Didn't expect it to be a bar atmosphere. Thought is was going to be a more traditional restaurant but all good. Not a lot of tables. Friends liked the pork tenderloin sandwich which is why we went there.
I had the Grinder sandwich and it was not good. Too much bread and not much meat and nothing exciting. What was great was the corn and the onion rings and cheese curds. Also the pizza rocked. They have free small bites of pizza for happy hour from 4 pm to 6 pm Monday...

We were planting trees near the establishment, and the owner kindly came out offering us soda, fries, and cheese curds. The fries were perfectly seasoned, and the cheese curds were absolutely fantastic—I’d come back just for those! The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. It's a cozy little spot that’s worth checking out.

We’ve been meaning to check this place out for a while, and I finally made it one of my birthday wishes—and I’m glad we did.
We grabbed seats at the bar (because of course we did), and were lucky to be served by the owner’s daughter, who was also training a new hire. Even after a late night, she didn’t miss a beat—friendly, efficient, and totally on top of things. Absolute rock star.
