Very tender and juicy. On this occasion, some of the fries were a little undercooked, but that was my only complaint. Service is friendly and was reasonably fast, even during the lunch rush. Decor is Florida dive bar themed with an inside/outside bar. Jimmy Buffett would have felt at home here.

The bites for happy hour are also yummy, the chicken buffalo wontons a must try with there homemade ranch sauce I'm sad they took away the poutine, hopefully they will bring it back. Overall great bar for sports or just to hang out at. The outdoor patio allows doggies and it's always a vibe here. Must try!

I was told the order would be ready in 15-20 minutes. When I got there 20 minutes later, the hostess directed me to the bar area to pick up my to-go order. I sat down and waited for the bartender to recognize me. She was cheerful and pleasant. I stated my name and she got my takeout order in minutes. I ordered The Big Dipper (shaved steak, horseradish aioli, melted provolone cheese, crispy onions and Au Jus on the side, served on a very fresh grinder roll). It was delicious! It came with a nice side salad that included tomatoes, red onion, cheese and croutons. I selected bleu cheese for my dressing (placed on the side). I also ordered a Wedge salad for lunch the next day. It was a good size half lettuce head with a sliced boiled egg, bacon bits, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and chunks of bleu cheese. The blue cheese dressing was also on the side. Great meals all-around. It would have been a five-star review if not for the long wait to take my to-go order.

Not in what you would say is the greatest location. Just not in the place you'd think a restaurant would be. That's not a negative just found it interesting. We were seated right away and opted for outside dining. You can see a lake across the street but if parking is full it's kinda blocked. But we really liked the vibe there. Laid back. Had some music going. We enjoyed eating out there. All of our meals were excellent. I got the Buffalo chicken sandwich (yum). We also got the mexi-cal bowl and the fajitas. They both were also yummy. We decided for the s'mores as dessert. We figured they'd bring out already made s'mores. But no. They bring you out the chocolate the marshmallows and the graham crackers and you cook it right there at your table with this mini fire thingy. It was good. The only thing I would have changed is that they brought out the chocolate ice cold so it didn't melt too well. But it was good. The star of our experience was our waiter. He was awesome. Very attentive, always keeping our drinks filled and super friendly. Having a great waiter just puts good meals over the top. Wish I would have grabbed his name so I could give him a shout out here. But he was working the outside tables on Saturday Apollo 18. Great job man. Overall, give this place a shot. Unique dishes that satisfies the taste buds. We'll be back.

Feels somewhat like a small-town diner. The menu has awesome choices, but there's a ton of stuff that is $30+ (several $50+) and I really didn't want to spend that much on lunch. I picked a snapper sandwich with a side caesar & my friend got a shrimp quesadilla. They came out about 10-15 mins later. price seemed a bit high, but i know costs have skyrocketed lately, so them's the breaks. The fish on my sandwich was flavorful - but very dry. Would have been better cooked with some kind of fat. The bread was fluffy & nice, but fell apart right away. The veggies in the sandwich were fresh & bright. The caesar side was amazing. they gave me tartar & ketchup, so i asked for cocktail sauce because ketchup is weird for this. No problem. I didn't even finish half because it was so big! My friend's quesadilla was very tasty, but for some reason, it's an absolute oil slick. So the opposite end of the spectrum lol. She enjoyed it but couldn't finish because it was too greasy. There was a thick layer of oil on the plate and on the quesadilla. The ladies working there are really nice & helpful. They checked on us several times. I paid really fast & they got us out the door in less than 45 minutes! I would love to get some of the fancier stuff sometime, but would probably want to eat it elsewhere, because the diner feel doesn't match how fancy the food is. But overall, great experience with the asterisk being the cooking styles & plain appearance. I thought i got pics but can't find them now, but the presentation was great.

Walking in, I was greeted by a friendly young gentleman. I had placed a to-go order and within minutes, my food was handed to me. I had ordered the grouper with fried rice and vegetable medley and the calamari appetizer. I have to say that both the grouper and calamari were excellent. The fried rice and vegetable medley were also pretty amazing. The prices here are very good. The grouper plate was about twenty-two dollars and the calamari was about eighteen dollars. The quality of the food could definitely rival more expensive restaurants. I will definitely have to return here and I will give it five stars for an incredible meal.
