The Chicken Flaming Goat was amazing. If you like a good spicy sandwich, I would highly recommend. And Cassie at the bar was wonderful. Highly recommend.

Gabby goat experience is always the best. Rich and Corey make you feel like you’re at home. Excellent NA selection if you’re interested in something besides regular beer! My favorite hometown spot.

We had the drunken pig, steak bites and house salad. Everything was phenomenal. The steak was moist, juicy and seasoned well.Dietary restrictions: They accommodated my procedure dietary needs.

Watch your credit/debit card transactions at this place. They stole $80 from me by putting through a second transaction. Hopefully my bank can reverse it.

We love the F'n Good Steak Bites & Fish Tacos. So frigging good! ??Service is great. ? Only complaint might be the lighting is a little too low making it difficult to read the menu. ? The food is excellent everytime! Drive from Sullivan just to eat there!.Parking: If you get there early you can get a front row parking spot.

First time. Recommended by a local and it was great. Huge menu. Couldn't decide. Wife had the steak bites and they were so tender and tasty. I had to wings but only ate a few because we filled up on the nachos. Will be back because we gotta try more stuff. Bar is right there in the middle of the dining, so everything was easily accessible and made for a fun atmosphere but families are also comfortable.Parking: Most of parking is around back where there's also an entrance to the restaurant

An average pub experience. The biggest issue is their online menu does not list the same ingredients as the menu in the restaurant. For example the Mac and cheese bites do not indicate bacon is in them online.I've shared some photos of our food, the nachos are essentially a wedge of lettuce piled on top of some soggy chips covered in sauce. If you look closely you can clearly see it was literally a chunk of a head of lettuce placed and spread on top.I'm not here to tear this place apart, but for its popularity and cost we did have much higher expectations. We wouldn't choose to come back to this place for food, but for drinks with friends it is without question we'd be back. It just wouldn't be the food as the primary reason.The women's bathroom was horrifying. Even more shocking was that after bringing the bathroom issues to the attention of staff was that nothing was done to fix the issues which only got worse. Broken toilet is one thing, but having such a disgusting situation not get taken care of for your guests is unacceptable. No one wants to have to clean up that kind of thing, but the longer it stays that way the more guests are subjected to a bad experience.Final thing to say is that the guy in glasses on his head that was running around and calling out guest names when a table was ready spoke very rudely to multiple employees multiple times. You may have to address issues with staff, but talking down to them isn't the answer.

We were in town for two nights for the eclipse. My wife had the Flaming Goat burger and I had the Smoked Brisket Melt. Both were incredible. My wife said it's the best burger she's ever had, and she wants to come back tomorrow! This is from a woman who doesn't even really like burgers, and would never eat at the same restaurant with less than a month between visits! You guys out there know what I'm taking about. No offense dear. Also the bartender and wait staff were very nice and attentive, and prices were very reasonable. We would definitely come back here. In fact, we will be.
