“The Cabin at Judy Creek is one of those places that just *feels right* the moment you walk in. Whether you are heading out for a laid-back date night, catching up with friends, or just want a chill spot to grab a drink after work, this place nails it.

First off, the vibe is awesome. The building has a cozy, rustic look with tons of warm wood and soft lighting. Its big enough to feel lively but still has that tucked-away, hidden gem feel. If the weathers good, grab a table outside the patio is beautiful and perfect for a long evening of hanging out.

The food? Totally hits the spot. Their smoked meats and sandwiches are next-level, and the sides arent just filler everything is fresh and full of flavor. The appetizers are great for sharing (bacon-fat popcorn is a must-try), and the entrees come in generous portions thatll actually fill you up.

Drinks are another win. They keep a solid craft beer list and pour some excellent cocktails. The bartenders know their stuff and are happy to help you find something new.

And the staff ties it all together friendly, quick, and genuinely happy to have you there.

Bottom line: great food, great drinks, great people. Five stars, no question The Cabin is the kind of place youll keep coming back to.“

“Been here several times it either packed and exciting or its pretty empty.. but either way nice place to go have a few and chill out.“

“OMG, this place is a breath of fresh air. With all of the hole in the wall bars in the area with crap service and a horrible selection behind the bar, this place breaks the mold.
Michelle was an amazing barkeep, the atmosphere was lively amd the pool and dart boards kept the evening alive. For the first time in along time, last call was a dreaded call. I am surprised that a local bar actually had me wanting to stay later. Of you aren't from around here, let this place impress you. If you are from around here, give the Barrel another try. This place is definitely a must visit.“

“chef Travis makes my wife and the bests tacos we've ever had hands down. swing in and enjoy . Great fella to chat with and even better chef!!!“

“We had lunch today at The Refinery Bar & Grill and thoroughly enjoyed our meal, as well as the atmosphere. The waitress was pleasant and the food came out promptly. It was our first visit because we don’t live in the area, but we’ll spread the word and visit again when we return to the area to see family. ?“

“Always some very delicious food! The soups are amazing as well!“

“amazing! what a great addition to the neighborhood“

“Had a large party with short notice today and they accommodated us with no issues. Josie our waitress was one of the best servers we have had in a long time.“

“always a friendly face behind the bar and good food“

“If you like local dive bars and pizza this is the place to go. Their pizza is the bomb ? The staff is friendly and most of the regulars are too. Lol. They also have an AMI jukebox, an ATM machine, several TV screens to watch sports games, and video gambling machines. They have a back patio with seating for smokers and they usually have heat out back when they remember to refill the propane tanks. It’s usually just one bartender waiting on everyone and making the pizzas in their pizza oven. Drink a cold one and enjoy the atmosphere while you wait. ??“

“This is a perfect good ol'tavern. Exactly what I like if I go to have a drink. Bartender s are great, atmosphere is fun and friendly, it's a cheers for the motorcycle club and friends. Always a good time. Sam and Woody are not serving you it Missy, Michelle, or as they call Cheyenne " the new girl" you can't go wrong with any of the three. And if you are lucky enough to run into Elliot or some other regular faces, you have a great day ahead!“

“The atmosphere was accommodating to each individual preference...one side quiet and open with slot machines, while the other side was poppin'. They offered karaoke and the customers seemed to be enjoying themselves quite well. The bartender Scott was on point and very polite. All in all good place to go to with friends or a significant other!“

“I've stopped in here a few times since I live just down the road from it. The times I've gone in, it wasn't too busy, but they tell me they have a good time on a Saturday night. It's really not your best bet if you want food. They serve your basic frozen pizzas and the like, but nothing remarkable. Sammi's Subs, next door, is another story though. EXCELLENT sandwiches (but they aren't open late). Like another reviewer said, I think Norb's is a great dive-bar with some pool tables and darts. Probably the most fun if you bring a friend or two, and preferably ones who like to play pool or darts. I believe they were cash only at the bar, and they didn't really have a lot of drink specials when I went. So bring cash.“
