It's bar food... very average. But the biggest concern here is to watch your check... I've been overcharged on at least 2 occasions.

Portion sizes are very small for the cost. The kids burger was sooooooo small (see photo). Perhaps they should have advertised it as a slider. The place was clean and nice. The server was running around, but she was having a hard time keeping up because she was solo for the bar and all the tables.We've eaten there before, so perhaps this was an off day. But it was an expensive mistake for us today. ?

Chicken strips on the kids meal were good, but tiny. Angus burger was okay. Italian beef was flavorless. Waitress recommended a drink for me and it was really good. Service was good. Music wasn't so loud that it was difficult to converse.

Their food was AMAZING! But the price is CRAZY! Drinks were fabulous. When we went the music was way too loud especially for my kids…we couldn’t hear hear the kids over the music…I recommend lowering the music level and cheapen up the price a bit I’d love to make this my permanent spot but with kids I can only come once in awhile…Parking: Plenty of parking spots! Wide open lot!Kid-friendliness: Honestly it is a bar…music way too loud to really enjoy with the family.

First time in! Everything was delicious. Will definitely visit again to check out more items on the menu. We recommend the BLT sandwich, the Box Cat wrap and get the homemade potato chips.?

Good food. But I've come here during their listed business hours 5 times in the past 2 weeks and they haven't been open once.

Surprisingly good considering we are not from around there and we're taking a spontaneous road trip through Illinois. Found this little gem while fueling the car a bit up the highway.The food was generous portions- enough to fill us up to the brim. The burger was cooked as requested and not dried out. My boneless wings were juicy despite being fried. The sauce of choice for me was chipotle honey - when asking Morissa she said it was her favorite- without trying the others (I was also drawn to the bbq) I'd say it could easily become my favorite also. The fries and onion rings were both great sides selections, too.We were there on a Monday at noon and it was not very busy - few folks at the bar and couple tables - but it was also a small town. It was possible that our server was also the bartender but I did see few others serving the other two tables as well. Morissa was our server and I think she did a stand out job. She's got the friendly personality and attentiveness to the guests. Will I be back? If I'm that way again, sure.

Great food and friendly staff. Meticulously kept clean and welcoming. The wings were a hit with our group. Met the owner who was welcoming and appreciative.And as a bonus….the second Wednesday’s of summer months happen to have a car show in the parking lot.
