This hidden gem of a bar has amazing food! The prices are a great value, and the customer service was outstanding! Our bartender Baylee was wonderful! We visited here from out of town, and we’re super glad we stopped in! We will be back, and highly recommend this place!

Watch the women’s basketball game here .
Has a great square bar in the center with tables to the side and back area. I had hot wings and they were on point juicy in the center crisp on the outside.
Order a 2nd order they were so good .. hamburger was cooked perfectly and the beers were cold . They have mixed drinks and they were generous for sure .. this is a neighborhood bar and everyone was friendly.. been around 40 or 50 years. Everyone is having a great time. Vote best bar 3 times for the area ..we will be back again ..

Our first time here. Picked this place due to Google reviews. They were spot on! Fun atmosphere, bartenders are also the servers and we’re great. Super cheap drinks!
My husband had the ham and cheese with fries and it was wonderful. I had the chicken salad sandwich with a side of cottage cheese. The sandwich looked so good when it came out, but I didn’t care for the chicken salad, it had a sweet taste. Maybe that’s just my taste buds. Then after dinner we went and played the slot machines for maybe 20 minutes and won $48 just like that! We played the Wizard of Oz machine. That was fun!!!!
I would recommend this place for sure. I just wouldn’t recommend the chicken salad sandwich.

Great little bar/restaurant. Food was great. Had the burger of the month, the octoberfest burger. Delicious. Super shout out to Jodie for exceptional service. Busier than expected but handled so well for being shorthanded. Just stopped on our way through to visit family up north, but this was a great experience. Definitely would come back.

I had the cod fish sandwich and sweet potato fries. The fish and fries were very good. The bread was burnt on a portion but still edible. The bourbon mayo was outstanding and came with the fries. My wife had the breaded chicken and was very moist and had great flavor. The service was great, and everyone was friendly.

We loved this place. It may have been because we were there on a midweek evening, but it was quiet. A few tables had guests, and a few people were at the bar.

The food was great comfort/bar food. I had grilled ham and cheese that hit the spot.
My son had a special burger that was big and messy. He really enjoyed it. My mom got nachos. We had a fun evening eating, chatting, and even playing a few slots.

The atmosphere evokes images of a 1970’s era lounge and the service leaves a bit to be desired, but the food and the clientele are not to be missed.

They have a burger of the month as well as some typical pub food. I went with the buffalo chicken sandwich and it was really good.

This is a fun place to people watch while having a meal and/or a few drinks.

Scroll to the end for the latest:

1st patronage notes:

1) beverages/food: not a huge selection on tap, I’m sure it’s sufficient for most customers. I did find a good match for the food, though. As for the meal, we had the AYCE fried walleye. DANG!! Don’t bring yo momma, ’cause you just might…..SLAP! The girls kept it coming. “How many more you want?” THAT’S how you serve AYCE!

2) atmosphere: its cozy. Not a huge noisy place sports bar. But the ceilings are rather low for my taste. Whoever was running the tunes was on-point as well!

3) service: prompt and very friendly! The place filled up not very long after we got our first plate and the gals busted tail to keep everyone well happy.

In summary, these guys have a really good thing going here. The service is really good, the food is really good, and the prices are the icing on the cake!! $30 for a pitcher of beers and 2 plates of AYCE WALLEYE with sides… yeah I’ll be back!

Addendum: we came back the following Friday for more fish. This place is getting SERIOUSLY CLOSE to a 5 status!!

1-19-24. We went back for our 4th or so visit and it was not the same. Whole different wait staff, and much different service. We were greeted and had our order taken almost immediately. We got our food and drinks and then crickets for the next 30+change minutes.
When we did have a server stop by, it was a walk-by to take my plate and not to ask if we wanted more AYCE fish (which we did). Nor did she inquire as to our preference regarding our empty beer pitcher (we preferred it full 1 more time). Once I asked, we were delivered an over-full basket of fish and fresh beer. This was good.
The bar was kinda busy, but the dining area was sparsely seated. I will be back, but a repeat will probably result in the loss of a star.

3-8-24 We’ve been back a few times since the last report. Gotta say, it’s been awesome every time! Harley and Cinnae? (sorry, just… sorry) are absolutely TOP NOTCH gals! Our arrival to “our table”, is almost immediately greeted by our favorite drinks. Like, tonight they were decent busy at 5pm when we arrived, by the time we sat down, Harley was already pulling our pitcher!!! These folks are just the best! It feels right here.
