“We have visited several times when in town visiting from VA, 2016-2018. Peggy makes it happen when there. She’s a great bartender & really fun to talk with. She is the on-site Miss Kitty for the Gunsmoke reruns playing in the background. We returned bc of her. Wish we had a neighborhood bar like Apple River. Thank u for ur warmth & personality Peggy.“
“Absolutely love the fish fry! Employees have always been nice. The only thing is that it can get really busy (like 30min to 1+hr wait) especially during lent for fish, but that is expected for the great food!Parking: They have an overflow parking lot across the street, but in the spring it can get pretty muddy.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu including a kids fish option for Friday nights. They also have high chairs available.“
“This place gives me a new experience every time I go there, which is only about once a quarter. I’ve taken my wife, brother, and dad there on separate occasions, and they all had fun (and my wife hates bars). Inexpensive burgers and stiff drinks. Keep up the good work.“
“The food was wonderful. The service was great and you get a lot of food for the money. I brought enough home for another meal and it was just as good the second day. Going back there for sureMake sure you make a reservation if you are going on a Friday night.“
“Great people and service. I know that the owner of this establishment likes to "keep it local". To me, that is a big deal. I patronize multiple locations in town and am a manager at one of such places. However, out of all of them in this category I have not yet found a location that makes you feel at home like Bobcats. The owner and staff are always pleased to take care of you. And I have seen first hand, (figuratively) bending over backwards to make people comfortable in their environment.“
“Fun little bar! I love all of their small specials: Ladies Night, Guys Night, Free Darts, Train Shot, etc. The bartenders are cool and the drinks are fair priced. My only complaint is that the cleaner or room spray in the men's bathroom can be smelt from the bar...“
“Stopped in @ 9 am and the bar was filled with regulars drinking coffee and solving all the ills of the community ?. Great feel of a bar that's been around for a long time and everybody made me feel welcome. This is the kind of place that should be on any "Classic" bar lover's list.“
“We had a party of 5 and sat in a boot in the bar area. The food was fantastic and the service was exceptional.Everything from popovers to bread, soup salad and entree's were delicious.Our granddaughters are picky eaters and cleaned their plates. I had the king cut prime rib and I can't remember ever having better.I didn't catch our server's name but have to give a shout-out because she was awesome.This was our first time here but definitely not our last.Parking: Plenty of parking“
“Cute and cozy. Drinks weren't overly priced. (The husband thought $5.75 for a beer was outrageous) I had the lenie chicken wrap. My husband had a burger. We added fries and onion rings because they don't come with the sandwich. The food took a while to get to us but we weren't in a hurry. The staff was friendly. I really wish I would have tried the homemade soup though.“
“Great food, good place for sports. Cozy with plenty of seating. Nice valley well maintained with a few slot machines in the back. Hometown spot with comfort food. The kitchen closes early, and pizza and fryer food (apps) are still available after the kitchen is closed, so you you don't have to leave hungry.“
