They are also serving up delicious pub favorites like a Sriracha Russian topped burger, to chicken mac and cheese and a Friday Fish Fry. This place is certainly a local favorite.

Another city favorite is Mader's Restaurant, a classic German restaurant that has been in operation for over 100 years; they first opened their doors in 1902.
