I was a walk-in for a to-go Order. Immediately Sarah was my server and confirmed the menu I was looking at online is outdated. She provided the correct menu and took my order.

I ordered 3 different plates in case I was disappointed, which I was disappointed and disgusted… I ordered the Crispy chicken pasta (0/10) just cheese and noodles it was poorly made and no taste or ounce of seasoning. The Chicken tenders and fries (3/10) were definitely underwhelming and odd tasting. Like they were made already and refried. I did not try the fries towhereas they were already soggy by the time I walked to the truck. I also ordered All Flat Chicken Wings (0/10) I did not receive all flats, the jalapenos whiskey sauce taste like straight oil with no crunch or crisp to the chicken. I ended up being allergic to the wing sauce. What’s shown in the pictures is what I received. I only finished one chicken tender because I needed to put something on my stomach…. Sad to say, but this was $57 worth of food in the trash!

We decided to try their Thanksgiving Dinner special: turkey, potatoes, stuffing and all the fixings for a fair price. The log cabin feel of the restaurant was PERFECT! Thank you to staff who worked the holiday, the were kind and efficient!

Having breakfast here. The food is pretty good, but the service is just okay. The atmosphere is nice and comfortable. Really liked the display of classic cars — a great touch that adds character to the place.

You wouldn’t know this bar is also a truck stop, diner and convenience store all in one stop. Incredible diner food from next door and they throw concerts almost every weekend. The summer is always packed with up and coming artists. Check out their wall of signed photos of the legends that have came through. Area is tough, but it’s the best country bar around.

We were just there on December 5,2025 to see Evil Eyes, they were great too. We were in the VIP section. Sammy was our server, our order took forever, they were not that busy but she told us if we wanted more water there was a water station down around the corner. By the time we got our food it was way too salty, I had taco salad my husband had the fish and chips and our friends had the nachos, they said they were dry hardly any cheese and you could definitely tell. Our bill came to $81.00, not sure what our friends’ bill came too, but we come here quite often and it was terrible, especially for being in the VIP section. So when we checked our bank account on Sunday, there was an additional charge of $71. We had seperate bills by the way. So not sure what was going on, we did get our money back though. We would like to come back in January to see Chase Matthew, but kinda hesitant…Definitely dont want VIP, I feel it’s better on the bottom floor. This was the first time we’ve had this experience here. We enjoy coming here. Hope to come back and it be better. Thanks!

Went in for lunch, got a table right away. Music playing in the background, but easy to have a conversation. The waitress was very polite and came back often to check up on us. We both had the burger, which turned out to be a huge 1/2 lb patty! The food was great! The Bloody Mary’s were good too! We will be back 🙂

I had the opportunity to try the open faced roast beef sandwich because it’s been years since I’ve had one. As expected for a Bar and Grill food establishment it was excellent. The mashed potatoes were made fresh not Instant. The roast beef was thinly sliced and I guess pre portioned, I would estimate (4-5 oz). I would’ve been more satisfied with at least 8-10 oz. ($16.50 after the military discount) They used regular thin white bread…I was expecting a Texas Sized Toast grilled (browned) with pulled apart beef rather than the thinly sliced. The gravy was okay for the potatoes and beef. My waitress Neely was very attentive and also very polite. They do honor Military discounts so that was a plus indeed. They have Pepsi products so if you’re a Coke (zero) person you might want to bring your own bottle of coke and ask for ice. They don’t have a problem with giving you free ice. The atmosphere was awesome as the room light was a dim and the country music was playing the the back ground. The sounds of folks playing pool and others enjoying the food. Overall I recommend this establishment favorably.
