I love this place. Can't remember exactly what they're called, pizza puffs?, but they were great for an afternoon lunch. I've had many different menu items here. For the beer selection and the food, it's definitely worth your time if you're driving thru. I say that because people that live here already know it rocks.
“Shoe” was our server and he recommended great options, and was on top of the service for our table. Love this place!!!
The flights were a great way to try many of the 170+ selections.

I know kazillion isn't a real word, but El Bait Shop has a kazillion beers on tap. Also, ciders and mead and n/a options. Joe is obviously an incredibly awesome bartender!!! Seriously, he was so welcoming, friendly, and fun to talk to. I would definitely recommend the wings, but everything from High Life Lounge is awesome.
