The bartender was pretty nice, but also seemed a little skittish of us out-of-towners. This bar had the smallest beer bottles I'd ever seen, 7-oz bottles. I don't know if they were a promotion or something they normally carry, but we had to buy those since we'd never seen anything like it before. (In retrospect that probably made our beer very expensive. :) )

Our bartender told us that she couldn't remember the name of the one in the middle but that the other one was named "Hotel California". She said that only one of the three bars ever seems to be in business at any given time, and that she has worked at each of them. Chevy's is basically what you'd expect from the only dive bar in a rural town. Domestic beers, stiff drinks, and your basic bar food/snacks. Our bartender was pretty cool and made the visit enjoyable.

They have the BEST Bloody Marys I've tasted outside of New Orleans. I'm not much on bars but this joint was fun from the get go. It's definitely a local joint but the atmosphere is very relaxed and not at all unfriendly. Nothing fancy, nothing pretentious. Seems like a come as you are, but come respectful. I'll definitely return. Just as an FYI they do not take credit cards but do have an ATM machine handy.

This place is more bar than grill, but it's still fun! It is small. The exterior looks like a…read moretrailer. However, the interior has pool tables, shuffleboard, darts, and a jukebox. They also have WiFi on request. The menu selection is not soul food. It is an assortment of popular dishes that can typically be found in bars. The drink menu is non-existent, but the drinks are plenty. One can speculate that the hard working farmers and cowboys who might drop in simply don't need fruity drinks... Liquor is minimally mixed. I ordered jalapeno poppers and fried mushrooms. Both were tasty, especially with the ranch dressing provided. The staff appear friendly. The bartender was helpful, but she did not have a bubbly and chipper disposition. This was perfectly fine for me. Karaoke is Friday nights, but I visited on a Thursday. This night wasn't one of the extras, unfortunately. All in all, this place is one I intend to visit time and time again. I'm glad such a gem exists in such a remote region.

The burgers are fresh Pattie's and the flavor is beyond good. The biggest issue is that it is a bar, in a small town, therefore smoking is allowed inside.
