★★★★☆ 4.0 Joe Hintz · Mar 2026

Food was good burgers seemed to be charbroiled with good flavor. Appetizer plate mushrooms, cheese curds and Mac and cheese bites were good bites a little to crispy for me and knowing my burger had them to I asked for them to not be as crispy and they delivered.Was very clean and wait staff was very good.Will definitely be eating there again!!!!

I brought my sister here for her 21st birthday and the experience was less than pleasant. We came in around lunchtime on a Friday and there was only a couple other tables in use. We sat down and waited quite a while to finally get menus. When my sister went to order a cocktail and showed them her ID they said they don't accept vertical IDs and wouldn't serve her even though she just turned 21 and hasn't had any time to get a new one. Then it took an ungodly amount of time to get our nachos and wings for there being noone else in the building waiting for their food. By the time we finally got our food it was not super warm and the brisket on the nachos had hardly any flavor. By the time we finished there was noone else in the building and we sat there for probably 10 minutes listening to ou

The place was busy on arrival. Even with it being busy, the server was quick to get us the menu and drink order. Came back and took our food order, outstanding service. Both burgers we ordered cooked right and tasted good. Also ordered, Boneless wings, those were bigger than most places. Ordered mild and peach fire for sauces. Both were really flavorful. We enjoyed the evening, service, and food.

I am writing to share a very disappointing experience my family and I had during our recent visit to your restaurant. Our party consisted of four adults and two toddlers. From the start, service was extremely slow. The wait for a third beer refill was so long that I eventually had to walk to the bar to request it myself. It then took approximately 20 minutes for our food order to be taken, followed by nearly an hour before the food arrived. When the meals finally came out, most of the food was only warm and nearly cold. Two of the side dishes from different plates were burned. More concerning, I found a hair in my toddler’s quesadilla and four feathers in a wing from another plate. This is completely unacceptable, especially when serving children. Our waitress was not rude, but her atti

So happy we found this spot on a Monday night! Service was prompt, the food was absolutely delicious (can’t recommend the ribeye sandwich enough), and we had a great time at dinner. Would recommend to anyone passing through! Huge menu with enough variety to satisfy just about anyone with some sort of sandwich!
