We made reservations to meet with our dear friends and family. Service was within reason. All was going well and we were having a great time and having conversation upon finishing our meal.. We received our ticket and had just paid. At this time a hostess came up to our table and remarked “This table is reserved and the people are waiting for it.” It was done in a very rude way and left us feeling like we were no longer welcome. We have NEVER been asked to leave an establishment in such a rude and disrespectful way! This has been a halfway meeting spot for us and unfortunately we do not feel welcome.

Many thanks to Sandy, Tara, and Leslie for great service.

Chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn..with olland butta... plus, an individual pizza... the "whole hog"!

As i was leaving, the Fire and Rescue unit pulled up with their courtesy lights flashing. I thought perhaps my personal physician had sent a car for me After that last set of test results... ... lol

..but..no. they were just picking up a "to go " order. I always know the food is gonna be awesome when the first responders are eating there!

We took friends for a 40 minute drive because we love Cernos. Fried tenderloin, Rueben, filly steak sandwich all great. I had the chili. It was the only disappointment. Runny - nit at all "Hearty". Good service and tremendous atmosphere

This was our first experience and it won’t be our last! The fish and chips was amongst the best we’ve had… a light battered fish, above-average fries, and good coleslaw. The stuffed pepper soup was outstanding with substantial meat and veggie stock in a spicy broth.

Nice bar with a great staff. Kara (sp?) was an awesome bartender.

The catfish was amazing.

The ribeye was ok, but it came with A1 sauce slathered all over it, which was unfortunate. I ordered it with the “Jack Daniels Seasoning” which I expected to be a dry rub (“seasoning”) but it may have been this sauce? Either way, they should make it clear your steak is coming with a sauce, and not a seasoning.

The fried potato salad was really good.

Great service. Food was really good as well. Had the Monday special, Italian Beef Sandwich, with hot peppers and Tater Tots. And a Guinness or two. Good stuff.

We stopped in here last night after phat boys was closing up for the night because I’ve heard good things about this place. But I will never go back there again after last night. We both got the “catfish” dinners because it was the special last night. That fish was disgusting. I’ve never had slimy fried catfish in my life and we’re avid fishers. This fish was just completely gross and should have never been served. We ended up taking 2 bites hoping 1 fillet would be better than the other but it was just worse. We ended up passing over $55 foot food we didn’t even eat. (Should really have asked for a comp because it was terrible) When we had told the tender the food was not good she seemed to not be shocked by it And on the ride home my boyfriend ended up stuck throwing the food right back up. Won’t be back

Everything was great. But the cost was a little much. We had one beer, an iced tea, tenderloin sandwich, slaw and a chicken sandwich with slaw and it was 50.00 without tip!
