“If you haven’t been to Homeport yet, you’re missing out! I stopped in on a Sunday and was blown away by their quesadilla—it was packed with seasoned chicken, black olives, green pepper, onion, jalapeño, and just the right amount of cheese. At $12, it’s a great deal, and even better, they offer $2 off every appetizer on Sundays!

The vibe was relaxed and welcoming, filled with people just enjoying their Sunday. The bartender was incredibly sweet and attentive—great service all around.

Highly recommend giving this place a try. You won’t be disappointed!“

It was nice to have a place to shoot a few games of pool that's not too loud and obnoxious. We had a problem with a couple of the tables but the bar staff was very accommodating. The drinks were good. I would call this a friendly atmosphere. They have regular pool leagues, both men and women. They have 10 or 11 tables so you shouldn't have trouble finding a spot unless it's a league night.“

“Great spot down by the Cedar River. I am a big fan of Czech Pilsners and insisted we make time for a lunch and a beer there. What a great time; chatted it up with the locals and the bartender on an early Friday afternoon. I ordered the goulash and dumplings and my darling ordered a pork tenderloin. Both were great but hers was exceptional. Solid selection of Czech beers, Czechvar being my favorite. Reasonable tab for food and drinks and a nice friendly visit with locals to boot in an authentic old-school tavern. If you visit be sure to have them point out how high the flood waters got in the 2008 downpours.“
