Customer Reviews

Tonight was the first night I went to this bar and I definitely will continue to go. The food is fresh and made to order. I know that if I didn’t like anything about my meal, they would’ve happily helped me out and fixed it. BOTH cooks had came out at some point while we were there playing pool and eating and asked about the meals. The waitress was lovely as well, always checked in. One of the cooks even had a suggestion when we ordered a second app after dinner. They have pool and darts NOT in the bar area which I also liked about the experience. Many places to sit. Super reasonably priced everything. Food, drinks and game play. Tasted so great I highly recommend this bar!

Multiple TV's with music videos and sports playing. A smaller menu with usual bar and grill type food, but we've always been very pleased with everything on it! Great service, you'll get your food very fast! They have homemade honey mustard that is awesome! There is one small complaint that I can think of, there is only in the street parking. Not a biggie, but worth mentioning. Always a great experience though!

Small mom and pop place. Waitress very friendly and helpful. Food was great. The bill, including drinks, came out to be my average cost at McDonald's. And the food was much better.

Excellent food. Had a bacon cheeseburger there after wasting money at the elbow room, unbelievable. Much better atmosphere and staff too. The wife got the chicken strips and they were amazing too.

I love eating here with my family for Saturday lunches. Classic bar/ cafe food like burgers, pork tenderloins, fries, cheese curds, Cubans, appetizers, reasonable pricing compared with other restaurants. It's great, just like the places I ate at with my family when I was a kid. More bar like in the back half. More restaurant like in the front half. I have heard the weekend breakfast is good but haven't had it yet.
