Stopped in on our way home from the St Louis airport. So glad this was the place we chose! The food was amazing, atmosphere was perfect, the service was the best and it was CLEAN! I hate that we live 1:30 away because we would come here all the time. They even had a band for NY Day
Couldn’t have been any better!

Initial reaction: We came in 15 minutes before the kitchen closed and waited over 5 minutes to get a menu. A large party also came in right before us. When our waitress came to us (she did not have the large table) she told us the kitchen closed in 5 minutes and gave us the menu. We had to rush to make choices quickly because of it although the large table was still ordering after us (after closing time).
Food: Definitely would not order the grilled poppers, they were the saddest little appetizer I’ve ever seen in a restaurant. The fried cheese curds were good, nice bite sizes that were hot. I ordered the chicken fried chicken special and substituted a salad for the green beans (they had pork in them). The mashed potatoes were cold, only thr gravy on top had any heat (but no flavor). The chicken was hot and nicely breaded but again, the gravy on top had zero flavor. The side salad with ranch was crisp. Also ordered a Philly cheesesteak and the cheese slices thrown on top were not melted at all which let us know the sandwich overall was cold. The curly fries were rushed and not cooked all the way.
The server was attentive and checked on us twice. We didn’t ask for any remakes due to the time and to respect the kitchen staff however this will likely not be on our list in the near future.

I really like this place. Prices are reasonable. Staff is very accommodating. Lexi was particularly fun and helpful. The good: Price. Food quality is decent. The tacos are okay. They have sour cream available etc. It's not traditional but they're better than taco bell. The pizza isn't bad either. Came out a little burnt on the edges and soggy in the center but not terrible. They are very generous with the toppings also. They also have something called John's sauce I'm about to try right now... oh... The bad: John's sauce. Why? WHY?! Who goes out of their way to make that to put on pizza? How dare you? The pizza toppings aren't the highest quality, but they are okay. The food is decent but they aren't in danger of getting a Michelin Star any time soon. Manage your expectations, but the price is more than appropriate for the quality of the food, and it won't break the bank. The ugly: the sound. When I say they would probably get an OSHA violation if they did a study here, I'm not joking. I don't like putting things in this section, but this one cannot be ignored. For the sake of the employees working here everyday, the owner needs to do something more than a couple small sound absorbing panels poorly placed in the room. Some hack screwed plywood to the ceiling instead of using drywall and thought the exposed brick would look nice. You're eating in a sound chamber. I bet karaoke would sound great with the acoustics, but besides live music, this is a lawsuit waiting to happen once the wait staff goes deff. I recommend this place, but you may want to sit outside if the place is full. Save what hearing you have left.

Great food, great iced tea & great service, prices very reasonable!
My brother & I had the meatloaf dinner with real mashed potatoes, brown gravy, green beans with bacon, mom had the bourbon chicken sandwich with sliced tomatoes & fried green beans, 2 of us had unsweet tea & 1 had sweet tea, the tea is fresh brewed. We'll definitely be back. Dinner options run $9-$12.
Vegetarian options: Noticed some of the appetizers were labeled vegetarian.
Dietary restrictions: I can't eat pork & there was pork in the green beans that came with my meatloaf dinner, they had no problem just putting them in a side dish & letting my family eat them, also was told for a $2 fee I could upgrade to the fried green beans anytime I wanted.
Parking: Plenty of places to park both in a lot & on the street.
Kid-friendliness: They have a kid friendly menu.
Wheelchair accessibility: There are multiple wheelchair accessible entrances.

We were traveling and googled places to eat. The pic of the onion rings got me! Read the reviews. Who ever gave them a 1 star review, it had to be because of them.. The staff was amazing and working their tails off. Full house. Received our food fast and hot. Everything tasted amazing! Ordered the Onion Rings, Cheese Curds, and Horseshoe. Only took a pic of the onion rings because they came out as our app. When they brought out our meal, it looked so good we just started eating and forgot the pic. We will definitely make the drive to come back to this place!!!
