If you are in the mood for something with a bit of a kick I would suggest the angry curds or the hot headed Irishman. Both have me grabbing for my drink. The wings are always cooked well. The fries are perfection. And the fish fry is exactly as it should be. The staff has always been super friendly and very professional. The music can get loud when they have someone playing live, but that happens at any restaurant.

Wow! I have passed this place so many times and never stopped. Today, my husband and I decided to have dinner for our anniversary. We loved it. Our server was Stephani, and she had all the answers. We had a pickled lemonaid, deep-fried elote, lobster poutine. For dessert, we had the chocolate brownie cheesecake with blackberry sauce. MYLANTA WAS THAT AAAAAMAZING!!!!

Went with the family on a Friday night. The wait to be seated took about 30 minutes and was well worth it. We got a couple beers from the bar and waited by the fire pit outside. Dinner and service were great. Strongly would recommend any burger from the menu. My wife had the hope headed Irishmen which was absolutely delicious. A nice little sweet flare to it. I had the Chipotle Lucy burger. It was rich, saucy, and yummy!

We always enjoy dining here. There is something for everyone in our large family of seven, even our picky eater. It's a spacious facility and can accommodate large groups. They even have bingo night for a bit of fun while you enjoy your meal.

It’s a great local favorite! We decided to have a quick lunch date with my wife and it was great. Service was incredibly fast and the food was great. I highly recommend the shrimp as the aioli was insanely good. We will definitely be back. Beau Geer Owner - Xtreme Pest Solutions

I'll be real here. I came here to get the pickles. You can get a 16 Oz container of Tina's pickles for 5.50 and they are perfect. I had them on a previous visit and stopped in just for those.
