    The food was AMAZING…read more The interior feels like an old-timey typical diner; the food doesn't seem to match the ambience. My husband's salad wrap was gigantic and my walleye was delicious! The french fries were made from scratch..

    We came in & were asked if we were there for the music. Our faces must have reflected confusion as…read morethat was followed by "Did you know there's music tonight?" We, in fact, did not know & answered such. We were seated immediately with a run down on the gent that would be taking the stage shortly & a run down on how the blue oyster came to be... because they grow blue oyster mushrooms. Speaking of, the blue oyster mushroom app is NOT to be missed. I'd come back for that alone. As a matter of fact, I tried to today on the way home but they're closed Sun. Service was friendly & leisurely. We both ordered cocktails & both agreed that we wouldn't again. $8 was a reasonable price & they did use decent liquor in them. They just weren't really our kind of drinks, a bit too sweet & colorful for our bitter tastebuds. As I mentioned, the mushroom app was FANTASTIC & I'd highly recommend it. I opted for the Cajun Pasta - very good, creamy, cheesy sauce - tho very Norwegian spice level. I'll call it Norw-ajun vs Cajun. The hubs had the fried rice. It was a solid dish. We were overly full with the 2 dishes and an app. We agreed that next time we would order the app & 1 dish to split, no cocktails - or at least not any off the featured menu. All in all, we found pricing reasonable, food to be tasty, drinks would be a hit for many & service good but not fast. Glad we found it!

It was relatively busy when I arrived but found a spot at the bar. A lady behind the bar saw me and immediately looked away. I overheard a waitress come up to her behind the bar(right in front of me)and ask how to split a check and she told her she didn't have time for that shit today. I waited for about 5 minutes for her to take my drink order. I ordered and moved to a table to wait for my friends to arrive. We ordered 4 shots and they come right away but the waitress disappeared for awhile. We ordered drinks and food finally....while ordering the waitress didn't think we were ordering fast enough and said "if you guys aren't ready I'll just come back"....while we were ordering.....overall...food was excellent but everything else was a joke! Another waitress was stomping around and throwing chairs down like it was an event....it was a lot. I came to spend money and have a good time and we left. Spent our money elsewhere. Kudos to the cook! You a real one! Our server never greeted our table, never told us any specials, never introduced herself the entire time we were there. So upon leaving I had to ask what her name was....Rochelle.
