The food was very good but after sitting down we noticed flies everywhere and on all napkins and the drink station, etc. all I could think about was the flies being on the food in the kitchen. You could tell this place needs a huge deep clean. I also overheard that “no one comes here anymore” or something of the sort. I think if this place tried to get the flies a little more under control with fly traps or soooomething and did a deep clean, it would have a chance. It’s a shame because the food is really good but I don’t think I’ll go back. It just kind of gave me the ick. I hate to leave a bad review especially about a local place but the owners and other patrons need to know.
Great staff and very good food.
Maybe it was bad day for them as they had someone out, but they were out of several options. Our appetizer came at the same time as our food. Part of the appetizer was dark like they had been redropped in the oil to warm them up. We both had a horseshoe, and the cheese was lukewarm and the fries tasted like they had been sitting. The hamburger fine, we just did not care for them as they were very well done. The bartender was our server and she was very nice and tried to keep up with everything, but it was obvious she was overwhelmed. If not for her our experience probably would have been rated lower.
Fun relaxed place to have lunch or dinner. Great service and reasonable prices. We had a party of 8 and were seated and served immediately.
Great food, prices, service!
A great quick plate a food that's a fair price. Tucked away behind Knights Action Park, it's a nice spot that will leave you full. Horseshoes m ponyshoes are divine.

We’ve been here several times. It’s been good and bad, My wife is a vegetarian, and the menu is limited. She usually gets grilled cheese with tomato and fries. I often order a burger or cheeseburger with fries because they have been out of what I’ve want. When the place is about half full, the noise level makes conversation difficult.

Updated 11-14-42, this place isn't what it used to be. Food quality has declined. Fries were good though. Chili has a strong tomato base.

Traveling through. Easy to find and close to hwy 72. Service was great. Fries are a must, no ketchup needed and Salmon BLT was delicious.

Way too loud. Had to yell to person next to you. Probably won't go there to socialize with friends. Food was OK. My soft drink was flat and watered. I ordered another, alcoholic drink to replace it. I think it would be a decent place to go but not if you want to connect with your group. My suggestion to the owners is to get some sort of cloth/rug/tapestry to put on the walls that would match whatever decor they are going for. Large canvas art would probably help, or, more expensively, a more sound absorbant flooring to counter the reverberation of sound.
