The best blackened chicken sandwich. They have karaoke some nights and live music on others.

We were hopeful this place would work out since it was walking distance to our stay. Unfortunately it was not a good experience. The drinks were so watered down and weak. The food was horrible. For example the hot Italian wasn’t even warm, it was dry, hardly any meat etc. I understand it’s bar food but one of the items needs to be good - I.e. drinks or the food. The server Jackie was a sweetheart and the only plus to that experience. A total waste of $120.

Service was awful. No one seated us. We had to go to the bar to ask to be seated. Dirty table. Waited for a waitress for 15 mins. Food was terrible. The crispy chicken sandwich was a patty that had the chew of gristle. We will never go back!! Sorry to say but it was awful from the time we walked in til the time we walked out.

We specifically called ahead to ask when their kitchen closed because we knew we wouldn’t be back before a certain time. They told us the kitchen closed at 10pm. We showed up at 9pm and they told us the kitchen was closed. Then we heard the security guard ask the other one why they closed early. We would have stopped somewhere else in our way home.

Granted, it's a bar/tavern, but don't recommend going unless it's for a drink. Most of the food was not made in-house (aka the chicken wings, brisket, and burgers), and was mostly processed. Food lacked flavor and seasoning. Ordered chicken wings that were supposed to be tossed with bourbon BBQ sauce... most of the wings were not covered, and the sauce not only lacked flavor, but the wings had no flavor themselves, but coming already pre-cooked from out of state, guess you can only add sauce. (adding in response to the business' comment: our waitress was the one to tell us that they were prepared from out of state so she could claim the kitchen had no responsibility for the way they tasted). Food came out lukewarm as well. The wait staff was also limited and not the kindest. Went with my family, and 3 of the 4 of us also did not feel the greatest after eating there for the evening.

We were in the area on Saturday and found your place for lunch while driving around. Yes, it’s a bar setting, but we had the absolute best service, and the food was delicious! Our server was AWESOME and so attentive and knowledgeable! I’m sorry I don’t remember her name. We actually went to a more upscale restaurant for dinner and the food and service was not even close to your restaurant. Thank you! You helped make our weekend getaway enjoyable!!

We are dinner here. They had karaoke and one of the ladies in our group sang. She nailed it. Everyone in the establishment was very impressed with our friend who sings exceptionally well.

Service was quick, drinks were strong and tasty, food was on point. Coming from out of state for a quick weekend getaway. Best place so far!
The people and service were very good. But don't assume this ranking to imply this is a 4 star restaurant, it is a bar that serves bar food. It can be what you are looking for but it's a bar and nightclub first.Parking: We did see there were Tesla chargers behind the building.

Food is better than you'd expect! Service is lacking, there is few staff and it's usually very busy, as the location is popular. However, they still maintain a clean environment, reasonable service speed, and quality food and drinks. Definitely worth a visit for karaoke night on Thursdays if that's something you're into.Parking: With how busy it gets, the parking is a long single line; so you may have to walk more than 50 yards to get to the door. It's on level ground and wheelchair friendly.

Stop for a drink Friday night. We got a Cherry Rum ?? (something) mixed drink, 2 drafts and an order of fried pickle chips for $30ish. Cherry drink was good(pricy to me @ $13 but could be average for the area), draft beer was cold, and the pickles while good dipping ranch seemed a bit watered down. Service from the bartender was good, she was busy, servers who all walked by seemed friendly with smiles and hellos. Stop again? Sure, probably skip the pickles though and try something else as the regular meals coming out looked great. They also had an acoustic musician there for the evening, who was good as well.

Rude bartender. If you are not from the area, I suggest not going here. It’s very clear they cater to locals and find annoyance with people from out of town. We were there at least 20-30 min at the bar. The bartender(amy?) avoided eye contact the entire time, and went to multiple groups at the bar a few times before getting to us for the first time when she accidentally met our gaze. Asked for shots - she went around to a few more tables of locals and got order and their drinks after us, completely skipping our order. Then went to do dishes which is when we decided to just leave. I suggest you go elsewhere if you are not local- you will not be wanted or respected.HIGHLY recommend honi Goni bar down the road. Twice as busy and was served within a minute of being at the bar.
