Handlebar is a local bar known for its filling portions of food and friendly, charming atmosphere. The place is spacious with great drinks, and the staff work hard to keep drinks full and ensure customers are well taken care of. It is famous for their pork loin sandwich, which is huge and delicious. The food is scratch made and not fast, but still pretty good. Diners can enjoy meals such as shrimp and breaded tenderloin, both with generous portions. The restaurant also offers vegetarian options, including a veggie burger, and has a salad bar with good coleslaw and ranch or thousand island dressings. The prime rib is tender and cooked medium rare, served with very good au jus and creamy horseradish. Broasted potatoes and potato wedges with house-made sour cream sauce are popular, though some do not favor tiny packages of sour cream or margarine. The green pepper and mushroom topping on baked potatoes is enjoyed by many, and steamed broccoli with seasoning is also offered. The restaurant's atmosphere is reminiscent of a small town bar, with a mix of high-quality food and reasonable prices. Service is friendly but can be a little interesting at times, with some servers zigzagging between tables. Payment is cash only, so visitors should be prepared. Overall, the food is delicious, served in large portions, and the experience is worth the drive for many customers.
