    I met my friends here for dinner a couple weeks ago and the whole experience was really surprising,…read moretbh, but in a good way. One of my friends has been here with his co-workers a few times but I haven't been here before. (Maybe one time many many years ago that I don't remember....) We walk in on a Monday night and there were a few people there. It's a small place so I'm glad we were able to get a table. When we sat down, the bartender, (waitress as well), came right over and took our drink orders and eventually our food orders. I wanted to try their renowned broasted chicken. (A device essentially uses pressure cooking and light frying to create a thin crispy skin and juicy interior). The chicken was some of the best 'fried' chicken that I've ever had, seriously. Super crispy skin and juice inside. Reminds me a little of Korean fried chicken. The texas toast was yummy, the cole slaw was creamy (if you like creamy slaw), and the crispy tots were crispy delicious. My friend got a broasted chicken sammich and he loved it too. (High praise coming from him.) My friends and I have been wanting to go back and get more broasted chicken since we left. On Fridays, they have a 4 piece special for $13.99 that I'll have to take advantage of soon. All in all, this little bar/restaurant has some amazing food that I just didn't expect after driving and running past it for years. Can't wait to go back.

    Great food, reasonable price, and cribbage on Thursdays! Ambiance was nice too! I remember when it…read morewas called the 800 Club, much nicer now.

    Oh man leaving this one hurts me to my core. One of my favorite things about youth basketball is…read moregetting to eat in The Salty Dog on the way. Appetizers to wings it's usually the place for me. Today absolutely crushed that excitement for future visits. We were between youth basketball games and called to order ahead to be efficient and effective for our day but also to experience the great food and service weve come to enjoy. 12 wings and 2 chicken sandwiches. Said we were 15 minutes out. We arrived about 15 minutes after we called just like we discussed. Informed the staff who we were and that we were there. She said no problem and that shed have our order out the moment it was done. We waited for 10-15 minutes and the food arrived. Somehow room temp and fries colder than that. Both sandwiches and the fries and the tots. Cold. My sons wings were at room temp if i round up. We told the waitress she said shed talk to the manager and left and just never ever came back. Another staff member came by and asked how it was. We told her cold and not good. She said shed talk to the manager I said no need im sorry to bring it up but im hangry and we were in a hurry. But it was too late being ghosted by a waitress. She said I just got here but ill talk to them. Then she also just melted into the fabric of the restaurant. We did get to watch her talk to her coworkers and then stare at us in unison. But we were in a hurry So I ate my buffalo ice cold deli meat sandwich but I just couldnt choke down the fries my family ate their meals vulture style picking what they could stomach. This wouldnt be an issue at all if our original waitress had spoken to the manager or even just came back and said sorry? Or hey lets microwave it literally anything. We didnt ask for a discount we didnt yell at anyone.. But she hid from our table chucking deuces and no one spoke to us after that. We ended up paying $63 for a bottom 5 dinner. Just to get to the game on time. Im actually quite sad about this review.
