The combo of smoked & grilled = perfection. The brisket cheesesteak was massive & brisket is full of flavor. The atmosphere Is what you expect from a classic bbq spot. We had a great experience & the quality & prices are on point.

The owners give back to the community through many fun activities. There is something going on almost every night: free bar bingo: BANGO for food/drink prizes; horseshoes, cards, painting classes, trivia, music, and so on. Despite the fact that it is a bar, families can come to eat and we sometimes bring grandchildren with us to have a meal. This bar and grill has a BIG presence in this teeny town.

You can get it with shrimp with cajun seasoning. it also comes with garlic bread. The staff, at the bar, was very helpful and friendly.

Only have had pizza and wings and both are in my top ranking. 3 bone wings that are cooked right (dry rub Cajun) and paired with good buffalo sauce. Pizza toppings are quality and the thin crust is crispy. Great work. The service has always been solid tho I can only speak about being there for lunch. Patrons are nothing I wouldn't expect for a biker leaning bar and home for locals. I see many of the same people there. As the place fills up you'll feel a union vibe and very blue collar. If you can take the white gloves off for a minute and relax, you'll enjoy.

There were booths, tables, and bar seating - a variety that will work for small to big parties. There was an additional dining room for busier times and the parking lot was large enough to accommodate. Our server was so sweet and seemed to know a lot of people that were dining in her section so there's gotta be a good regular crowd (which is usually a promising sign). If the locals like it, it's probably worth a stop! Our friends that live nearby got breakfast plates. They said they come in often and the breakfast is always a hit. They also recommend the "build your own" old fashioned sandwich for dinner. I had the BLT on marble rye bread - perfectly toasted, the bacon was the right amount of crispy, the toppings were fresh. The tater tots (crispy, not super greasy) were a hit with the entire table, everyone kept nibbling on them even after they were full. Our meals were priced well for the amount of food per dish which is a big plus nowadays. They also have a good Bloody Mary to cure those Sunday blues! We will definitely be coming back again.

The first TWO visits we were served The California Burger. That must have been a mistake as the Third Tuesday we went there we were told "It's only a Cheeseburger, Fries, and a beer or soft drink" . Any lettuce,onion,etc was .50 extra per topping. We were surprised and confused by this information. Apparently we 'Offended and HARASSED THE WAIT STAFF' In our subsequent visits SOMEHOW. I learned this April 30,2024 after I ordered a Cheeseburger to go that night which was BLOODY RAW ! Why were we served again and again for over two months without hearing a word about these over-the-top allegations? I will never understand or know as we were UNINVITED TO EVER RETURN.
