We had the Steak bites with Onions and Mushrooms, side orders of fries, side orders of wings, and Tacos. Food was what you'd expect at a Dive Bar. Everything's affordable, my tab only came out to $38 which shocked me. They have a Jukebox box which you can link to your TouchTunes if you have the app. There's lots of seats inside and out. It seems like it has a lot of regulars. Sam was our bartender for the night. She's very quick witted, multitasks without issue, and engages with all of the customers. Sam was very attentive, and came to clear our table as the empty glasses, and bottles started to pile up. There was another staff member there briefly who wiped the table down for us prior to seating, did not get her name. We went on a Tuesday night, small crowd, temperament was mild. No security presence that night but it doesn't seem like it was necessary for the type of crowd. If you're in the area, it's definitely a solid dive bar to check out. If it was closer to me i'd be a regular. Will keep this place in rotation when I travel back out to that side.

Food is cooked right behind the bar so you can see what's what. Service is as fast as it can be with a pack bar and patio, but always within reason. Prices are Great for we low income peeps. Also the place is always clean and I know they have a professional cleaning crew regularly besides the staff.

I was very excited for the gizzards cause you don't find them a lot anymore. My first couple were fantastic and then they started getting kind of gummy because there was so much breading. I actually peeled a couple of them and had a large pile of breading and little bitty gizzards inside. Service was poor. It took forever for somebody to take my order. I received zero drink refills because they never came back. The servers were extremely nice. It's just they never came back to my table. I may or may not go back. It was not a bad experience, but it wasn't good either.

The food is really good and drinks hit the spot every time, and there's always something going on, whether it's video poker, horse betting, or the occasional poker night and other fun activities. One of the standout features is the large outdoor patio, complete with TVs and heaters, making it a great hangout year-round. That said, it can get pretty packed, and since smoking is allowed out there, the space can fill up with cigarette smoke--which isn't ideal for everyone. Even with that, I genuinely love this place. If I could suggest anything, it'd be adding a separate outdoor area in the back for non-smokers to kick it and bringing back karaoke nights. That would take an already good spot to the next level!

This room seems to be an extra one they open for occasions. The waitress was sweet, maybe a little dingy, took 3 requests to get Mom a mimosa. When it came, it was bitter champagne at the top and oj at the bottom, and we had to ask for silverware to stir it. (They said they were short on them.) After 25 minutes of freezing we asked if we could be moved out of the room. Momma was turning blue! lol They accommodated us with the only table they had open, near the server's register, but it was a blessing. The food was exceptional but it did take quite awhile to get.

I didn't realize it until I got home and looked at the current menu. I don't know how he mathed, but it should not have been $21.45. Anyhow let's get to the food, the burger was really good the bacon was good and thick, to be honest I thought it would be bigger. The onion rings were crispy and appeared to be home made so 4 stars for the food taste, 3 stars for the price, even if I wasn't over charged it should have been around $18..

It took a while to get my order, but it seemed as if they hired a new worker and were showing him he ropes on how to properly make a good cheesesteak sandwich. The person teaching seemed like he had a passion for the craft of assembling and making the sandwich. But needless to say, he did, because it was pretty fire in my opinion. The beef was delicious! Very well seasoned and accompanied by the onions and swiss cheese, the sandwich was to die for! The peppers worked extremely well, and the roll that they used was super soft and toasted as well. The presentation of the sandwich was simple, but you're able to peer directly in and see all the ingredients inside the sandwich. Beef was tender and each bite was a melty, cheesy, burst of flavor in my mouth.

I ordered one of their burgers and paid an extra $3.00 for 5 onion rings. That's pretty expensive and they weren't that good. The burger looked beautiful on the plate, but one bite and the entire thing fell apart. I then asked for a fork and finished it sans the bun. Not the way to eat a burger. My girl friend's food was a gooey Mac and cheese with charezo cut up on top, felt like it was an afterthought, and maybe it shouldn't be mixed in. Any way, with tip and one glass of house wine the check was close to $60.00. Pretty steep for average food. We won't darken their doorway again.
