Was in for apps the other day and tried their homemade mozzarella sticks. What a wonderful take on a classic. They are a huge portion, so sharing is easy.

Very nice small town bar/restaurant. All of the food that we've tried has been at least good, the service is very friendly, and the ambience is nice

We were there on a Saturday night and Julia was a great server. She stopped by the table often and served with a smile. Comfortable environment allowed us to enjoy music and visit with friends at the same time.

I remember thumbs up from 20 years ago. He used to go there with my Uncle Larry all the time. I heard that it went down into the ground after I left the area. I also heard that he did a full renovation on it had nothing left but the shell. And I tell you what that this place is awesome. This is the first time I've been back in there since I've come back to the state. That bar looks fantastic. Love the urinals that are in the men's bathroom. The staff is friendly. The food was good. They even had like three or four different types of french fries you can order. Personally, I think it's a little many, but it is great to have that kind of a variety to choose from. I commend them on that.
