The staff was so wonderful for our last minute change of dinner plans and the food was delicious! We were there late and they never made us feel rushed, drinks were constantly full and we adore their water service. Our super picky 7 year old asked what a Chef's Burger was on the kid's menu and I told him a burger made by the chef. His eyes got big and he said I want that. He declared it the best burger ever and said he was slipping into a food coma for the first time. haha! Thank you all for a great late evening!

If you go for music events, eat before you go, not enough help/servers.
Dont schedule huge birthdays in the big room with a music event.

A great all around experience. The food is good and drinks are great. The only slight negative was the Moscow Mule has an overpowering amount of lime in it.

I love the atmosphere and the outdoor seating. I love the name and the song based menu, for example, the "round here" burger. I love that is has live music. However, the music wasn't available during my visit. I enjoyed the calamari and the dipping sauce it came with, it was like a sweet soy sauce. I LOVED the spicy margarita, so much so- I got two of them. I didn't enjoy my fish taco so much, though. There was a soft shell, and a hard shell blended, to make what I call a gordita, I dunno. I think it was a waste of a hard shell taco, but the fish in itself was delicious. I do wish I'd returned to get a burger. I bet those were amazing. I enjoyed my visit, I enjoyed the atmosphere- service was a little slow but I enjoyed my visit, nonetheless.

The bang bang shrimp was just ok.
The waitress was amazing and knowledgeable about helping me choose a bourbon flight.
I went to the bar after I ate. I ordered an Old Fashioned. The bartender was quiet and not very social. I left after 1 drink. I was hoping for a better experience. I doubt I'll come back unless it's with a friend who wants to go.

I’ve always been a crowded fan, but they’ve fallen off terribly in the last year at the customers expense. Drinks don’t taste well made, they close at random times and tonight we waited over 45 minutes for my son to get ice cold food. We ate while he watched and they remade his food, I had to ask for it to be removed from my $110 check, in which the manager denied and gave me 10% off. It’s hard to support local when the food and experience isn’t good and it’s at the customers expense, unfortunately. Wont be back

Really enjoyed this place! My steak was perfect and they had a really good barrel aged quad beer on tap! Perfect!

Our waitress was fantastic! The food was terrible. It was the absolute worst steak my boyfriend ever ordered. We even sent it back because it was overcooked and they sent out the same steak cooked even more. Lol he ordered medium. The manager came out and argued that was medium the first time. He didn’t eat any of it because it was awful. We paid over $100 for the worst meal we ever had.

Much better than anything you’ll find in Muhlenberg County, where my wife and I drove from to try this place out (by recommendation of our local dispensary). We had the sampler appetizer with the BBQ Egg Rolls, Fried Pork Skins, and the Loaded Potato Skins. All great, but the pork skins honestly were the star. No complaints.I had the Rueben and my wife had a Brisket Smash burger, the sandwich was excellent, her burger has great flavor but was a bit difficult to eat due to both of her brioche buns splitting apart, making a mess. The fries were also excellent.Overall, highly recommend. We will come back.

In town visiting from NC, although Madisonville is my hometown. Went for appetizers around 730 pm. Nice crowd, good atmosphere, the service was stellar! The food left a whole lot to ne desired. Ordered the sampler with the BBQ egg rolls, the pork rinds and the fried mushrooms..also ordered the bang bang shrimp ?.Shrimp was huge, nicely battered but tossed in a sweet chili sauce. That is NOT the sauce or flavor for bang bang shrimp ? . There should be some elements of heat hot sauce or something...thatsbthe BANG!Pork rinds tasted store bought ?The mushrooms were tasteless.The BBQ egg rolls were without flavor as well. Whoever was cooking decided to not use any seasonings, salt, pepper or anything. Everything was just BLAND. If I were to return it would probably...maybe be just for a cocktail ?
