Around The Bend Bar & Grill

Food was amazing! Staff was some of the best I've seen on my 36 years of living. If I could rate this place higher I would! Shout-out to Denise, Maddy, and Emily. All amazing people! Also on wonderful October night, I had the country fried steak! Amazing! Great staff, great food, and shout out to Alexa!!

Passing through the area and looking for a down to earth, clean, friendly and affordable place to eat. We were a party of eight that showed up near closing and instead of staff being annoyed, the host; server; bartender; and owner were nothing but friendly and helpful and happy to see us. Even the fellow patrons were friendly. Not only was the food great- biggest chicken wings I have ever seen- French onion soup was bubbling hot and salmon and nachos were delish- the drinks were prompt and well made. Prepared to accommodate small and large parties, and although it’s a few miles from the interstate “around the bend” is worth the stop! Easy parking, great people, outstanding food in a clean pub-style environment.

I loved everything about it don’t get me wrong, the people, setting, vibe everything I loved. People were very kind and very thoughtful. But I was in for a treat, fried steak? More like fried beef patty after unraveling a INCH of fried badder of the “fried steak” it not only scared me but traumatized the 2 others that was with me, the lady that saw my unraveled fried beef patty and told her, “can you please get this dish away from me?” And she was very kind about it and offered anything else but after seeing what was a so called “fried steak” I couldn’t look at the menu again, DONT GET ME WRONG the other things on the menu sounds lovely but that fried steak scared me. DONT GET THE FRIED STEAK!

Sadly to say, I don't understand these five star reviews at all, they have to be bought or from friends. The wings are coated with thick breading which is hard to chew and not noted on the menu. Had I known that, I would not have ordered them at all! The french fries are shoe string and don't maintain the heat and the "beef" gravy tastes like onions. The French onion soup is less than desirable and reminds me of dish water soup that lacks any really flavor. The ice tea has no sugar added and is annoying to have to wait for it to melt on it's own.... definitely not worth the cost, better to cook at home. Seen some friends who later stated similar disappointments. Sorry, its just not worth the $$$$

Friendly service, great food. The owner took the time to tell me the best way to get to my destination (GPS isn't always right.) This little spot is a diamond in the rough with customer friendly hours for both locals and travelers. Start with the nachos, you will be impressed!
