“Yes. Yes. Yes. Dive Bar with friendly faces and strong drinks. A bar that is dimly lit but clean. If you like a safe dive bar - this is your place. Hard but friendly people. Cheap drinks, strong drinks. Plenty of seating, poker machines, and a great juke box. Have a drink by yourself, bring your friends, or make friends - enjoy a simple place - nothing fancy here, come as you are. Great place to stop in and have a cold one. Parking is on the street or a parking lot next door.“

If you haven't been, you are definitely missing out. Go ring in the New Year with Bongo Pablo & Miss Z Big Shots (New Year's Eve) tonight and then make it your home bar in 2023!“

“Decide to walk downtown in West Frankfort Illinois..To a local tavern for lunch
What I like about the establishment is in the middle of the restaurant is the bar..so waitress/ bartender can go back and forth freely

There is a cute duck claw game and several different adult lottery games There are TVs on both sides. there are two ways to come into the building . Very roomy and very spacious building

The attitude of the waiter was very friendly and very nice
And surprised it was not crowded because it was late afternoon Saturday

As far as the food only reason I gave it a 4 instead of five
Menu selections were limited @ cheese for burgers
Went with cheeseburger baskets the cheeseburger patty was a Great size the Patty very filling
Another great touch how they plated up the cheeseburger baskets
The cheeseburger patties which were very tasty and very good size came on a nicely toasted buttered roll
on the side there was lettuce and tomatoes and onions and pickles
I was very impressed at how they did this because nowadays you don't see a lot of places taking the time to make a plate look nice..
Then you have the french fries hot and crispy and plenty of them in the baskets and came with your choice of soda
Baskets were 12.00$ each very reasonable price for the amount of food that we received

From a friendly atmosphere to a friendly waiter
Hats off to the cook for good food all in all a great place

Now when I had last put my review up
I had given it a solid review
That recently has changed

In regards to the waitress with long blonde hair a female
who was very slow did not offer menus do not offer a drink did not check on one side of the restaurant by the time she got to ask him if he wanted anything it was about 20 minutes later and there was only one person in front of us who ordered chicken wings she is very rude and she was very rude

And as far as the owner of the establishment I did contact them they stated they would get back to me they got back to me once with no resolve to the issue

So I have now lowered the Stars

Due to a slow waitress
And an owner who does not take care of the issues“

“Loved this place..Food was amazing..Service was awesome..We went at almost 8 p.m at night when they were almost done serving food but they still gave the best service. We were down in Sesser camping for the weekend so knew we had to go grab a bit to eat the first night since we didn't get food that first night since we were late getting in.“
