horrible service, came to grab a drink and an appetizer at the bar. when we asked for napkins from someone behind the bar, she rolled her eyes and threw it in front of us, proceeded to roll their eyes at another coworker and then they laughed audibly. all because we were wearing a “Make Moonshine great again” hat. not even a MAGA hat. “peaceful side” bar…what a joke. bad service and bad attitude, don’t waste your time or money.

We came here on a whim because the reviews for their wings was amazing. We got pizza and wings and oh my word with everything absolutely divine! Even went and got ice cream from next-door the next day. Highly recommend!!!

Two things really stand out: 1) The food at this restaurant is DELICIOUS and 2) the staff and management are wonderful people. We ate here while attending Bugging the Dragon 7 (a Volkswagen enthusiast event) and the staff were so friendly and kind to our large group, allowing us to meet and park in their lot without cost. In addition to the accommodating and kind people who work at the restaurant, the food ROCKS! Particularly the appetizers. I highly suggest ordering the pretzel...read full review
