We were looking for a local place to eat on a Sunday and were delighted to find this little place. Absolutely fantastic food! Lovely little local spot with outside seating over loooki g the waterway. Friendly staff and locals,I have no criticism of all the dishes we tried. The secret sauce rocks by the way and their fries were fantastic! The pricing was fair. If you are ever up this way I would highly recommend this establishment! Great job!??

I wouldn't go back for the food, but if I was looking for a nice place on the river to drink, I'd go back. The place is overall pretty cute, but it's definitely a dive bar with mostly fried food options. Not the best place for people who are gluten free—I thought my drink was decent though. We got our burgers with no buns and overall, the burgers weren't bad. I had Als burger. They took way longer than expected to come out though. I also liked the regular fries and sweet potato fries more than the kettle chips.

Kid-friendliness: Considering every video I’ve seen of this place, there’s always a drunk psycho, I’d say no lol

Fun place.
Had the tots and they were somewhat under whelming. Ordered a round of three bourbons and there were bugs in them all. Very surprised the bartender didn't notice them and proceeded to serve them to us.

Took my 16 year old daughter there as it is down the street from my parents. It was a very slow night . We found a table and the bar tender basically told me what do you want. Didn't even give me a memu. I asked for menus and she rolled her eyes. We placed an order for wings (bone in) and river tots . I had to order at bar as she wouldn't come to table . Our food came .. river tots were amazing .. but the wings came boneless and like little hard rocks. It was disappointing and not what I ordered. Both me and daughter left disappointed. But what made me even more angry was even my recite said bone in wings ... and the attitude of the staff. I won't be back

Don't be afraid when you drive up to steel shed, looks sketchy. Service was great. Food was very good...long wait but worth it. Ask for sauce on the side, burgers are big and messy.

We had a great early dinner with drinks. The service was great and friendly. Perfect afternoon on the patio with the pooch overlooking the water...
