An awesome place for pizza and a beer. Toboggan has a wide range of its own beer, brewed right on the premises. The pizza is made in their wood-fired ovens. The menu has a lot of other interesting options, including salads, tacos and sandwiches. Lots of large screen TVs if you are a sports-type. Live music on certain nights as well.
