Good food and low prices. 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 5/30/25 The day crew was just thinning out and shift changing. I sat at the bar. Fair beer selection, and mixed drinks. Average bar seating, plenty of tables with a couple of pool tables, quick and friendly service. Everybody seemed friendly and willing to visit or leave you be. I was treated like a regular pretty quickly; I started a tab and the bartender called me by my name every time she refilled my glass. Wings Buffalo style were good. Hot from the fryer, crispy, sauce was Frank's based. No celery. Burger was served on thick sliced, grilled Italian-style bread and put properly together, not deconstructed. Patty appeared to be 1/4 lb and premade but pretty good; decent pickle, red onion, and hand sliced tomato. Better than average waffle fries, seasoned, and prepared by somebody who cared about the food. 7/10. TouchTunes jukebox. A few screens with ballsports on 'em. TV keno. Typical neighborhood spot with above-average service.

An interesting visit to Chuck's Bar. Not quite the same results as my stop in February. I did…read morerecommend this to our group because we had great service and good food! This time maybe a bit different. Our group of 8 started out with the Potato Skins and The Sampler! Both were very good and would definitely recommend! I chose the Whiskey Creek Burger as did two others in our group. The consensus / good burger but overcooked and not enough bbq sauce. Another chose the Leroy Brown, 2 more got Bacon Cheese Burger, another 1/2 Club - overall the lunch was well liked. Our server was great and she kept on top of everything. Doubtful our travels will pass through here again but if in the area it's a worthy stop!

This was one of the worst visits I have ever had at Chuck's. We ordered a sampler platter for…read moreappetizer and substituted the rattle snake eggs instead of wings. We ordered trash can nachos and sliders as our meals. The nachos were the first thing to come out, yes before the appetizer. They were terrible, no lettuce, no shredded cheese, had ordered with extra jalapenos, there were none. The top had some kind of hamburger gravy looking stuff on it, the pico was completely hidden, they didn't taste good. The cheeseburger sliders came out and one had mushrooms on it. Finally the sampler came out and it was all pretty much burnt, the rattle snake eggs had bacon on it that was so done it just feel apart and the peppers were burnt. The waitress came over and got us boxes and left the check and listen to our concerns. She obviously didn't want to face the problem because she never came back to the table. We had to go to the bar to pay. There wasn't one apology or offer to make it better. Chuck's you need to do better.

Russell's was a great place to stop in and grab a bite to eat. We loved the fact that we could…read moreorder breakfast for dinner! I ordered the Waffle and although it was tasty I would have preferred to have whipped cream & fruit on mine. Order the hash browns crispy & sausage links. Links were good hash browns were definitely not crispy but were still good. The cinnamon rolls were quite tasty but definitely need a cup of coffee or milk because it was pretty sweet. Service was great and I like the vibe that it was the type of diner I went to in my younger years! Although distance prevents me from going again I would be a regular at this place if I lived close by.

We waited almost 5 minutes at the hostess stand. When nobody came to seat us, we walked back to the bar. Employees were grouped around and chatting with each other in the service area and in the bar. The two female employees in the bar stopped talking long enough to tell us we had to go back to the hostess area to be seated. Nobody was interested in serving us. What a joke. After they sent us back, we laughed and left, and went to Applebee's instead. Seriously, it was like employee social night.

The best part of our time was the spectacular service ever else wasn't good. We ordered the chopped salad because it is the "house specialty ". It was fine but nothing out of the ordinary, we shared chicken Marsala and were extremely disappointed with the gelatinous "sauce" that smothered the chicken. We also ordered a half order of creamy shrimp pesto and the pasta was gummy and even now I search for something positive to say. The portions are huge and it seems to be a local favorite but definitely not for our group.

The food is fresh and good, the service  friendly and usually with a smile. Entertainment, if wanted, can be the staff, the jukebox, TVs for sports (or news or weather or whatever), other patrons, or the breeze under the shade tree out back on the patio. Generally fairly quiet but with brief periods of rambunctiousness. This place isn't trendy or peripheral but is decent, solid, and is-what-it-is. Come on over and enjoy the break. Sidenote: 7 days a week and while Yelp shows 'fast food' don't be confused, it ain't a chain and you might have time for a second drink.

They were very large! Ordered fries as well but wished I hadn't after seeing the size of the chicken. This could have been a shared plate. My sister got the two piece dark plate. Definitely was filling for her. Prices are decent and portions are generous. Everything was hot, fresh and was cooked to order. You go up to the counter and order your food. There is a board on top the counter with specials of the day. They had three Saturday. The ladies (there were two) checked on us a few times and were very friendly. It's a small place with about twelve tables if not more with four chairs and they have booths. Restroom is unisex and super clean!!! Had to wash my hands after eating. When visiting here again I will definitely be back. I'm sure Santa chicken will have exited by then.
