She explained Covid and mis management contributed to the lack luster reviews, but she is striving to turn this place around. First, there's 2 sides to the restaurant with a kitchen in the middle. We walked in on the log cabin looking side, which has a few tables and not much room. That's the side that had most vehicles parked. Only to learn that the longer side of building, is considered the "bar" side. We walked around, and a much larger dining room, with pool tables, TV screens, and a bar. They are anticipating finally being able to serve beer, wine and full bar before the end of Feb 2024...until then, soda pops and ice tea, coffee and hot tea. Alcohol will be available on both sides. All you can eat Fish Fry Friday, $14.99. 3 large pieces of fish(pollock), choice of coleslaw, apple sauce, cottage cheese or side salad. Also choice of potato: battered dip, bake potato, sweet potato. The fish is Pollock and you can choose: "dry"- crunchy, "wet" which is battered dipped, baked or Cajon. We tried the wet and dry, and liked both! The coleslaw had mandarin oranges and carrots, the side salad is what you'd expect. Waitstaff was hustling, trying to ensure no delays in serving. Definitely need to come back to try their breakfast and other menu items. Sounds like they are going to have entertainment on weekends, maybe Battle of the Bands, and "car shows"....stay tuned...and try them out.

The restaurant side had a nice seating area that allowed you to see the entire area with a view of the bar as well. The waitress we had was pleasant and helpful with food guidance. She recommended the pulled pork or pulled brisket plate, which I think I went with the pulled pork. The food was good and the prices seemed very appropriate. The portions were large, so you will not go away hungry. The pulled pork plate came with pulled pork (duh) and mash potatoes. The meat was juicy and the sauces were plentiful. I I would definitely stop there again to have another plate. We commented on how we were surprised the place was slow, which is when the waitress enlightened us to the bowling side being busy.

Delicious. Like a four napkin burger haha. It isn't overly large, although a 12 ounce option is available. It's just bar grilled goodness with shredded lettuce and packed with flavor. The inside reminds me of The Bird in Mt. Pleasant. The waitress was great, refilled drinks without asking and it was busy but not packed around 3 on a weekday.
