Spankies has become a Sunday tradition. The counter and bar staff are relaxed, friendly and helpful. The food is excellent as always and lunch portions are available.

Casual, comfortable, delicious food, great service and reasonable prices. What more could you want? The bar staff and wait staff have been keeping the customers happy for so long that the warmth has soaked into the barn-wood flooring and it just comes out to greet you as you walk in the door.

College town hang-out, but also good for after concert suppers and just about any time! Their cheese bread appetizer is incredibly good and I've not had anything that wasn't delicious - it's all yummy! Also some good local brews.
