Server told us we could sit wherever which we did and then she promptly brought us menus and took out drink order. We were not in a hurry so when she returned we weren't quite ready she was super friendly about it and returned later to finish taking our order. We ordered personal pizza, tator tots, chicken Philly sandwich and a burger. Pictures attached. Food was hot when served and was very good. We were looking for a place to sit and relax and talk for a while without feeling rushed and this was just the place for that. They had a pool table available as well as a stage area for live music.

I haven't visited many bars in the area, but this strikes me as a nice one. The decor, booth and…read morebar are all very nice. They have a main seating area, a second seating area (which is where bands play when they have a band)and a new patio (I'm not sure they use the patio for seating for dining). We've been 3 times. I had the ribeye twice and thought it was very good. Both times it came out the right temp (medium well for me). I don't know if they use a rub or just season it well but it has a great taste. Also very little excess fat, which is uncommon for ribeyes around here. The baked potato is also cooked right. The other side I've had is a side salad which is just the normal side salad. The other time here I had a pizza on a cauliflower crust which I didn't like at all. I had a friend who highly recommended it, I'm just not used to that kind of crust, I guess. My wife has been getting the fried fish and likes it. She doesn't care for the hush puppies - she says they are too dense. They seem to have a lot of servers for as small of a place as it is. So service is usually pretty good. Last time our server had a couple of tables with friends and spent a lot of time talking with them instead of watching her other tables. It's hard to get good help these days, I guess. I think this is one of the better places to get a steak in the immediate area, and I'd recommend it.
