After a 10 hour drive we ambled into this place not knowing what to expect. Very good .... well priced menu. They also featured a nightly special choice.. we each had it along with a wine / beer. Out the door for $30 !! We were shocked!

it's okay on big race days !!! but drinks are way overpriced and betting on the horses can make for one big tab...

Ordered the hamburger done medium. Came rare. I mean bloody. Could eat it. They didn’t offer to replace it.The place is pretty basic and definitely lower class. Don’t bother.

Great sports bar for dinner and drinks! They have all sorts of events every week including live music, Karaoke and line dancing! They have a couple billiard tables, arcade games and horse race betting booths as well! Great place to pop by if you're in town!

We were here for the first time and we enjoyed the live music and dance. We had dinner at another restaurant and dropped by to see what's inside. We had our wine but didn't get to order food as we were still full.What a pleasant experience. Live music and dancing was fun. Guests are mostly seniors who live around the area. The place is big, good enough for larger groups. Parking lot is quiet and not as busy as the neighboring businesses.
