“ Food was well cooked and good. ONLY reason I am not giving 5 stars is because the fried pickles/banana peppers combo was a little too salty. The ceiling was leaking, but Jeremy Marsh was a wonderful server. It was a girls day out. Music wasn't too loud for us to enjoy our conversation. Overall, we would definitely return. ”

“ My first time coming here after passing it many times before. I thought it was just a bar and I'm not much of a drinker. The interior is nothing to write home about but it's clean which is a bonus in my book. The wait staff was very friendly and efficient but the real star of the show was the food. Their menu is different than most places and you could tell they take pride in the food preparation. Everything was good and presented well. I will definitely be coming here again. ”

“ Courteous, kind, and attentive staff at this awesome downtown restaurant! The food here is wonderful, and the venue is awesome. Great prices for great food. up for drinks, love music, and dining. The owner is very nice and clearly cares about customers and the place. Place is set up for lunch and dinner. Craft beer in cans or on tap. Do yourself and favor and check this place out! (They were also very kind when I accidentally flipped my tea all over the table...) ”

“ We finally got to eat here on Friday night & it was some of the best food & service we've ever had! We had the chicken nachos, tsunami wings & raw fries. The peppercorn ranch really went well with the raw fries. Our waiter, Jeremy, was so friendly & very knowledgeable about the menu. I definitely recommend this restaurant. ”

“ We stopped by for dinner on a whim and were pleasantly surprised! The food was really good. Everyone left satisfied. My daughter even tried the "fish & chips" which says a lot. The bacon cheese fries were top notch & I personally really like their house ranch! Our waitress was very nice & even brought my extra limes when she noticed I didn't use mine. The atmosphere was relaxed and farmhouse chic. We thought this was more of a nightlife scene, but dinner on a weekday was perfect! On the beer menu, you can order "the kitchen crew" a beer for $6 I had never seen that before! Positive vibes Will return! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ”

“ The food is terrific! Domestic beer is well priced. Staff is amazing! Prices are a bit higher than expected ($3 to $5 higher per menu item than comparable area restaurants). The experience and food was top notch. I will be back! ”
