This is an informative review as our group decided to leave before ordering food. Our group of 20 people arrived at 3p and stood around waiting for someone to take our order. Fifteen minutes went by, and both staffers walked around serving others, while avoiding talking to us or even making eye contact. Upon asking for service, one staffer finally said that, if we did decide to order, it would take a very long time as she was the only one preparing food.
The location is rustic, and seemed like a fun place, as long as you have a small group. The staff should be more clear on whether they are able to serve someone or are too busy at the moment.

A road house in the middle of the highway with little else around. As such the atmosphere is rustic. The place is very clean and well set up for entertaining. The food is short order burgers and fries. I had the fried bologna sandwich and loved it. I had a side order of fried okra. Also delicious. Major beer brands in bottles, no taps. Liquors available, too. Service was remarkably excellent.

Nice hole-in-the-wall food typical bar food. A bunch of us came in at one time and kind of swamped the staff, but she hung in there and we were happy.

You know, for a hole in the wall joint, it was really cool. We were hiking on the R2R and decided to stop for a well needed meal. The bartender was very friendly and quick with the service. Uniquely, there were grafettied dollar bills stapled to the ceiling. Locals were friendly and struck up conversation as well. The food was delicious, and the spirits were plenty. I will definitely stop again when hiking in that area.
If you like a rural dive bar vibe, this is a perfect place for you. The food looked good, but they were out of the special the day we visited so we didn't end up trying any food. Drinks available are pretty basic, but if you are just looking for a cold beer or a jack and coke, they have you covered. The bartender was friendly and attentive. We would stop by again.

Stopped in with my husband and teens after a day of hiking. The kitchen was open until 10pm and under 21 could be there while the kitchen was open. It was a Thursday night and it was very empty aside from hikers we met on the trails and a couple of locals. Everyone is friendly, food is VERY reasonable and good.It is CASH ONLY but they have an ATM. Bill was $70 for 2 orders of cheese sticks, 2 double cheeseburgers, chicken tenders and fries, 10 wings, fries, 5 waters, a pop, 2 mixed drinks and a beer.
Kid-friendliness: Welcome when the kitchen is open
Wheelchair accessibility: The bar itself is down one step but otherwise the rest of the building is flat entry level
