    Shrimp cocktail
    Lan L.

    Ate here out of convenience. Felt like an upscale Perkins with the decor and one server running the entire restaurant. Our server was nice but slow. Red wine she recommended was not full bodied as I preferred and was not very tasty. Ordered the cream of mushroom and chicken wild rice soup. Very standard, nothing amazing but hit the spot. Had the shrimp cocktail and the sauce was sort of chunky though the shrimp was big and plump. Pork chop dish came before the salad which was odd. So when the salad came out after we had the pork chops, we didn't eat much of it. The steak was very chewy so that didn't help. If you like mediocre food, then go at it. But I wouldn't be back unless it's out of convenience again.

    The service was great. Food tasted microwaved. Fish was mushy, rice had no flavor, green beans were good with lemon on them. Nice staff.

    Service was excellent and my steak salad was so good!! I'll be back for breakfast!!!

    Walleye coated with Panko crumbs, rice pilaf, and mixed vegetables. Delicious!

    I ate here last Friday night, because I was waiting for my wife to fly in, and it was a very handy location. I ordered the walleye and it was delicious! It came with rice pilaf and mixed vegetables, and it was quite feeling. I received two large pieces of well I sautéed with Panko crumbs, and it was not greasy at all. The waitress was very friendly, and I really enjoyed the meal.

    French dip (do not pay attention to the thumb prints in the bread.)

    Full disclosure: I don't do well with scary experiences. That said, I really enjoyed this one! It…read morewas the perfect amount of scary (really good jump scares, creepy characters, but nothing too aggressive or violent). The staging in the entrance area was really good! Lots of little photo opportunities and a bar, which was thoroughly decorated and was playing classic horror movies! Although the wait to get in was a little longer than expected, the actual experience itself was fun! It was kind of a maze, but nothing too challenging. The staging in each room was really good--a lot better than expected! There were jump scares throughout and a cute photo opportunity at the very end. My biggest gripe with this experience is that it was a little short, especially compared to how long we had to wait to get in.

My tickets were for 8, but I didn't get to go in until 9 because the line was slow. We did get to see two showings of an aerialist in line, which did help make it a bit more bearable. However, you figure out that the line is so slow because they do a good job of keeping each group small and spaced out, allowing you to enjoy the haunted house at your own pace. The house was actually a well decorated maze, so it was a puzzle trying to figure out where to go. The actors cannot touch you, but there was a good amount of jump scares. We ended up taking 20-25 minutes to go through the maze. There were also a couple photo opportunities inside. We exited into a gift shop and went to the bar which had a drag show (i think this was a special and isn't a regular occurrence, so it was a nice surprise). i also love that there were lots of photo ops outside. I didn't pay for my tickets and $40 sounds a little steep but it was fun, and I'm seeing some discounts available for specific dates and MEA weekend, so I would say it's worth it if you find a discount day!

I stopped by for dinner on a Tuesday and it was pleasantly busy. My server Addison was right there to answer questions about the menu. I (of course) ordered the Reuben and three sides. I expected the sides to be small and I was surprised at how large they were. And they all were outstanding. The onion rings were large, thick, and crispy. A side order has about a dozen rings. The crock of mac & cheese has a delightful kick and when I asked Addison about it she said they make it with their queso. The bowl of Cowboy beans also has a kick and a nice smokiness. While I was eating, both managers - Amy and Jeff - stopped by to see how I was enjoying my meal, which was nice. Finally, the Reuben. I was pleased to see the corned beef was shredded but unfortunately it was very dry and tough. I wanted to cut one half into two pieces but I couldn't with my table knife. The flavor was good, the marble rye nicely grilled. It could have used a LOT more sauerkraut because the meat:kraut ratio was meat heavy. Overall a delicious meal but next time I'll try one of their burgers.

It's definitely a bit dark inside but it fits the mood of a typical bar. I never come here for the bar-life atmosphere, so I won't comment on that but I do enjoy the food they serve for happy hour. I ordered the wings, cheese curds and fried pickles, and all hit the spot when you're craving something fried and salty. I would say I prefer these wings over buffalo wild wings, although the sauce options are a bit limited. Cheese curds and fried pickles aren't amazing but again, they are pretty standard and

The inside is beautiful and made for a really nice dining experience. We started with the Eichten's cheese curds, and they were excellent. They were soft on the inside, some had a great cheese pull, and the spicy dipping sauce paired really well with them. I ordered the Flat Iron Frites. The steak was seasoned well, cooked nicely, and didn't have much fat, which I appreciated. The fries were crispy and came with house-made ketchup. I usually don't even like ketchup, but this one was actually really good. My partner ordered the deviled eggs as his appetizer, and he enjoyed them so much he finished them in no time. For dessert, we had the Strawberry Shortcake Crème Brûlée, and it was fantastic. I've never had crème brûlée like that before. It was a unique twist on a classic dessert and ended the meal perfectly. The only small downside was that the complimentary water tasted clean and fresh. But it was warm instead of cold. Overall, the food, atmosphere, and service made for a great experience, and I'd happily return. Glad i was able to cross this one off of my list.

    Visited during bingo night, and wow--it was packed and very loud. If you're looking for a quiet…read moredinner, keep that in mind. I ordered the Birria Pizza. The birria beef was flavorful, but there was a little too much avocado crema for my taste, and the consommé didn't have much flavor, which was disappointing since that's usually one of the best parts of a birria dish. My mother-in-law ordered a rice bowl and said it was huge but had way too much rice compared to everything else. My partner had the Alfredo, and that was probably the favorite at our table. It was creamy, tasted great, and I liked that they used cavatappi pasta instead of the usual fettuccine. We skipped appetizers and dessert this time. Overall, the food was decent but didn't really wow me. I'd give it about 3 out of 5 stars. The Alfredo was a pleasant surprise, but the loud atmosphere and a few misses with the food would make me think twice before coming back during a busy event.

The staff here was very friendly as well as the guests and the food. Food prices were pretty fair the drink prices were a little Sky High for what they were. Wait times were not bad at all and I do love the amount of interaction that is involved with the store with all the games that are also featured here too. My one big gripe about this place is that the games itself are overly expensive and I understand that they give you "bonus credits" for what you spend when you initially get your card. I only put $10 in but I only played a few games since that's all that I could afford. Mainly I just enjoy playing all the pinball games which I was sucker for. It's got a great sports bar atmosphere but expect to possibly spend about $80-$100 if you're coming here with friends . It's a fun time but it's enough to break the wallet a bit
