    a stage with a band on it

    This place was opened when there was a huge snowstorm that halted our road trip and travel plans. Q, one of the staff members was super nice and super helpful answering our questions and sharing information. The mushrooms were so good. Thank you for saving us from the winds and Arctic temperatures. Oh they have live music bands and sorry we didn't stay for it but we were exhausted from driving until our car stopped working right outside of Elkhart IN.

    Great place! Sat in the bar area and received great , prompt service. Waiter was very nice and aware of refill needs as they came. Menu was limited to mainly burgers, a few appetizers & some sides, but there were many options to choose from! Ordered a Mushroom & Swiss Burger...it was Delicious. Also ordered a Roadhouse burger and my hubby says it was one of the best he's had! Side salads were plentiful and tasted really good! Very nice atmosphere and good music to listen to as you eat! Not to mention that tv's to watch sports!

    Good food, full bar, and good service. They have daily specials. They have live entertainment. Bathrooms clean. Family friendly. Best place in Elkhart if you want some fried gods - they have other stuff too but no one touches their fried mozzarella or mushrooms or mojos.

    New menu, hold over items from previous menu

    In town for work and stopped in for dinner. Interesting interior and a super friendly staff. I'll be stopping in again next time I'm in town to sample more of the menu. This time I had the chicken parm stuffed grilled cheese with mojos. My first experience with mojos (thick potato rounds); liked their seasoning, would have liked them crispier. Sandwich had excellent flavor and I took 1/2 because I wanted to try one of the desserts. The fudge brownie was that and the accompanying vanilla ice cream was fantastic. Too many times I have found the ice cream to be lacking, not this time as they used a super premium.

    5Star, not too active at 5:30 on a Saturday night

    Great place for food, beverages, and entertainment. If you havent been yet, you should! The menu is far more creative than a typical bar.

But what ruined the entire experience for me as a first time patron of this particular bar was the rude bartender. She was older with frizzy curly blonde hair. She was out downright rude to me and everyone else the entire night. I had ordered some jager bombs, and she informed Me (in a snippy mannor) that she was out of red bull, but they had blue raspberry red bull. I was rather nice to her for how terribly she was treating me, and said that was fine. The jager bombs come in these little cups with the shot in The middle, and the chaser surrounding it. I paid for the 4 bombs ($19!!) and was satisfied. About 10 minutes later i told my friend about the different type of red bull jager bomb, and offered to buy a round for a few friends. When he inquired about the drinks, she was utterly rude, looked straight at me, and said, "do you see all these dirty cups?! Do you see the line behind you?! I am out of cups and don't have time for this." i don't care how busy you are, you NEVER treat a customer like that. If i am half your age and can manage 8-12 people for 8 hours at a restaurant where we make approximately 200 transactions in an hour and keep my cool, so can you. I will NEVER visit this bar again due to her. That ruined my entire celebration.

It was one of the better restaurant experiences that we've had recently. Located a mile north of the Indiana Toll Road, we found this place based on a search knowing this area was where we wanted to stop for dinner on our traverse to Chicago. It looked like a fun spot from the description and was certainly something different. An additional consideration was that we had our 21-month-old granddaughter and needed a place where we could so find something that appealed to her. Burgers are usually a good bet. The location on Simonton Lake was beautiful. It facilitated a treat before we ever stepped into the restaurant. There was a family of swans on the water with the parents and their six cygnets. They were indeed fun to watch. The lake created a wonderful setting from the outset. Upon entry, we were greeted by the friendly staff and were accommodated with a booth in the main dining room quickly. Our waitress, Kayla, attended to us right away and did a terrific job. We were well cared for during our visit. The food was delivered in a timely fashion without undue delay. We started with an order of Onion Rings, which turned out to be a great choice. They were crispy with flavorful breading that was not so thick as to be overwhelming. We also tried a couple of cocktails. While we like a glass of wine with our meal, we're not really cocktail people. But these intrigued us. I tried the Peach Sangria, which was very good. My wife had the Jameson Ginger Sparkler. Jameson and Ginger Ale has been a favorite of hers since we experienced the Jameson Factory tour in Dublin several years ago. This concoction was a nice take on that theme. Both drinks were "dangerous" because they were so tasty that you didn't notice they contained alcohol. In spite of the fact that this is primarily a burger pub, we found two salads that intrigued us for our mains. One was actually in keeping with the theme of the restaurant, as my wife had the Flippin Burger Salad. As the name suggests, it featured burger on greens with her choice of honey mustard dressing. She shared that with our granddaughter. They were both happy with the choice. I had the Flippin Whitefish Salad. The fish was nicely done and it seemed appropriate since we were by the lakeshore. I found it to be quite satisfying with the raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Unfortunately, they no longer make their Mango Chardonnay Dressing that used to accompany this salad. I've never had the chance to try it but it sounds like they should consider bringing it back. The total for our meals with food, drinks, tax and tip was $68. At $34 each as well as having enough to feed a toddler, we were very happy with this given the experience. We'll look forward to a return visit now that we know this place is there.

All the drinks are handmade, everything from the mixers to some of the liquors are made in-house. Each drink has 2 ounces of liquor in it, yet you will only pay $6-12 for a custom drink. One of my favorites here is the Whisky Slushie, it's no longer on the menu but you can request one! There are drink specials each night as well. The owner, Jamie, can always be found behind the bar mixing and serving up drinks. This place gets PACKED on a weekend night after 9pm, usually it is standing room only at that point. Since the venue is small but the place is popular, go expecting to stand but with a good chance of snagging a chair or booth as people leave. There is not much room for large crowds. It's definitely an intimate, cozy setting with good tunes, the best mixed drinks in town, and fun people. Food! Yes, the do serve this too. They have a great bibimbap bowl and a few other selections. If you just want some snacks, I highly suggest their hummus and pita plate or their chips and dip. Homemade and delicious!
