Like wineries in the Midwest, I'm also very cautious about distilleries. Just because you can make Jenn or bourbon doesn't mean that you should. Not the case for this place.

4.0* (out of 5)…read more Food: 4* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 3* Service: 4* 03/04/2023 We stopped here for dinner this weekend while staying at a house on Gull Lake and enjoyed our stop. From the outside, it had a large log-cabin type of appearance - but the strongest feature here was the atmosphere and the beautiful lighting and stone work that awaits you when you walk through the front door. It was truly an amazing visual experience to see! We started with a round of drinks. I had the Old Fashioned (see picture) and was honestly quite disappointed with it as it seemed to be nothing but straight bourbon and possibly a slight dash of bitters. My wife ordered a Margarita and both of us thought it tasted quite good. For dinner, my wife and I decided to split the 16 oz Ribeye (see picture) while she added the salad (see picture) and we shared the Popovers (see picture). I really liked the Popovers and the flavored butter that came with them. My wife enjoyed the flavor of the salad, but didn't like that it had to be cut at the table to eat it. The Ribeye was above average in flavor and was prepared as ordered - and the Cheesy Potatoes (see picture) were fantastic, so rich, creamy and delicious. Last but not least, we ordered a piece of Turtle Cheesecake (see picture) and that quite frankly was likely the highlight of my meal - I thought it was wonderful and would highly recommend that you end your meal with a piece of it yourself!

Hometown favorite for my husband. 9 of us stopped in last night and had drinks, beer, pizza and…read morepopcorn. I had a 6 pack pizza, 4 meats and 2 cheeses. Wonderful is all I have to say, super cheesy, plenty of meat and the sauce was great. Not sure of the brand of pizza but for frozen I give it a thumbs up. Drinks and beers are super cheap, comparing to Phoenix prices of course. The atmosphere is exactly what I want from a small town bar. Juke box playing, groups yapping and football on the TV's. Great service from bartender Mitchell. They sell beer sticks, which I'm an addict of and somehow I forgot to order some. Just an excuse to go back!!

Third time here and I really like this place. This time it was for breakfast and man was it good…read more The Brisket Scramble was amazing. Really good brisket with perfectly done eggs. Ask for the spicy sauce you like some heat. The Avocado toast was also tasty. Dinner or lunch has also been good with unique options and chef made food. Check out their cool cocktails.

Very good. We were a party of 12 and spent a lot of money on food and beverages. What deducts from a 5 star review is the $25 charge to cut a cake. Granted we were told there was a fee and we used their plates and silverware. The server even was given a slice. One relative insisted we needed a cake. Smh. Service was good.
