Life @ The Edge fun local spot with a great food menu as well, had a charbroiled ribeye burger and was quite tasty. Very friendly and speedy service I hope to return if on this stretch again one day.

Amazing People, Amazing Atmosphere, The food is very incredible!!! Can't wait to go back! The Edge's staff and regulars make you feel like family! No drama there, just awesome people!!!

★★★★★ 5.0 River Rott · Oct 2021

The Edge is a casual and friendly bar and grill popular with locals and travelers. Recently (Oct 2021) we have eaten lunch there twice. Both times we had very good sandwiches: including a hand breaded tenderloin, grilled tenderloin, 1/3 lb cheeseburger, fries and onion rings. The burgers were juicy and tasty, and I particularly enjoyed the hand-breaded tenderloin. The fries and onion rings were tasty and not overcooked. The prices are reasonable, and the daily specials add chips and a pickle spear. We drink pop, and The Edge has both Pepsi and Coke related products in cans for $1.00. Although the exterior isn't fancy, the employees were friendly and efficient, seating is plentiful, the interior well lit and clean, the restrooms were clean, and there is a nice outdoor patio area with pic
