Stopped in while walking the trail. Had no idea of the food or service. Excellent service! Great burger we shared. Potato wedges spot on. The cook cut in half perfectly to share.

The bar tender was very nice and fast. It’s your typical small town grungy bar, I expected bar food for sure. That’s fine. But at the very least, you have to do some quality control. I ordered the 1/4 single burger with American cheese and everything on it. Frozen, flavorless patty, shredded lettuce that was brown, mushy and wilted, a tomato that tasted like plastic and the Diet Coke that I ordered was completely flat and tasted like cleaning chemicals. Bar food is fine for sure but at the very least, have some quality control before someone gets sick.

My boyfriend and I stopped in just to grab a quick lunch and were happily surprised to find out that today was the first day the new owner (Josh) was offering a home-cooked fish fry menu, lovingly planned and prepared by his incredible chef Jason.
Jason is a true gem and an amazing cook – every detail is thoughtfully executed. His passion for cooking shines through in every dish.
We ordered one of everything and shared our baskets to sample it all, I only wish we had taken photos of it because it all looked as good as it tasted.
The oversized shrimp were lightly battered and perfectly seasoned; the Ahi tuna sandwich, homemade coleslaw and rice and beans (with collard greens) were all super delicious – but the jalapeño clam hush puppies were my faves and were absolutely amazing!
The service and atmosphere of the entire bar is warm, inviting and very welcoming.
Every Friday through May (for now) Jason plans to cook up more creative home cooked dishes and we can’t wait to go back – you should go too!

I have been there a few times in the past few weeks to check out the new management. I had the fish fry and it was VERY Good. Fish was crispy outside, tender inside. Potato pancakes were perfect. I love the ones that are a little thick, chunky and crispy. Yummy. Friday nights are really busy for the staff to wait on everyone at once. We were patient and had a great meal. I had pizza on another visit. Was absolutely Delicious! Also… You can’t beat the drink prices. It’s an old place that could use some updates but overall I hope to make this my local hangout.

Hands down the best bar in a great small town. Great food, great owners, great time. Fish fry might be the best I’ve had. Fried cod for the win! Tuesday night tacos are omg amazing! I’m only giving 5 stars because I can’t give more.

5 stars. Had to post a review because of all the negative posts from prior to what now appears to be new ownership.
I randomly came in here with my brother tonight and had a great experience, relative to the type of small pub and grill we were looking for.
People were having a good time playing pool, good chill music, and folks moved over at the bar offering to create space for my brother and I to sit down.
Bartender proceeded to great us cheerfully and recommend good menu options without being prompted (I love that).
Contrast this with the experience we had at the bar Jackson’s Hole down the road where the bartender was rude, inattentive, and people stared at you like an outsider when you walked in the door.
I rarely write reviews, but felt completed to do so, given some of the lazy reviews in here. Ex “not open on Sundays – 1 star“ ; “bread with the fish was like wonder bread – 1 star”. Important to calibrate expectations…one does not stop into a bar in Lyons thinking they’re in Lake Geneva. Or so I would have thought. 😉

Heard there were new owners so we decided to go try them out for a fish fry. The fish was good but they give you white bread similar to Wonder Bread instead of rye bread and the potato pancakes were very thick. The check was brought but after 10 minutes the waitress wanted to be paid despite 4 empty tables. We felt rushed. Separate checks for food and drinks. Bring cash! No beers on tap. Won’t be in a hurry to return.

What a transformation! The bar is revitalized and has terrific food. I had a burger, fries & shared an order of cheese curds with my wife. Everything was delicious & the best part was that it was done within the time we had for our lunch break! ATM on site & they take cash, credit & debit cards!
