As a seasoned fish fryer, from both state lines north to south, this is the absolute best fish fry I have ever had! Don’t hesitate to get the blue gill and perch! The prompt and Friendly service to topped it off! impeccable! Will definitely be back!

Took advantage of the $2 Tuesday burgers and was not disappointed. Tasted way better than I expected, honestly. Tater tots were fantastically crispy. Friendly staff.

This is a fun bar and has good food, service, and excellent old fashioneds. We were really disappointed though when we stopped in, wanting dinner at 8:15, they were posted as being open until 9, and we were told the kitchen was already closed. That's just not OK. You need to post your kitchen hours.

Amazing Reuben but the Jalapeno Avocado soup was the bomb 💣
Hats off to the chef.
Try the Blueberry Wheat Ale too.

We loved this place. Food was excellent. You will wait for the food. Getting a drink may take some time, be patient. Its worth the wait. Enjoy a few drinks and go outside to wait. We will be back!

The best fish fry we have had in lake country. We both went with the bluegill and perch. Cooked perfectly. The baby red potatoes were great. It was busy but they did a great job of taking care of everyone and moving people through. The best old fashioned I've had in the area and good prices, too. Bartender and wait staff were top notch and very friendly. We're glad we stopped.

Went on a Tuesday for $2 burger night and arrived early

Pros:
- $2 burgers with additional toppings being $ 0.25-1.
- Dive bar feel
- Waitresses were kind and engaging with my young kids
- Kids enjoyed coloring squirrels for the wall

Cons:
- Horribly rude hostess who seemingly was only nice to locals. She was wearing yoga leggings and an oversized black sweatshirt. It was unclear that she worked there initially because of her appearance. Additionally, she rolled her eyes when my elderly father asked her a question.
- No menu for the $2 burger night so we didn't order many toppings.
- Restaurant is small and loud
- Unable to accommodate food allergies

Probably won't be back based on the rudeness of the host

Stopped with my wife along with family here visiting from Virginia. They had a hard time seating us as tables and chairs were not to be moved. Only one food ticket per table so although my wife and I only wanted to have an appetizer as we had to leave before all the rest of our group did, we weren't allowed to. Can't comment on the food as we had to leave. The staff were not friendly and it seemed that they must not need the business. Very disappointing, I will be telling the people I know that they would be better off looking for other places to grab something to eat.

It was very unfriendly wouldn't let you have separate checks and we felt very unwanted. We left and took our business some where else.

Went for the $2 Tuesday burger special. It costs extra for lettuce, tomatoes, onions, bacon, cheese, and fries, but ended up still under $5 for both my son and I, so I was able to splurge on the brownie Sundae. The Sundae was $7, but the brownie was enough for 4 and was topped with 2 scoops of ice cream and 2 scoops of whipped cream. Recommended my friends to come here.
