Customer Reviews

"Best battered wings in Johnstown!! This was the first place I ate at when I moved here in 2000. I don't live nearly as close, but when you want Great Battered Wings, this is the place to go. I couldn't even tell you what else they serve, if I'm there, I'm getting wings and cold beer!!"

"Nice local pub that needs a little TLC. The burgers and fries were great! You forget how great a real burger is with all the fast food. The wings are one of a kind. Large with a crispy outside and a moist, meaty inside. A must if you visit Johnstown."
