Not what you would expect, it checks all the boxes for a clean, fun neighborhood bar

This was our 1st time eating here.

We were traveling through & wanted to stop for lunch.

We ordered:
Pretzel đŸ„š
Irish Nachos
Ruben Burger w/ fries🍟

It was ALL AMAZING

If you are local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping in or taking a plate to go.

We got ours to go, it was quick, fresh & hot!

We will stop again if we ever pass back through & are able to stop.

⭐ | Sadly Going Downhill
We went to Uncle Kranky’s last night, and it was such a disappointment. This used to be one of our favorite places—we’ve been coming here for years with our daughter, and it was always a wonderful experience. Unfortunately, that no longer seems to be the case.
This isn’t a one-time issue. On our recent visits, we’ve waited over an hour for our food. Last night was the final straw: once again, we waited over an hour, and when the food finally arrived, my $30 roast beef dinner was cold. That’s unacceptable. The waitress said she would “take care of it,” but the plate was just put in the microwave to reheat it. To make matters worse, my husband had to bring the plate back to her himself.
My daughter’s spaghetti barely had any sauce on it. No one came over to explain the long delays or check in with us. If you’re going to have customers waiting that long, communication matters. And honestly, if the wait is going to be that long, at least have comfortable chairs—sitting there for over an hour was painful.
I’ve worked in the restaurant industry before, so I understand things happen. But when the house is overwhelmed, in-house guests should come first. It might be time to pause or limit takeout until dine-in service is under control.
It’s really sad to see a place we’ve supported for years go downhill like this. Between the long waits, cold food, lack of communication, and the overall decline in experience, we can’t recommend Uncle Kranky’s anymore. This used to be a place we loved, which makes this even more disappointing.

Can't say enough about our first visit here. I left my purse there during the recent storm. They secured my purse that had close to $1,000, gift cards, credit cards, and two pairs of very expensive earrings. I got everything back. Thank you for a great time, good food, great cocktails, and outstanding service!

All the best aspects of a tiny hole in the wall kind of place. Looks like nothing special from the outside but the interior is clean and inviting. Good food, excellent service. PB&J wings are a must try and food and drink specials are always fantastic.

8 of us walked in. No acknowledge. Had to ask the lady behind the bar if we need to find a seat ourselves. Her response was the kitchen is closing and very limited menu was available. Sorry. We walked in at 7.00 pm. How is the kitchen closed?

Looks can be deceiving. Outside is questionable but inside is pretty nice and the food was great same as the service. Was definitely surprised. The onion rings are crazy good.

first time n was excited to try. didn’t seem too busy, maybe 6 at the bar, table of 6, 4, 2 n us (2 + child). a few mins into us being there the table of 2 decided to up and leave at just drinks.. took 54 minutes for us just to get our 15 wings.. probably about 20-30 more mins to get our food; broccoli alfredo, prime rib grinder & cheeseburger sliders. although the food was nice and hot, the burger was black on the bottom, broccoli alrfredo had a funky taste, but the prime rib was pretty decent. had about 4 flies surrounding us and landing on our food the whole time. got extremely sick after eating the food. waitresses were nice and seemingly trying their best, but there was only 2 of them n the bar seemed to have the majority of their attention. 2hrs later, bill came to 77$.. portions were big, but seems a little pricey for the atmosphere. kinda disappointed :/
