Please refrain from referring to this establishment as a dive bar. While it may not be an overly upscale venue, it offers a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The establishment features live music, delectable pizza, and exceptional wings. Additionally, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the bathrooms are exceptionally warm. Cozy in the winter and it’s got a nice outdoor patio bar in the summer. You can’t go wrong.

Hands down, the most disgusting looking food I've ever seen! I could have thrown up just looking at it. We ordered the Thai lettuce wraps and it looked so disgusting but we powered through and tasted it, it was mediocre at best. Next was a smash burger and a blu burger. We only at half of each because we were so hungry. The fries definitely had been in old oil from the fish fry, we couldn't eat them because of the nasty taste. Our waitress was a gem and worked very hard. Her service was impeccable, and we tipped her well because it wasn't her fault. They will NEVER see me again! Get a real chef in there for the love of good food everywhere!

I have to say this is one of my favorite places in the area. All of the staff is so friendly. If something came out wrong they've never had a problem fixing it. Thanks for always keeping up the great service and creating a fun atmosphere even when I'm having a rough day! ⭐

I ordered a gyro but it was extra greasy, I'm not sure how that happens if it is cooked on a vertical rotisserie. Something was off, would not recommend that to anyone.
The service was good, the lady took great care of us ensuring we had everything thing we needed.
The place smelled though. The bathroom smelled like a port-o-potty and when that made it's way into the dining area, it made it difficult to eat. Ventilation in the restrooms might help keep it contained.

I was there last friday evening with two coworkers, the food was actually pretty good, the manager was rude and short. I'm not sure if he was having a bad night or what the issue was.
Went there for the Friday night fish fry. The fish was pretty good. I did not care for the tartar sauce seems like it had a hint of Apple taste to it. If you get curly fries or onion rings they up charge you $2.50. Had a Long Island iced tea $12 for a 32 oz.. good value and tasted great!

Ordered take out since we were staying at the Great Wolf Lodge. Got a pizza and Chicken Combo. The tenders and fries were microwave quality and they forgot my sauce. Walking in to pickup the order was uncomfortable awkward due to the layout of the restaurant.
