“ Great bartenders, cook, and owners. We stoped by today for a beer during a bike ride and enjoyed the friendly bartender and cook. Great conversation and they had waters available for our return trip home. The Nugents are doing great things with this place ”
“ Not fancy, but our server was super friendly and had several recommendations for what to try. There is a bar area and a place with tables. It is a typical small town bar. We came in because the ladies at the polling place were eating takeout from here, and it smelled delicious. They do have slot machines in an area at the back for those that are interested. There was also a little window with color books and crayons and stuff for kids to play with. There was a family eating when we arrived and the kids really seemed to be enjoying their food. There is also a patio area outside for warm days. Food was good. I had the Garlic Beef Wrap that the server recommended. It was excellent! Filled with beef and mozzarella cheese and a nice garlic flavor that was not too overpowering. Served with chips normally, but I added fries for a little extra. My husband got the Poor Boy with tots. He thought it was very good. Lots of grilled onions and cheese which he is a fan of. Overall, very good food that I would definitely recommend. Prices ”
