Quaint little place in a great location right on the river, so a great view from the deck or a table at the window. Food was good, bigger portions, great service (it was not a busy time, ~1:30, when we were there), but the bathroom was not clean!

Totally funfunfun! Just a people watching heaven. Good food and quick service. If you have bad hips or knees, pass on the inside toilets. You will not be able to get off. They have a handicapped portopotty that was usable.

Hard no for us. Pork tenderloin was flat as a board with zero flavor or meat. Buffalo chicken wrap was not good either. It was tough chicken and hot sauce in a wrap. It looked appealing but it wasn’t at all. There wasn’t even cheese! We aren’t picky eater at all but this was so disappointing. We looked at pictures online and thought it would be good. Bartenders were nice. Also, outside tables are gross, zero toilet paper in the bathroom and it was gross. Overall pass for this place. Hope it can turn around one day because it has potential!

This place has awful service! If you’re thinking about going don’t bother you may get yelled at! We walked in and are from out of state so we didn’t know they were closing in a hour and 15 min, and the young brunette waitress that was working there rudely yelled at us that the kitchen is closing in 5 min and rolled her eyes when we walked in and stormed off! So we walked right out! They missed out on a lot of money because we are great tippers!

Great bar/restaurant right on the river! If you're stressed or want to feel like you're on vacation, this is the spot to come!! I drive about 45 minutes to get here, and it's well worth it. The food is great, simple bar food, drinks are great, and the atmosphere is amazing!
