will most definitely not be coming back here.

Delicious and hearty soups. The cornbread is delicious. The chicken salad pita pocket is also great. Have been there a dozen times or so and no complaints at all. Favorite place to go during the cold months.
