“ There is a great smoking area and i know they are known for their Pizza which is super yummy but I am lactose intolerant . I did have the chicken strips and a side of fries was $26 without tip. Crazy and not even that delicious! They do pour a good stiff drink per my cousin, i would believe him. Overall pretty cramped and should have a better set up for seats in thr middle. Not really my cup of tea but it was my first time there at night. ”
“ Very short and smug staff both over the phone and in person. All I did was order takeout and they seemed annoyed I called at all. Decent pizza, the crust is surprisingly good though! Would only ever order takeout if I were to revisit… ”
“ Trust me, when I say this is legit Midwest Chicago style pub pizza. My father used to own a restaurant for 30 years. This is as close to his recipe that I have tasted. I moved from there about 20 years ago to move Washington and have been amazed that there is no good pizza out here. The place reminds me of the bars my dad's friends used to own and used to go to to shoot darts after working at the restaurant at a young age. The only other spot is Old School Pzza in Olympia. But that is more like true New York pizza. However at Spuds muahhhhh! Thanks for bringing back memories. Anyone who doesn't like the pizza doesn't know true pizza.. It's even better the next day ”
“ Huge salad portion-two of us shared the add-on mini salad. Thousand island dressing left a bit to be desired. But the salad size was enormous! I never would have ordered a standard pint of just plain ol Mountain Dew soda pop had I known I was being charged $3.95 for it. At that price I should have at least been offered a refill. ”
“ Super kind staff and good food. The music was also good too! My car ended up needing to be towed on the Fourth of July so they allowed me to hang out with my things and order a beer while I waited for a friend to pick me up. Staff was friendly and understanding. Super recommend! ”
