Should change the message on the crab shake. They do not have crabs and bar staff is rude.

This is a nice rustic bar/restaurant supported by locals.It is decorated for Christmas and looked nice. The upper walls were filled with many large flat-screen tv's all on sports, I was bored with that, not being a sports fan. Please, we need a break. Truthfully, I did not realize this was a sports bar, I would have never come here knowing that.Well, ẁe entered and were told to sit anywhere, all we saw were high top tables and bar stools, we preferred a lower table and chairs, there were none, maybe in the back, no one seemed to be there.To the food, our server made suggestions after we asked. She was on the spot with the chicken wings (mild), and they were good-sized and market value.. My husband got the cheese steak sub with french fries (upcharge). He enjoyed the meal. All were served in paper lined plastic baskets.Our bill came, and after reviewing it, I gave her my cc. She returned, and the bill now was $3 higher. The difference was in the price of the cheesesteak sub. She said nothing about the increase, and I did not recall prices from the menu. I just paid it and left wondering if I was overreacting.May return in crab season.There is plenty of free parking.

Good food and nice atmosphere for hanging out with friends.Love the new (2023) renovations giving the inn a more rustic country look.

The ambiance was rustic and a very nice bar scene decorated for the holidays. This bar seems to be supported by locals and sports buffs. Huge tv's hugged the upper walls, grabbing the attention of patrons. Honestly, I was bored by being pummeled with sports. The young lady behind the bar said to sit anywhere, all there were was the hightops and bar stools, we prefer a low table, there were none, maybe way in the back where no one was seated. She brought over the 2-sided menus, I asked what they do well here, as it was our first visit. She made her recommendations, and my husband got the cheesesteak sub with French fries (upcharge).I ordered the chicken wings with ranch and celery (8 for $10.95), not bad! She said they were good here, also the hamburgers , I can't remember what else they do well, other than the crab cake.We did not order anything with alcohol, so I am at a loss there. They do have beer on tap and bottles.The cheesesteak was good, fresh roll and tasty meat. The fries were as expected, nothing outstanding. Just good for bar food.My chicken wings were not puny, just normal size and market value, had them made to be mild. This came with celery (quite fresh and crunchy), the ranch was poured off into a plastic cup.Both orders came in plastic baskets, and a paper plate for bone discard. Plenty of napkins.Have to hand it to them, in-between sports, they played music and they sure do have a kicking stereo system, really great quality. It was a welcome break.She did visit once to make sure all was Ok and any needs. All was fine.The bill came , I checked it and gave her my cc, she returned and the bill was altered and the price of the cheesesteak went up $3!Honestly, I did not say anything or check the bill against the menu, which was put away. I just chalked it up as an oversight on the server's part. She did not say anything about the price adjustment either. I can understand a mistake in the charge. Just say something. I guess I am overreacting at this point. Sigh.

Title: "First-Time Delight, Football Fun, and Fabulous Food!"---This was my inaugural visit, and I'm absolutely hooked! Five stars without a doubt. The atmosphere here is welcoming and friendly, making it an instant favorite. The advice and service from Ashley were top-notch; I can't wait to chat with her again on my next visit.The place itself is spacious, which is a huge plus, and those shrimp platters? Absolutely fantastic! But what really made my day were the superb TVs, perfect for catching football games. I'm already counting down the moments until I can return for more great food and an awesome football experience!

I was there on a Monday, mid afternoon. It wasn't busy at all and the service was horrible. I had to flag down the bartender just to get what I needed for my food. Never checked back on me after I got the food as well. Overall, the food is alright but the service needs to be better.

I love this bar. It's a small local bar. The food is always good. The drinks are always good, and the service is great! Always a good time here
