The staff is amazing, the food rules, drinks aren't inflated like the rest of the world and the patrons I've met are top shelf. love this place

Fantastic food and atmosphere! The clam chowder was delicious. We shared the beer battered fried cod and the beer battered fried walleye dinners. Both were perfect with just the right amount of crunch and delicious fish. We loved it and will be back :) the bartender's service was great to boot! He even came to the table to check on us. That was a really nice touch!

Wow - I have not been in this place before. They have Breakfast on the weekends and it was amazing!! Barbie was very personable and happy, I love when people are happy at work. Warning - don't decide what you want to eat until she tells you the specials, I got the chicken fried steak with gravy and it was sooooo good! I also got hashbrowns which look like someone freshly grated them and made them from scratch. It was a wonderful breakfast and I will be back.

This place reminds me of a good ol' WI supper club. They do seem a bit understaffed so we had to wait a bit longer for our food but it came out piping hot and was good! We'll be back.

Stephanie, Sara and Dave are the best. Super friendly and fun. I've only come a few times for karaoke and randomly popped In. Love the tacos and food. Good mixed drinks. Long as these 3 are there I'm having a good night. Thanks guys.

Always looking for new places and supporting local establishments. It's a small breakfast menu but the food did not disappoint. We had a rib eye and eggs, a filet and eggs, and my daughter had eggs and ham and ordered French toast on the side. All were delicious! Can't wait to go try their extensive lunch/dinner menu!

Great food for sure but, shouldn’t wait 25 min for a beer. When you put a empty on the rail that means a refill where I’ve been. Watched food sit at the kitchen window for 15 min. Sorry I’d have send it back if it was served cold to me….Bartenders nice but, because she’s slammed she’s tunnel visioned and was alone on taco Tuesday so unfortunately it was a bad experience…

The remodel is nice. Don't like the shared bathrooms. Women don't like that...nasty. Food was fresh but lacked seasoning. Be aware which doors work and don't work. 2 didn't and 2 did...one of them that was in kitchen. Owner needs to fix that. In an emergency that could be a serious issue. Bartender was very nice.
