Signature Starters and Shareables We’re Known For

Open your visit with starters designed for quick service and big flavors.

Our starters are built for the table. They arrive fast and pair well with drafts, cocktails, or zero-proof drinks.

Poke Nachos and other fan-favorite appetizers

Poke nachos are a signature shareable — ahi tuna and avocado layered over crisp chips. An example price is $14.95 to help you plan.

Onion Ring Tower, fried calamari, and shareable bar bites

The Onion Ring Tower is a classic bar bite and easy to split; an example price is $10.25. Fried calamari is another crowd-pleaser and often listed near happy hour items; an example price is $12.95.

Starters are meant for sharing and come out fast.
Order paths: one craveable appetizer plus a salad, or two shareables instead of entrées.
Comfort starters sit alongside bolder dishes, so there’s something for everyone.

Reviews often call out nacho chips and burgers among popular items. Use these starters as the first step before choosing handhelds, pizzas, and entrees to complete your meal.

Entrées, Burgers, Sandwiches, and House Favorites

Pick a main course based on appetite, spice tolerance, and whether you want to share or take it to-go. We break down the main decision points so you can choose a meal that fits your plans.

For handhelds, the nashville hot chicken sandwich is a top pick: spicy fried chicken, slaw, and pickles on a bun — example price $15.50. Burgers and sandwiches travel well and make reliable takeout choices when you want a quick meal.

Nashville hot and other craveable handhelds

The nashville hot profile delivers a bright heat balanced by cool slaw and tangy pickles. It’s a compact, craveable option for single diners or casual sharing.

Steaks, seafood, and comfort classics

When you want heartier dishes, consider the 20 oz. Bone-In Ribeye ($32.50), Whiskey Glazed Salmon ($24.95), or Mac and Cheese ($16.50). These are best for slower, sit-down meals.

Pizza as a table option

Pizza is a smart middle ground for groups. Examples include Margherita $12.95, BBQ Chicken $14.25, Pepperoni & Mushroom $13.50, and Carnivore $14.95.

Soups and salads for lighter meals

Choose Chicken Tortilla Soup ($8.50), House Salad ($7.95), or Kale Caesar ($10.25) for a lighter path. Salads pair well with a starter when you want variety without heaviness.

Handhelds: easy, spicy, and takeout-friendly.
Entrées: steak or seafood for a longer sit-down meal.
Pizza: shareable and filling for groups.
Soups & salads: lighter options or add-ons to a starter.
