Burgers almost as good as the original burgers. French fries undercooked. Seven onions rings! Is that the order size? Eat on site because take-out food quality is less than stellar.

The burgers are one of the best locally available and their selection of deep fried goodness is fantastic. Definitely recommended for more than just 'bar food' or as a place to drink.

We went in tonite at 8:54 pm. We were starving..Bethy made sure we had “beers for our men, and water for our horses” before we left, despite the fact that she and the lady that was there cooking had to hang with us for another 1/2 hour, MINIMUM, after the kitchen should have been closed… Not only was the kind service unforgettable, the food was GREAT!! To Bethy and her husband, Happy Trails, Happy Anniversary, and THANKS!!

There's no place like home, and this place sure felt like we were with family! Great burgers cooked before our eyes, great beers and the most awesome, friendly bartender and cook, ever! Total dive bar feel and decor with some of the friendliest locals we've ever met!

The bar was clean and the waitress was nice. There was only the cook and the waitress/bar tender working. There was a few other people there. It took a long time for our food to come, understandable with only the 2 working. I got the 1/2 pound bacon cheese burger and my boyfriend got the Philly steak and cheese sandwich. Both our sandwiches weee good!
