★★★★★ 5.0 Jennifer Erin · Feb 2026

🍔 Got the burger of the month & the oversized cheese curd toppings did not disappoint. Love that they had mallow sauce for the sweet potato fries. 🍹 Didn’t really care for their mules. 👩🏻‍💼 waitress (Leia/Leah) had an adorable personality and even though we were playing cards, she consistently checked in on us. 🏈 Went during Super Bowl Sunday, so no band was playing. Pretty quiet/chill.

We came here on a Friday night with friends - it was a lot smaller inside than we were expecting, but I think that had to due with the back room being closed for a private party and a band setting up in the front room. Both the drink and food menu had a ton of options to choose from - all of the portions were large and the meals came out quickly. The only downsize was due to the size of the bar, having a band in there makes it almost impossible to even hear the people your sitting at the same table with, at this was at 6:45p - we saw several groups trying to move away or leaving simply due to that (this may have just been the band).

First time here, for early lunch with four couples. Over all an excellent lunch . Excellent server, good clean and very nice atmosphere. The food was good, with one exception! Four of us had the French onion soup and each agreed that the saltiness was extremely HIGH! I am a "salt guy", but today's soup was way beyond my level. I will go back again, and will try it again, hoping it was just a mistake. Otherwise, was very good and prices were good also.

10/ 10 recommend. Me and my boyfriend are foodies and love trying new spots. This was top notch. Ordered the nachos and Nashville hot sandwich, delicious!! Plus the drinks were perfect. Shoutout to Sarah, so sweet with great energy! Will be back! Thanks again:)

Had lunch with a friend from work. She had shrimp tacos and French onion soup. I had the prime rib French dip and chicken noodle soup. My friend really liked her food and the soup, and I thought the sandwich, fries, and soup were delicious. Everything was hot and fresh. My sandwich wasn't made right the first time, but they promptly replaced it with the one I ordered. I will definitely be back to try their other food! Wish I would have gotten a picture.
