“Took some business professionals here for a lunch and was surprised to see almost no one inside at noon during the week! There was 1 guy at the bar, but he left almost as soon as we sat down. The bartender was also our waitress and overall she did a good job. Waters didn't stay empty for long as she brought over a large pitcher mid way through the meal. I don't recall her ever asking how our meal was at all. We had to go to the bar to pay the check & ask for to go containers, since she didn't come back to our table. There was maybe 2-3 people at the bar at that point, but I didn't see her visiting with them at all either. 2 of us at the table got the 4 pcs of broasted chicken, one plate arrived right away and looked amazing! The second plate arrived after everyone else had their food and looked pitiful!! The first plate's chicken barely fit on the plate, while the second plate of chicken didn't even cover 1/3 of the plate!! It looked like they ran out of chicken and either cooked up some Cornish game hen quick or shot a crow! Very disappointing! The side salad was also pretty minimal, lettuce, cheese & croutons, nothing more. Everyone said their food was good, but I just ended up getting the short end of the stick. I would have thought maybe they'd divvy up the smaller pieces between the two plates instead of giving one plate all the mini pieces!“

“Thank you for the delicious and reasonably priced food and friendly service and atmosphere. Never know w small town bars… :) Our first visit but it won’t be our last. THANK YOU!“

“Birch Street Bar is a great place to meet up with friends. You will be met and greeted by experienced bartenders. Entertainment is available with jukebox, pool tables and games. Space is available for your own private party or special event.“

“We hosted a birthday party at Mustang Sally's. The space was perfect for our occasion. The process of booking and planning with Sally was super quick and easy. Our guests enjoyed the space as well- enough comfy seating for everyone to be able to relax and catch up! Darts for people to play. Enough space for some kiddos to move around. Great wine and beers too! Loved all the decor and music as well. Thanks Sally and Staff (If I remember correctly bartenders name was Sandy). :)“
