Well-versed on the menu and a very pleasant lady. It's certainly not a fancy place and it looks like it's been around for a while, but it's the kind of place where you might like to hang out at the bar. Everyone there seems to be friendly and you get that comfortable feeling. We had a variety of food items, some better than others but nothing below average. Really good salads, as you can see by the pictures, a nice job on the chicken wings, a BLT that was pretty tasty; the butternut squash soup was OK, pretty thick and not hot at all. One was returned to the kitchen to be heated up. There was a chicken dip that really didn't hit the spot, and the tortilla chips that came with it seem to be past their prime. As for the fried mushrooms. I found them pretty much ordinary. A nice surprise were the brussels sprouts with balsamic and goat cheese. Really really good. Overall, I would give the food about a 3 1/2 stars at the service five stars so what averages out around four stars. Like I said it looks like a nice place to hang around and have a couple of beverages and a little something to eat.

There are multiple rooms, upstairs and downstairs areas, plus a huge outdoor space with a stage. The place was absolutely packed for the soccer game, and the atmosphere was incredible.

Definitely a fun spot to watch a game or hang out with friends!

We arrived at 5:30 and it was packed, but a table opened for us within two minutes. The ambiance was awesome, with each table having its own miniTV! Guests didn't have to choose between watching Wimbledon or the World Cup (or anything else they chose). Such a clever idea and probably great for entertaining kids, too. The server was prompt and friendly, and we got our drinks and app ordered immediately. We split the corn dog as an appetizer (felt right for 4th of July), and my husband declared it was one of the best he ever had. A great ratio of the sweet fried dough and salty hot dog. Definitely a reasonable portion to split as an appetizer and still have room for an entree. We got the tomato and corn salad as a side, which was a nice palate cleanser. I got the bacon cheeseburger (sub a pretzel bun, which you can absolutely do) and my husband got the Van Helsing. Both were excellent. He got regular fries and I got sweet potato fries and a side salad, also fantastic. My meal was exactly what I wanted - a classically delicious cheeseburger (I removed the bacon and put it on my side salad, which I highly recommend). My husband's had perfectly cooked garlic cloves and a nice zest with the jalapeños. They also had a great tap list to go wash everything down! We left stuffed but not feeling like we were going to die. It was a wonderful experience for start to finish and we'll be back!

I got the crispy duck wings (and do not know why I didn't take a picture ) but they were very crispy and very good. They came with 2 sauces, which I did not try because they said they were a bit spicy and I don't like spicy, but they were plenty good on their own. I ordered the One Bad Pig with a side of sweet potato fries and of course had to get an extra side of tator tots because I love them. The burger was very good and juice, hard to eat because it's so big, but I managed to do it. The tots were crispy just like I like them and the fries were your typical sweet potato fries but very good. The service was attentive and good and it seemed to be a local crowd and was a nice vibe. It is off the beaten path so not too touristy but the locals know about it so it gets crowded. I highly recommend this place for a burger if you are wanting one!!

It's not a big place but they have outdoor seating, the night were were there it was chilly so we sat inside in the back dining room. It's got a fun nautical feel with lots of local references on the walls. We started with the local smoked fish spread and the southern favorite of hush puppies. The fish spread had great flavor and came with the usual saltine crackers, hot sauce and jalepanos. The hush puppies were hot and full of cornbread flavor. I always hope that the usual saltine crackers don't show up with the fish spread but it seems to be a tradition. I ordered the Ahi Tuna tacos and WOW these might be the best I've ever had and I have ordered these all over the country. The amount of Ahi tuna was unexpected and a ton. There wasn't a lot of others ingredients on the tacos so the taste of the tuna was really the main taste and man was it good. My wife ordered the Mahi Taco bowl and was super happy with it as well. It consisted of blackened Mahi topped with Cheddar Jack Cheese, Mango Salsa, Remoulade Sauce, on a bed of Black Beans and Rice. I didn't try it in the restaurant but she brought it home with us and I had her leftovers the next day and they were great. I'm a craft beer guy and my only complaint was they didn't have a big selection of local craft beer. We'll definitely go back and try a few more of the dishes.
