Great place to enjoy the evening! Friendly service! I can't rate the food as I haven't eaten there yet but, I did question a patron about how she liked her plate of a hamburger and fries. Her reply, 'absolutely delicious '. And I've seen repeat families eating their meals. I gather they enjoy the food. I'll have to eat there sometime to see for myself and return to this review.

They have a pool table at $2/game.

A LIVE band on Friday nights, which is also 'Open Mic' night, so bring your voice, instruments, or use the house band's equipment including keyboard. All ages are welcome! A friendly atmosphere!

The staff is extremely nice. Eating here felt like being at a close friends home. The owner greets every new customer and makes sure they are comfortable. Although it is a bar and grill it is very child friendly. Food was great, big portions, and came out fairly quick. GREAT EXPERIENCE. Highly recommended coming to eat here.

Vegetarian options: Has many vegan and vegetarian options.

Parking: Open spots everywhere. Not very busy.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. The owner makes everyone feel at home and comfortable in the establishment.

Was in the area for an overnight stay. Friend and I decided to stop by this place after a hike and was not disappointed. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the people were just so amazing. There was live music and WOW, what an enjoyable experience overall. Felt SO welcomed by the locals.

I really can't recommend this place enough. Will definitely stop by again the next time I'm in the area!

A place filled with memories. The bartender, who’s likely around 80 years old, shared so many fascinating stories about the history of the place and the people who helped shape it into a sort of living museum. We created our own memories there too, and I look forward to returning in the future to show my kids where I’ve been. I even left behind a piece of currency as a memento.

The food wasn’t great, but the atmosphere was incredible.

Parking: Its free and not busy. Plenty of parking available.

It’s a small town dive bar. I WISH I was staying locally for the night, I guarantee this place is LIT with amazing country folk locals.

Food was ok, service was good. I can see this bunch having some attitude… give it back. Not every business is going to kiss your a** constantly.

Cool little place to stop after hiking and grab a burger. Friendly staff, funky decor on the walls and ceiling, decent food...though a little slow, I have no complaints. Will return again when in the area :)

Went at 12:30 on a weekday and waited at the front to be seated for almost 10 mins with no one in sight. Ended up seating ourselves since I was with my kids and sat for another 5 mins without seeing anyone so we left. Won't go back.

Great little spot after a hike through the park
Burger and beef dip were excellent.
An older man named Mario owns it. He seemed tired. Seems like the cook is doing most of the work for him. Mario should hire more staff to help him out. Otherwise we had a decent meal and experience.

Went here for lunch and this place didn't disappoint us at all. Lots of parking space. Very cozy interior with lots of interesting stuff all over the walls. Great patio with sun and shade options. Friendly and fast service. Pretty big and diverse menu with steaks, ribs, soups, sandwiches and burgers + vegetarian options.
We had 2 different burgers one with peamel bacon and one with BBQ sauce with a side of home cut fries for both. At first, as we were hungry, portions looked small, but it was just an illusion. Got pretty full after finishing. And the taste was absolutely amazing. Juicy, tasty and the bun was holding its shape till the last bite.
They also have some live music events in the evenings, don't know if it's every evening or some particular days, but would like to visit for that purpose.
Highly recommended if you are in the area.

Dead flies in the ice cubes in 3 of our drinks, the guy who took our order reeked of beer, expired mustard and ketchup, salt was a solid brick in the shaker. Food was terrible, afraid to eat it due to the experience before our food even came and when it did, it was disgusting. Major health hazard, dirty place and we are not the type of people to complain. I wrapped the burgers up and fed them to my dogs. This place needs to be shut down
