To keep our fare delicious and healthier, no added grease or oils are used in preparing our handcrafted soups, sandwiches and appetizers. Our hand made pizzas are known as the best on the river - and described as “the best I’ve ever tasted” by patrons from around the country.
 
As a tribute to the owners’ Irish ancestry we also serve specialty items like Limerick Ham, Champ, and our famous Irish Potato Soup.
