Upon arrival this was a very inviting place with an excellent and attentive bartender. I order my beer and a salad and waited out on the deck with the beautiful views. The salad came out almost an hour later after I i had checked on it earlier. There was a small catered gathering inside which consumed all the kitchen help. Ended up taking my salad to go but should have just walked out because it wasn't worth the time and money spent.

Such a great local spot for our first night in the area. The owners were incredibly friendly and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The food and drinks, especially the beer and cider, were excellent. The views of the river and the chance to see wildlife made the experience even more memorable. I would definitely recommend it!

Showed up at 4:20pm on a Friday and the doors were locked. Nobody answered the door or phone. Very disappointed.

We’ve eaten here many, many times. We’ve never had a bad experience, but our times eating out on the deck have been memorable and wonderful! The view is gorgeous, and the breeze off the river makes it comfortable even on a hot summer day. The deck is designed perfectly to provide shade where you’re eating, but give you a great view at the same time.

The drinks are exceptional. My husband enjoys beer, and there are so many great choices. I enjoy cider and wine, and there are plenty of options for me as well. I especially appreciate that I’m able to try new ciders I haven’t even heard of, and I have found several new favorites by doing that here.

The food is excellent, and our favorite Items are the street corn dip, the pretzel, and the flatbreads. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the flatbreads, but my eight year-old daughter prefers the chicken bacon ranch, and our whole family enjoys the everything one!

We can’t recommend this place enough! Recently, I wanted to order something to go, and I couldn’t find the menu online anywhere. It turned out, upon speaking with the staff when I arrived, that their website was hacked by someone who was upset that the owners are not originally from our town. That’s awful, so I wanted to provide a menu for people who are searching for it. Someone suggested I should write a review here so that people could find it. I took photos of the menu that they handed me in the restaurant, not realizing that no prices were listed. I don’t know if I got a rogue menu or if they don’t normally put the prices, so all I can do is suggest that you contact them to find out how much something costs if you need to know that before you go to the restaurant. I do hope that the lack of prices doesn’t turn anyone off from going here: it’s definitely worth a visit!

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. The food was amazing, and we loved the ladies behind the bar. The vibe was great. We enjoyed sitting outside, watching the river, and listening to music.
