It was super quiet while we were there, but you can tell this place can get exciting! The burgers were great, I really enjoyed mine with the hot dog sauce on my burger with an egg! Super unique! We’ll definitely stop again when we are in the area.

This was our first time here. We were so happy with the waitress. She was prompt, very respectful of making sure we knew what we were ordering. Very courteous. The atmosphere was very country. If ya wanted to play some pool, there's enough tables to go around. The flat wings were done way better than the ones we get around our hometown. They were crispy, with no slimmy skin. The flavor of the butter and garlic was mouth watering. The other flavor we tried was the,I wanna say, sweet and spicy. It had just the right amount of heat. Not over bearing but enough to eat all dozen. We will definitely be stopping again on our way through. She was even nice enough to let us know that there were 2 dozen left because we wanted some to bring back home. That was great service!

We were there about 6 pm and it was pretty empty. We did sit for a while before acknowledgement. The waiter was good, little slow but he may have been the only one not sure. We got the pub fries which I don't see on their online menu but it has been a month or two since we were there! I got the Italian chicken sandwich it was great! My husband got a burger, I can't remember what kind but he said he really liked it! In my opinion it is a nice pub with a separate dining area! Best of both worlds! I will be going back!

Wings were top tier. Great prices, good Friday night bar environment.

Only negative was they were clearly overwhelmed and it took over an hour to get our food. Waitress didn't stop by to update our table on the timing, refill drinks, etc. once.

Staff was friendly. Food was above average for sure. I ordered the fried pickles. 4 spears for $5.50…which seems expensive to me. Pickles were good, lightly breaded. Ordered The Godfather for my entree, it was good. Might as well get the 14” for only $3 more.

The reason I give this place 3 stars instead of 4 is there is no lock on the bathroom. It’s a one person men’s and women’s room, each have their own but no privacy whatsoever. You can’t lock the door. I tried, I looked but maybe I’m missing something. If you need to take a #2, someone can easily just walk in and they wouldn’t know. If you aren’t going to have a way to lock the door, at least put a sign on the door that’s says “Please knock”. Can’t imagine how embarrassing it would be for both people to walk in on that.

A local landmark for over 50 years! It's an institution, Steppenwolf AND Foghat have performed here and they continue to host live music every weekend. Woman-owned with a fantastic staff, support this local gem - you won't regret it!

Great place for burgers. We were there in off hours so service was a little slow and place was mostly empty.

Looks like a great place to pack o. A Friday night and have beers with some friends.

A sort of cute dive-y bar, in the hip way, with several pool tables and a shuffle board for entertainment. Overall, the food was pretty standard to slightly above average bar food. The fries were definitely good and crispy!

A few of complaints though.
1. They were out of quite a few things on the menu that we were excited about (wings, ribs, crab legs). But, it’s covid-so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt that this was a distributor issue.
2. The menu online, which you are directed to when you sit down, do not reflect the prices charged. My steak dinner was $1 more, and we saw a $1 up charge for fries with the sandwich that surprised us.
3. There is a $2 credit card fee. WOW, just WOW. I’ve never seen anything like that. And, they use Square, which is a very affordable credit card processing company as compared to traditional credit card processors, where you typically see up charges of $.50 or around that for credit transactions under a certain amount.

In summary, while we only paid $4 more than we expected, which isn’t much I suppose, it was a surprise and it left us in a sour state upon departure. I’m not sure we would return in the near future. I really wanted to be excited about this place as it said it was a “woman led” business on google, and I want to support my fellow women, but please address the issues outlined above. Thank you.
