I stopped here for a lunch. It was a nice old building that was very clean. I had a pimento cheese dip that was warm and melted with fried pizza dough that had everything bagel seasoning on it to dip in the cheese for an appetizer. It was excellent. Then I had the Cowboy burger with fries. It was also excellent. I do recommend this place.

Husband ordered the NY Strip steak and it was perfectly seasoned and cooked. I ordered the Chicken Champignon and it was swimming in grease. The chicken tasted like it had been in the freezer to long. We will go again but I will probably just order a burger.

Me and my friend stopped in after work needing some REAL FOOD in our lives instead of our usual gas station BS. Came in to good music and even better people. The bartender (Kills me I don't remember her name) came out from behind the bar immediately to seat us. Got us drinks immediately. My friend got the Main St Special. Created by said bartender. He's still out in the hotel Parking lot dancing as I post this review. Needless to say the drink was worth it! We got mozz sticks buffalo dip for apps which were both on point! Huge Chunks of chix in the dip, with good fried bread mozz stix were extra stringy!
For dinner we had BLTs and the El Diablo Burger. BLTs had magnificently crispy bacon and the El Diablo sauce was Mmmm!!
Compliments to the Chef!!
Loved it, thank you for making us City Boys feel Welcome!

Really not sure about the poor reviews, this place was amazing. The lighting isn't dim, if anything it was quite bright. They said it is the best burgers and I must say as a burger guy I was impressed. I had the Diablo burger and it was amazing. Cooked exactly like I asked for, nice and spicy. We also tried the pimento dip, which was fantastic as well. The staff was so kind. Mary was perfect; made me all the random cocktails I asked for. Definitely stop in.

I had the highest expectations for this place, come to find out it’s literally a landfill of food. We were looking for a nice brunch spot before we go back home, saw the menu, everything looked and sounded great. The advertised $5 mimosas sounded great, after 8 split between 4 people, the champagne ran out. Their “system” was down, whatever that means, so the cook was outside cooking on a regular grill. No chicken, no steak, no biscuits or gravy. Breakfast burritos came out soggy with water dripping from them. The eggs came out a pale beige and the cheese barely melted. All while this was going on, the server was extremely frantic, running around even though there was only two tables sat. Overall the experience was terrible and the food was even worse. I want to use words but if I use the words I really want to use this review might not be posted. If you’re in the area want breakfast the Hardee’s is two stop lights down the road.

Traveled in the rain all day and wanted something closer to home cooked. Ordered sauted mushrooms, zucchini and mashed taters. I rate it a five for friendly, efficient and tasty. I could see hanging out at the bar with friends if I lived closer. I will say parking is not great, not their fault but a really cute little main strip and good place to eat

It's pretty dark for lightning and the beer was warm and the "cold cups" were midly cold. We were going to eat after being asked to move for the Entertainment and the lukewarm beer we paid and left.

This was the event of the season. A baby shower for Amanda and Ryan Butler in the back room of this wonderful restaurant. Chef Dave made it a fabulous event that should be in the newspaper soon. He had elaborated on his menu for our special event and customized everything we needed to share a baby shower in the highest quality professionalism.

Parking: There is plenty of parking behind and also across the street at the bank when the bank is not open

Kid-friendliness: There is a beautiful high chair and it really was a lot of fun with the event in the back room has a waterfall and pink rotating lights that allowed it to look like an ever-changing waterfall event.

Bartender/our server was kind very on point and great to chat with. Fish was overcooked to the point we could barely eat it but the bartender talked to cook and got us a discount. But in regards to service A++++. Oh hush puppy's were banging though!

From the outside, looked like it was closed. Garbage all over the sidewalk and in the entrance. It was FREEZING inside. Only one person working the tables, seemed a little overwhelmed. The food was good. Your typical bar food. Hamburgers, fish and chips kind of place. So the atmosphere was meh.

Parking: I'm sure the parking would be extremely difficult during regular business hours. Fortunately for us, it wasn't bad.

First, the good. The ladies working were very friendly and attentive. They were the highlight.

The bad: the food and the price. The food was not very good at all and was overall disappointing. Because of that, the prices are way too high for the quality you get. I paid $15.00 for Fish and Chips and it tasted like it came straight from the freezer section. Same with the fries. My friend ordered fettuccine alfredo and it missed the mark as well.

It did seem they were having an unusually busy night so there is a bit of grace there, but just go in with low expectations on the food and you won't be disappointed.

We stopped in for dinner before the fireworks. Our server Melanie was the absolute sweetest, and was super attentive despite it being fairly busy. The cottage pie was absolutely to die for. We will definitely be returning
