Upon walking it’s not very welcoming BUT we stayed anyway. The service was amazing! Food was even better! Would definitely recommend the chicken Alfredo! Serving size was enough to share. We were even invited back to their karaoke 🎤 night. This is Friday nights I believe it starts at 8! Good fun. They made great efforts to make us feel welcomed and the alcohol wasn’t the best but it was a good time.
We all enjoyed our food. We all got something different- Pizza, Pasta and a burger…..and were all happy and said we would come back again. Great draft beer prices too! The only thing we noticed as we walked in was a slight smell of cigarette smoke. Did not see anyone smoking but was still in the air perhaps from the outdoor area off of the bar.
We ended up being stuck here during a winter storm. Spent a couple days at the Hampton Inn across the street. The people at Mama Rita’s were warm and friendly and could not have been more lovely.Justin and Carey were incredible. They made us feel like we were at home and loved and part of a community. I’ve been in the hospitality industry for 30 years and can I just say they surpassed every expectation that I’ve ever had for hosts. Justin was just phenomenal and Carey was right there with him. I’ve been in five star hotels but I’ve never felt half as welcome as they made me feel To be clear, it’s a very typical dive bar with very typical food but they went so far and above beyond what was necessary that it rates and surpasses the five star review.. kudos to the team here. They are act
The food and service was awesome. They had gluten free pizza and pasta options that I really appreciated. This seems to be a local place that has been around for a while. Highly recommend the wings and gluten free Margarita pizza.
Just finishing dinner here as a weary traveler. Showed up an hour to close with an objective to be expedient. Food came out timely. Very much enjoyed the lasagna. Justin at the bar could read my hurry and told me to take my time and enjoy my beer, which was the exact right thing to say, haha. A gent came around and asked if I had any song requests, but I was vibing with the throwbacks, ACDC era stuff. Really just enjoyed the atmosphere and appreciated the staff's measures to keep me comfortable. Very much recommend for a nice evening!
