    Cute lights
    Holly P.

    Small mom and pop tavern with burgers and wings. Service was fast and friendly. Food came hot and quick. Lots of beer options and cocktails. Seating area is comfortable with lots of sports on TVs.

    This place was an awesome night to watch sports and chat with some great people. Food was great and alcohol was amazing. Give this great service a try.

    Sloppy joe and chili verde!  Yummm

    Stopped late night to get our road food while driving from Reno to Missouri! Quite the 3 day trek with u haul and cats in town. This was the perfect spot to recharge, stretch and get some decent food in us. Tried the sloppy bison and chili! It was the perfect mix to split between too of us. Needed some protein to keep us going but not too much to want to go to food coma. Especially with the ice conditions, light snow and wind on overpass. The service between the bartenders and chef was attentive, timely and good ( to eat). Highly recommended as a easy stop for booze, warmth and food!

    Love the chili Verde

    I stop at Lincoln Highway every time on my way back/to Sturgis motorcycle rally from California. I actually like this place so much that during my last 2024 trip to Sturgis, I decided to stay overnight in Evanston instead of some random place in Utah so I could have a more formal/longer dinner at the tavern! I just love the vibe, fair prices, the staff and the owner. They also offer a large selection of local whiskies. They provide more than decent bar food, a huge plus for the Saturday cook and his shishito peppers. He knows what he is doing. The new kitchen manager makes a killer chili verde and also regular chili. A Must try. Burgers are generous and juicy. The ranch has a little twist. Try it! Highly recommended!

    Pig dipper sandwich

    Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon right about the time they opened and the place really did fill up quickly. Service was a little slow with only one server but she was busy. I was really excited to try the pork sandwich with rosemary au jus but I was really disappointed when the sandwich came out with very little, and very dry pork. The au jus was rosemary flavored oil and not at all what I'd describe as au jus. The French fries were definitely the best part of the meal and very tasty. A great dive bar but I'd probably just stick to the drinks and maybe appetizers on a return visit.

    Great place French fries are amazing brats tasty! Never judge a book by its cover (outside) but if you are in the area you must stop!

    Great food, French fries are amazing, brats are tasty, be sure to get the fireball onions with your brat! You must stop if you are in the area. Never judge a book by its cover !

    Wow! I'm socked by this place. This is now in my top 5 burgers and thats from all over the US. They make their own ranch and it's honestly incredible. Highly recommend just a simple cheeseburger, the the fixins. Even the fries impressed us and I don't like fries. Get the ranch dressing!

    The service was very slow. When the food finally came, it was mediocre at best. We spent 90 minutes there for below average food.

    They sat us in a corner and forgot about us: had to remind them for another beer and even to get our check. Food was ok.

    This a cool neighborhood bar! Nothing fancy but great spot with outdoor seating too. We came for…read morea soccer game a few weeks ago and learned the place has some history behind it too. The service was quick and attentive. My husband had a few beers which he said were good. I didn't feel like drinking but I did have cheese fries and the fried cauliflower. The cheese fries were with a yummy cheese sauce-the old school yellow Velveeta-like kind, so good. The cauliflower was delicious-perfectly seasoned with the buffalo sauce. They had live music in the back when we were here but we stayed inside to watch the game.

    I'm so thankful they allow families in to eat and that we found this spot in Yelp!…read more It's a sports bar/restaurant that also has live entertainment on Friday's and I bet would be a lot of fun! It has this old world feel to it, like it's been around since the 1900's. Although it isn't that old. Several TV's available to watch sports. Pub food at its finest. I enjoyed my Club Sammy - it was filled with meat and I could barely get through half of it! The fries- superb! Best fries I've had in a long time. My husband had the Reuben bread was nice and fresh, thought the sandwich was good but could use more meat. He really liked the fried cheese curds as a side. Kiddo had the hot dog with cheese fries. Service was good. There was no available parking in front, but we found a spot in the back and walked in through through the back door.

    Wonderful spot with wonderful food! Would highly recommend. The view alone is worth a stop in!…read more Staff was super friendly our servers Devin, Matana, and the manager Scott all made us feel right at home with some great food recommendations. Stroganoff is amazing if you are a fan. My mom had the fried chicken and the fried shrimp were a great start to the meal. Ended with a great oatmeal berry crisp with vanilla ice cream!

    I'm going to start with the biggest factor in a so-so review: The prices…read more Finding the restaurant on Yelp, I noticed that, in addition to the positive reviews, the prices seemed reasonable. They were not; they were actually 50% or more higher at the restaurant. The hamburger that was showing on Yelp for $15 was actually $22. The Steak Frites advertised for $22 were $35. I understand inflation, but this was a gross enough difference that it borders on deception, in my opinion. I also had a bad experience with my food: I ordered a cup of their chili (which they claim is made from scratch, on-site) and it was brought to the table cold. Like, "right out of a can" cold. Kelsi, our fantastic server, returned it to the kitchen where (I presume) they nuked it and brought it back. It was heated, but not very tasty. Flat; under-seasoned; mushy textured. Definitely something I'd never order again. Many reviews say the atmosphere is "loud" but what they mean is, it's "LOUD". We were seated inside, and it was nearly impossible for the three of us to converse. The acoustics are not great. Enough cons; how about some pros? My burger was FANTASTIC! piled high with caramelized onions and pastrami, but beef patty tasted like it'd just come off a charcoal grill. Terrific flavor in every bite. (The parmesan fries were tasty, too, but a little on the soggy side.) My dining partners each had a salad (one 'wedge' and one 'beetroot') and both were well-prepared and generously portioned. And, finally, the staff, the location, the vibe: All really first-rate. I'll probably come back, if I ever recover from the bait'n'switch sticker shock. (But I'll steer clear of the chili and opt to dine on the patio, if that's available!)
