“This is our go-to place every Monday except for when they are closed or if something else is going on. They are just a little laid-back small town joint. Everyone who works there is always super nice. It can get a little crowded sometimes during lunch hour, but we always manage to find a spot. They also have a covered picnic area if you like to eat outside. Food is always delicious. The BBQ is the best in town (sorry to both Bridges lovers). Burgers are excellent, and so are the hot dogs. I highly recommend it. They only take cash, though, if you have never been.“

“Great food. I really enjoyed the tomato basil soup. My husband liked his ribeye. Drinks were ok. Disappointed that a 20% gratuity was included on our bill when we received it. I prefer to reward service on my own rather than have it forced on me. So although we enjoyed it, we likely won’t be back. Sorry.“

“Took my wife out for our anniversary at Ruby Tuesday’s on July 14th. I ordered 1/2 rack ribs with fries and she ordered a hamburger, two salad bars, and tea. The total bill including a tip was $50.00. The Berger and salad was good, but th ribs were tough and dry and possibly left over from earlier and warmed over. I have eaten ribs before at the same place and always good.“

“The staff were hopping! The food was hot and fresh. The wait staff were fast, accurate and friendly. The 1 busses that stood out to me, as I people watched was a young black man that had dimples that could hold a cup of water lol, anyway he was cleaning like a mad man, was very aware of his surroundings, made sure not to bump chairs, table or clients. I was very impressed with his work ethic as the other 2 bussers looked like they had a long nite, dragging around, bumping the surrounding areas. If you see someone doing a job and doing it well, say something. I thanked him several times. Owners please know he was a rock star that day for your company.“

“Wow! What a great hamburger. I have paid $15 for burgers that were not as good. It was cooked up fresh after I ordered it and was delicious. I could tell it is good quality hamburger meat. The fries were good also, they were large crinkle cut fries .And they were fried up fresh.. A friend told me about the lemonade and I tried it. It’s the best around and I even got a free refill. I love this place..A restaurant doesn’t have to be complicated to serve great food.“

“I've been to dozens of breweries over the years, some are good, some are lame... This place is AMAZING!! The Belgian Tripple is on point, and I've been to Belgium and had those beers. They have a great ESB and Sangria. The chicken tenders (sweet chili sauce) were out of this world good!! There is ample seating, dining room, upstairs and outside. The music is good, and at the right volume so you can still have a conversation. This place is a gem!!“

“A little late on this review and I apologize for that. My friends and I went to this restaurant after a wedding and had some drinks and ate. The atmosphere was awesome and we had the pleasure of meeting Nancy. Nancy is the biggest reason we enjoyed the experience, she was funny and made us all laugh despite how exhausted we were. The drinks were very reasonably priced and the food was delicious.

10/10 would recommend again.“

The atmosphere is colder during the day but warmer at night. There could definitely be some better management choices. The staff are extremely friendly and I can't stress that enough.“

“The food was awesome. The cheeseburgers and the grilled chicken sandwich were huge. All were cooked perfectly. The music was a little loud but not horrible. I liked our waitress but she was distracted during our visit, busy talking to someone in the bar. She asked if I would like mayo for my sandwich and I waited about 10 mins before she brought it back. It was not busy when we were in there. She also asked if we wanted a to drink and my SIL said yes. She went to get it and stopped to chat. Never did get the drink so we just left.“
