“My sons brought me here to celebrate Mothers Day. Everyone really enjoyed their food. We shared a nacho, very good. Our table had chicken wings, grilled cheese panini, burgers, and chicken fingers. Many different specialty drinks and beer. Service was great. Sports atmosphere, lots of tvs.“

“The food has no reason being this good in as small of a town as it is (I can say this, I grew up in the town over). The menu is kept fresh with seasonal updates and everything is made fresh in restaurant including the buns for the burger.

The only drawback was it is a bit loud when it’s busy due to the high ceilings and relatively small dining area. Everything else was ‘Chef’s kiss’.“

“Superior service, food & drinks; love that they serve Slagel meats! Our lunch was quite tasty, with large enough portions to bring home half for a meal, tomorrow.“

“We went for the all you can eat crab legs and they were fabulous! The services were so great, friendly and nice! We will differently be coming back! HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“This place is the tops. They hit every aspect of dining with precision and vigour. They have a unique and dynamic menu, a quality beer selection and solid cocktail options. Their prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality, and their service is top tier. I've been here on several occasions over the years and every experience has been meaningful. The most recent was a slow friday morning with a large family group and it was impeccable. Lots of needs and specific menu desires and everything was handled so well by our server Christian. From menu and drink recommendations to attentiveness, he provided exactly what you want from a dining experience. I've never had a bad time here, ive come for dinner, drink and events and regardless of the context, they always exceed expectations.“

Jamie our server was excellent and we appreciate the help the manager Amy provided as we celebrated a NINETY-SEVENTH birthday! 🎂🎉 The seafood risotto was yummy and the peach butter cake was delicious. Coopers Hawk is so reliable and we will be back- well done. 👍“

“Omg I went for the first time to this restaurant yesterday and absolutely loved it. They serve a good portion and I asked for extra tomato and they sure gave me a lot of extra tomato in my hotdog. Most places don’t give a lot of extras when you ask for it. And the best part of going there was their soup. The soup was absolutely delicious. I will be definitely going back here a lot more. The people there were very, very nice. I wish I would have gotten the cashier’s name. She was super nice and attentive. I think I’m going to go back again today. See what kind of soup they have today and try their beef sandwich. I’m sooo glad I stopped there.“

“We ordered pulled pork and Mac and cheese for our daughter’s open house. Everyone RAVED about the food! We are almost 40 minutes away from the location and they will have new customers from the Marseilles area. Great staff, absolutely delicious food! 10 out of 10 !“

“The jerked chicken pasta was amazing. Had there peach Mai Tai. I wish they had better straws. I know it's an odd thing to put but literally just trying to adjust my straw, the ice broke it. I got another one, I apparently pinched too hard??? it broke again. great food, trash straws“

“awesome concept but you really need to fix the broken games. going from one broken game to another doesnt really encourage people to come back“

“Incredible brunch spot - Everything is delicious from the bonuts (fantastic blueberry spready) to the breakfast sandwich and omelets. Their in house hot sauce is 10/10 dynamite. If you're in the area and looking for a tasty brunch, this must be the place! Only rec I would make is stop showing church services on the TVs“

“Went for a Flaw concert. It was small and intimate but an absolutely great time. I got a drum stick from the drummer and the whole band signed it. The place itself is amazing. They have bowling, bags, darts, pinball, you name it they have it. Also very reasonable priced drinks and food. Great place to check out.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have handicapped spots right by the door.“
