Local small town bar with a decent drink selections compared to other small town bars…read more We came in as a group of 7, having called ahead. They put a table together for us on arrival, as it wasn't yet prepped. The place was hopping but not completely slammed. We were given slips of paper and a quick run down on the Wednesdays night steak special. Mark your desired stesk temp, add your name & number, pass over the attached drink ticket for the included domestic beer or well drink. Wait staff was upbeat and friendly. Though service wasn't super speedy, it was accurate. Additional drinks were provided before we were empty. The ribeye was cooked correctly and well-seasoned. We were provided baked potatoes and access to the other sides- baked beans (excellent tri-bean recipe), macaroni salad (I skipped it) & corn. There were also condiments and sauces at the station. Restaurant was not reduced capacity, no masks, no sanitizer & patrons shared serving utensils. I'd say 3.5 stars overall. The price was reasonable and food was good. Drinks got stronger as the day went by. Server took a group pic as well, without us having to ask... that was awesome.

When the steak is done, you head to the side-serving table where you get your baked potato (butter, sour cream, sal, pepper, heinz 57 & A1 are available here) and self-serve up the remaining sides of home-made calico baked beans, macaroni salad & veggies. If you go away hungry, you only have yourself to blame. The steak was cooked as ordered. Service was good though not speedy. There were 7 of us &we tend not to rush, so, it worked well. It was a good value and I'd go back. I would also pile on more beans and skip the macaroni salad next time.

These are smash burgers, so, if you see "double patty" or if it looks overwhelming, it's not as intense as it may sound. That being said, these burgers are hearty and flavorful The fries are made in-house. If you are familiar with in-n-out fries, they are very similar. You can order fries with garlic Parmesan on top or Cajun seasoning. They also have homemade chips (potato chips) that pair really well with your beer and burger. There are a variety of dipping sauces like jalapeño ranch and beer cheese that are worth ordering This spot also specializes in beers. There's a digital menu that provides a beer list, prices, styles, origins, etc. This list also shows which beers are most popular When you're finished eat, take a stroll through lovely downtown Watford City Some tips: You can ask your server for a taste or a beer you want to try before making your decision. And if you want to try a variety of beers they have pre-built flights or custom flights to choose from. The burgers don't come with a side of fries, so, consider ordering a couple fries or chips for the table to share Cheers!!

After hauling condensate oil in the 92° heat for 17 hours, (without AC) all I wanted was a shower…read more I arrive at 8:40 PM, fuel up over $500 worth, and am more than ready to take a shower. After I paid for the fuel and asked for a shower, I was told by Coltin that the showers closed at 9pm, which I knew, hence why I changed my entire route to get there in plenty of time to shower at 8:40pm. He told me he did not have time to clean the shower because by the time that he cleaned the shower, it would be 9pm. There were 3 other employees working. One of which was outside sweeping the parking lot. Without the oil industry, Van Hook wouldn't even be on the map. I remember when there was a time that this place was unmatched in their customer service where they would let me take a shower, even if there were only five minutes for them left to be open because they knew how hard we worked. Sad that Coltin changed the entire view of this place for me after working in the Oil Industry for over 11 years. Do better, Van Hook. No wonder there are 3.2 stars out of five total reviews. What a shame.

The bartender was pretty much the only one handling a crowd of 20-30, and kept up admirably. Drinks were good, and delivered quickly. She checked in on us often and was fun, friendly, and effecient. We ordered some food and had very mixed results there. My wife got the chicken wrap. It was basic, but was pretty good. The chicken was a little dry, but OK. I got a Black and Bleu Burger. The bacon and cheese were good, but the burger was significantly overcooked and dry. Fries were good. Others in our group got nachos, wings, and pizza. The pizza is the pre-made variety, but it was a hit, and the wings seemed to be popular as well. The nachos looked good and came with a lot of jalapenos and salsa and sour cream. Great place to hang out, but the food could use some improvement in my opnion. Definitely stop for drinks and fun.
