No our first dining experience here, but my first review. The facility is a fantastically rustic bar/restaurant run by the same family for 56 years! and counting. The octagonal dining area gives full view of an open flame grill that gives great comfort and a home town feeling. Plenty of tables and chairs, quite nicely decorated open beam walls and ceiling. Our waitress/server, Vickie is a sweet woman, very attentive to your needs and quick on the draw with drinks and food delivery. A couple came in that hadn't been in the area for decades and it was a pleasure listening to Vickie's brief explanation of the restaurant and it's history. The couple clearly felt very comfortable. On to our experience . . We enjoyed a cold beer, fresh made bread (banana and plain) and our appetizers as we briefly waited for our dinner orders. My small chef salad was just the size I ordered, garnished with a few green peppers, tomato, etc. My husband enjoyed a bowl of cheeseburger soup, he say's was also delicious. Our meals arrived: mine was a fish fry with coleslaw, french fries, ample tarter sauce, and lemon. The FISH WAS COOKED PERFECT! I loved the nicely crisped batter with steaming tender fish when I pierced the batter with my fork. The french fries a similar to fresh cut size, and cooked perfectly, as well. My husband enjoyed a plate of fried breaded shrimp and french fries. Having enjoyed the shrimp on a previous occasion we knew it would be great! Clean shrimp, no tails, cooked and ready to pop in your mouth. Juicy and delicious. Plenty of cocktail sauce. It was nice to watch Chef Maureen cooking orders over the flame grill; a nice thick piece of pork, sizzling away. Such a great dinner and friendly people. Thank you! We will return!

Parking: There is a huge gravel parking lot next to the bar/restaurant.

Server was pleasant but food was not very good and it was very pricey. The fish was way overcooked almost burnt and what bar does not make margaritas. This is a very honest review. We will not be going back I did not ask for a frozen margarita I asked for a regular one and for the price we could have gotten much better food. I am sorry if my review offended you but we only went there because of the reviews which I personally don’t feel were very honest

Enjoyed dinner here with hubby. Food was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. Our waitress Vickie was a delight. Very pleasant and quite patient. I loved her sense of humor. The owner, she was kind and caring. We will definitely be back. Thanks for the great service ?

Got a takeout fish fry for the 1st time last weekend and it was good. The bartender was incredibly nice and welcoming. Love the look and vibe inside.

The steak was good ,but I wanted a potato instead of onion rings,it was a up charge,it was a up charge for seasoning on steak,up charge for certain salad dressings. Waitress didn't bring change back.We use to visit this place often,won't be back

If you like cool historic buildings, this place is a must. The management is great and so is the food. There is a spacious bar, and they regularly have live music. Excellent place.
