Service was decent but it took a long time for the order because of how they prepared it. To be fair they warned me in advance. If you're in a hurry, keep the order simple.

Their Grilled Chicken Tacos were really good and will be sure to order them in the future. The same goes for the Cauliflower. Serving size is ample for both and they are priced perfectly.

Nicely pressed bread, tasty pulled pork, pickles, mustard, etc. The sides were good as well - I enjoyed both the potato salad and the spicy slaw. Unfortunately, the slaw had a slightly grainy texture. Overall nice spot for a quick bite. Service was kind and fast. Will stop in again next time I'm in the area.

Let me start my review with this: The bar/restaurant is definitely a hole-in-the-wall kind of…read moreplace. It's been here as long as I've lived in the area, and I've driven by it countless times (parking lot is always buzzing), but didn't decide to stop by until quarantine 2020 hit. We're not big drinkers in my family, so we don't find ourselves wanting to sit in a smoky bar to eat a meal. We enjoy takeout, so it made sense to try the food when we did. I'm a HUGE fan of beer-battered fish, and got word of them having this every Friday (even outside of Lent, which is hard to come by)--I'm in! For $13 I got a ginormous beer-battered piece of fish on a soft roll, slaw, and fries. It was a soft fluffy batter, which normally wouldn't be my first choice (I'm all about that crispy beer batter), but it was delicious! I've ordered it a few times and it's been consistently fresh and yummy each time. My husband has ordered a few different sandwiches, and has been pleased with everything. Nothing has been knock-your-socks-off amazing, but they have solid food at great prices. I love that you can pull around the back of the building to pick up your food, separate from the bar entrance. Nothing is more awkward than hanging around a bar alone, screaming across a noisy counter, waiting for some poor bartender to stop serving drinks to check on your food order. You can avoid all that here! They take cash and credit, and get fairly busy early on the weekend. If we want to eat by 5:30, we usually order at least an hour in advance. Final note: Owned by a local family. I love supporting anything that isn't a chain, so I'll keep coming back. Even when things started getting rough this spring for small businesses (and bars in general), I've seen nothing but upbeat, positive posts from the owners on Facebook.

So I need to say right off the bat, three stars is an average score. I'd give them a 5 for food and…read more1 for service. Ambiance is rustic country if that's your thing. We spent 2 hours here, with only 15 minutes of that actually eating our food. They were not that busy for a Friday night dinner hour. Two other tables were there when we walked in. Four more came in after us. Not a rush by any stretch of your imagination. Yet we waited to be acknowledged and never actually got a menu. Fortunately we had known going in what we wanted. Three of us ordered the exact same thing. Beer battered fish sandwiches with two pierogis as a side. One jalapeño cheese the other potato cheese. The fourth person ordered wings and the same pierogis as a side. We probably waited a good 30 minutes for the food after ordering. First out were the wings and fish sandwiches. We had asked for tartar sauce and cocktail sauce when we ordered. There was none. Just a bare piece of fish on a bun. They said the pierogis would be right out. When they came there were only 3 of the 4 sides we ordered and we had no silverware to eat them with. So we couldn't eat the sandwiches which were getting cold or the pierogis. I got up and asked the waitress for silverware and she brought 2 forks. There were 4 of us! I found out that I actually had two of the same, potato cheese pierogis. I had ordered one potato cheese and one jalapeño cheese. I guess they ran out of pierogis. Since they were out of pierogis, Mac and cheese was substituted. Then I got up again and got two more forks and 4 knives from the wait station myself. Finally the condiments came and we could eat the sandwiches. All in all the food was delicious. Some of the best wings around and the fish sandwiches were really good on a nice soft, warm bun. The homemade pierogis were worth the wait. Jumbo sized filled with cheese and served with nicely caramelized onions. Fifteen more minutes went by after finishing our meal before we were asked if we needed anything else. Just the check and we decided it was best to pay in cash or else wait 20 more minutes to use a credit card. If you go, be prepared to WAIT for everything!

Tonight, I'm leaving this review immediately after walking out because our experience was just that unforgettable. I'm so grateful that my family and I decided to go out to eat tonight. We've been here a few times before for takeout, but tonight was our first time sitting down as a whole family of 6 and enjoying the full experience and it did not disappoint! Our food came out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The portions were great, and the prices were definitely worth it. The staff was so friendly, welcoming, and had the biggest smiles. You could genuinely feel the warmth in the atmosphere. And then there was an extra special moment that made our night even more memorable. My daughter and I love to read, and tonight we picked up Sherr's book, Where I Want to Be. We are already obsessed! Sherri, congratulations on your FIRST book! It was such a pleasure meeting you tonight. I truly believe that little unexpected moment made our entire night even more special. Thank you to everyone for such a wonderful experience.

They are all comfortable and spacious with seats that will work with any body type. They have a pretty large drink menu with some fun and creative options (and of course you could always order something not on the menu). The food menu has their featured chicken, pizza, salads and entrees such as pasta. I don't know the secret to their breading, but is is crispy and packed with flavor and the chicken is juicy and tender. Portion size is great and everything I've ever ordered has been tasty. The one downside is that with the high ceilings and nothing to dampen sound, it can get really loud . Not so loud you can't hear the other people at your table or anything, but noisier than most places that are a sit down restaurant. A wonderful spot for a tasty meal!
