Food was not good at all right down to the fries. Shrimp scampi looked like a 7yo made it. Noodles few small shrimp and garlic for 21.99. Server was very friendly

My first and last time visiting this restaurant. The service is terrible, the management team clearly can not run a restaurant. It's a great location right off the trail system. I should of read other people's reviews first before going. Apparently alot of other people thought the same way as my group.

First time in since being rebuilt, not a good experience at! The old Dingmans was always a favorite stop of ours while on the trail. The new building is nice, but the staff could not care less about the customers. We stopped in for a late lunch 3pm, waited well over an hour for our food. When the food finally came it was mediocre at best..should of followed a few other tables and left and went somewhere else! The place was not very busy at all. We will not be back.

Waaay!! overpriced i orderer a basic build your own burger my bill was $17 for just the burger and $.75 cents for each item only 5 cheese lettuce tomato onion and jalapeño peppers nothing special making it a $20 burger when the other burgers on the menu with more items are much cheaper. We will never go back there.

We've stopped here twice now for lunch when out riding the trails. They don't care that you are covered in dust, just show you to a table and give you the best service. Food is great. First time we stopped our group of four ordered a pizza and bread sticks, this time we all had sandwiches. All of it was delicious

The kitchen hen is slooowww. Food was good although bread was well toasted (black in alot of areas) bacon also black in most places. Caramelized onions also blk and raw. Burger was burnt and dry. Waitress dropped the ball and not very attentive. Ordered a drink and never got it. Happy it wasn't on the check.

Boom boom shrimp was tough. Walleye and chicken tenders over cooked or else grease was really old. The 72- BBQ sauce, homemade tarter sauce and boom boom sauce were all delicious though.

Bar keep wasn't very attentive or friendly. The customers were nicer and more accommodating then the staff. 10$ for fried cheese chunks that tasted more like beer batter than cheese.

We were visiting relatives in that area and came across this nice little bar. We talked to very friendly locals and had some great food.

Overall, I thought my burger and salad were both good. I liked the extra Caesar dressing on the side. Nice touch. The burger had good flavor and was a good size. It was more medium-well than the medium-rare that I ordered. Service was a little slow, but the staff was nice. I just think they were understaffed for how busy it was. This place has a lot of potential to fill the hole of good food in the area.
