Saddened to leave a 3 star review for what was one of our favorite local resturants to support ... I believe they are under new management and going through a transition period.

We waited over 30 minutes for my husband 'all you can eat beef ribs' that he requests every year on his birthday, special event etc. The price went up to $45 ... which would have been completely fine if they were the same mouth watering ribs as before ... unfortunately they were burnt and after being served 5 ribs he was told 'this is everything we have so thats it' and the reason was 'they were cooked on thursday and its Sunday so we ran out'

Waitress was very nice in offering to make it right. Brought out a burger instead, and it was so delish. Still love the local vibe, just dissapointed in tonight's experience. Will give it another shot after the new management has settled in.

New Owner is working very hard. Its no longer a quiet dive bar where only the aged locals eat. It is now to all ages where cowboy saloon meets neon atmosphere. Karaoke on weekends. Right on.

The Tri-Tip sandwich was dry but came with life-saving Au Jus. The waitresses was missing in action but the owner was making rounds and was friendly.

I had the all you can eat ribs. They were bigger than I thought so I ate obviously less than half a rack, but they were delicious! Fell off the bone so beautifully and is absolutely delicious with the BBQ sauce! I can be picky with ribs but these are amazing, an absolute gem here!

It ain't hard to mess up a burger, but these guys did, burnt my friends burger. Pulled pork sandwich was dry. Waitress gave me the wrong check. I won't be back anytime soon.

I love this place. Good thing I don't live nearby or I would be very fat. Can get very busy during prime time. Parking lot can fill up. A comprehensive menu of healthy and Hardy food served homestyle. Alcohol and draft beer available. Small but not too small. I wish there were more places like this. I'll go there every time I'm in town.

Tried Fat Ivor’s for the first time yesterday. There was a sign letting you know that you could seat yourself. When we walked inside, it was pretty busy but we were still able to find a table right away. We were greeted by our server and had our drink order taken relatively quickly. We ordered the pretzel bites as an appetizer and those were really tasty. The menu says that they come with a side of honey mustard, but we received some warm queso as a dip instead, which was preferred since my husband hates mustard lol. I ordered myself a grilled chicken wrap & my husband ordered some kind of bbq beef sandwich. The server let us know that the kitchen was backed up, so there would be a bit of a wait for the food, which was alright with us. When we got our food, I noticed that the chicken wrap I ordered was really hot. For some reason I thought that the wrap would be cold. My husband devoured his food but he did say that his sandwich was pretty bland unfortunately. I do have to agree and say that the chicken in my wrap was pretty bland as well. There was no kind of sauce in the wrap. It was just a tortilla, grilled chicken, some cheese and wilted lettuce. The tots that were given as a side were really good though. The servers were all very kind, which was nice!
