The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, food and drinks were terrific and they even had a hand written card and bubbly at the table when we arrived. We were both glad that our go to restaurant for special occasions was closed and we decided to try somewhere new. We'll definitely be back!“

“Have to say being from out of town, my fiancé and I looked up a place to get Burgers. And here we landed.We sat outside and spoke with locals & Kenzie (our server), who suggested the cheese curds & the Stella moo. Both were on point as the curds were an exceptional & theeee best I’ve ever had. To add in there we had the fried striped bass. That was by far the star of the show. No need for extra anything. Driving cross country from Pennsylvania I can say this was quite the delight and I would be back again.Shout out to our server Kenzie who gave us the recommendations exceptional service.“

“Incredible food, and great service, even during a very busy Friday evening. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The only issue is a little noisy in the building when it was as full as it was. More difficult to have conversations across the table, but we did have a table of 8 so it was understandable. I would recommend doing a quieter evening during the week because the food was worth the visit.“

“Always great food, very accommodating, fun wait staff.Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free and low carb. I'm also allergic to tomatoes. The crab dip is great without the crumbs and veggies go well with it. Also love the cauliflower crust quattro fromaggio pizza with Alfredo instead of tomato sauce. Definitely a winner!“

“Came here for my wife's birthday. Kinda slow for a Saturday night just after 5:30. Got seated right away. Our server was not long behind our seating and we had appetizers of their cheese stuffed ravioli with marinara sauce. The were delicious but the star of the show was their marinara sauce. So flavorful I could buy a gal. Of it if I could. Then we ordered their perch dinner with broccoli salad and baked potato and the chicken with shrimp.and fries. Both dinners were delicious and juicy. Plenty to take home also. We didn't have any room for dessert. You have to go here if you want good food and drinks.“

We shared the pretzel logs with beer cheese. They were super soft and piping hot. The beer cheese was great too. Staff was very friendly and upbeat. Highly recommend this place. Definitely coming back soon. Nice to have this place here.“

“Went to Texas Roadhouse while traveling thru Elkhart Indiana. Sadie was my server and she was fabulous. She checked on me several times. My food was really good as I expected. Since I was a first timer at that particular store I got a coupon for a free appetizer. I’ll be using that at a local Texas Roadhouse.The manager came by to take to me. We had a good conversation. Unfortunately I can not recall her name.Great experience. I’ll stop by on my next trip through.“

“This is more bar than grill. They do sell burgers and quick eats. The food was good. The atmosphere is friendly with lots of smiling faces, however, it looks like a place that you can find trouble quite easily if that’s what you’re looking for. 4 pool tables, a “dart” board, jukebox. The night I went happened to be having karaoke. You must be 21 to enter with valid Id. I can’t rate this place for my liking, only for the experience I had. Hence the 5 stars.“

I like that you can order ahead and your food is ready pretty fast. Customer service is great! I heard their fried chicken was really good. One lady said she actually drove 2 hrs to get some. I don't eat chicken however, that seems to be what I hear people ordering when I'm there.“

I had never been here & we stopped because of all the cars parked here (usually a good sign) We had a great breakfast here & our waitress was Outstanding!!! The two things that really stood out were our perfectly made pancakes and the smooth mellow coffee. If you drive by here stop to eat. I wish you were closer to my home. We just happened to be driving by coming home from an appointment that took us out to Elkhart.“

“went to breakfast with a friend yesterday.. Waited over an hour and a half for our food. When we finally did get it was was amazing per usual. And they only had one waitress running the floor. I gave her a $35 tip. It was the day before thanksgiving. But waiting over an hour and a half for food is a little excessive. I felt so bad for the waitress being the only one running all those tables. I would recommend it but only if you're not in a hurry.“
