This place is fantastic! We went here for dinner tonight and the service was exceptional! All of our food was delicious. The prices are very reasonable. We enjoyed the atmosphere.
Next time we are in the area, we will definitely be back. We both said we would love to have a place like this near our house. I highly recommend this place!

Was looking for something local for lunch and this was the first to pop up in the area. Jordan got my wife and I seated and drinks in just a few minutes and then dropped lots of recommendations for food enthusiastically. We got the fried pickle chips and they were the perfect salt level and not excessively breaded. My black and blue burger was great and my wife loved her Patty melt. Ended up buying a few of the cups because they were just so unique. Would definitely eat here again.

Stopped here on our way home over the holidays. My wife found it through google and we just decided to try it. On that day, they were understaffed in the kitchen and food was slow going out. First and foremost, I give them an A on food. The pork tenderloin sandwich I had was top 1 or 2 of tenderloins I’ve ever had. Great recommendation. The rest of the food was great.
Our server was very attentive and held to the constraint of the kitchen. The reason i give them 4 stars overall vs. a potential 2 is that our kids food was ordered early and came out in a reasonable amount of time. My wife’s food and mine wasn’t coming. After 45 minutes we asked and they realized that the ticket had been lost. So they jumped on it and got our food to us in another 15 minutes. Normally this would mean I’m giving you a 2 or 1 star. However, the food was very good as mentioned above. And the manager was able to give us a compromise on the check that was amicable. So, we were there for almost 2 hours. But had a pleasant experience and would come back through. Just plan for the potential time delay.

All around great experience! The food was delicious with a wide variety, the sweet potato fries are the best. It was very busy for lunch with limited parking, but we were seated right away and had great, quick service. Prices were reasonable, waitress was great with the kids. We will definitely be back!

I don’t even know where to start. When we walked in, the waiter asked if a high top was okay, and before we could answer yes, he said well that’s all we have. It just seemed a bit off putting. After we were sat, our drink orders were taken right away. We got our waters and we waited for the waiter to come back around to take our orders. After 20 minutes he finally came back. After our orders were placed, we waited OVER AN HOUR for our food. Not one time in that hour were we offered refills. We had to flag down our waiter as he was completely avoiding us. He never updated us about that status of our food. The place was nearly empty and there were only 3 of us. We asked to cancel our food but the waiter said they had already started it. 15 minutes later, our food came out. It was cold, which tells you that they hadn’t actually started it until we asked to cancel it. They didn’t warm it up all the way. It was overall just a terrible experience and I would not recommend this place to eat or even drink at.

For an appetizer, we ordered mozzarella sticks. We know at least two restaurants make their own, fresh mozzarella sticks. These sticks were definitely frozen, flavorless and slightly underdone. We ordered a reuben and a patty melt. The reuben had low grade, tasteless quality cheese and corned beef. The corned beef seemed pressed and formed. The patty melt was not tasty at all. The meat was greasy and the onions didn’t seemed caramelized. A patty melt is a grilled sandwich. The rye bread was toasted, then the sandwich was put together. Terrible sandwich that I could not eat more than 1/4 of it. The onion rings were overcooked. The fries were okay. Halfway through our lunch experience, a worker turned on country music, which was not enjoyable. We will not be returning.

Tasty food and quick service. They did bring out the burger with salad when I asked for fries. When I notified them of this they quickly switched it out with out issue, great service! Their cups are all metallic which is fun and there is lots of space between tables which makes you feel more secluded. Lots of tvs if you want to watch a game while you are here. Overall a pleasant place to stop for food.

Although this place has a little bit of bar top, table top or booth seating, most every seat is in good positions for grabbing some eats or drinks and friendly gatherings.
I came in for lunch with a friend after he insisted that they had Bluegill fillers and that they were fantastic!
Well, I was kinda skeptical about this as this really isn’t an offering anyone in the area would normally have, so I ordered a few things that caught my eye.
I was able to sample their homemade Poblano Cream soup and the chili. Both were fantastic! While it wasn’t spicy or super-flavorful like Wendy’s, it was nevertheless good!
I also ordered their Bluegill Fillet basket. Man! These were fried “half-shell” or skin on, but don’t worry as the breading is a fine Mississippi style cornmeal covering and those skins can easily be removed if you can’t find them great!
I heard the fish come from a local farm pond, but I’m uncertain.
The French fries have like a corn dog flavor batter on them and you’re probably going to need to go hungry unless you wanna get bloated eating them all, as they are just that addicting.
Overall, good place for a few beers and a game over a meal or appetizer!
