I was happy. It was Foggy Geezer, which is actually really good. Our waitress was nice and there was a good size crowd in here on a nice Sunday for lunch. I ordered the pulled pork hoagie and a side salad. It was a good size salad, they didn't have Caesar dressing, so I went with the blue cheese. The pulled pork was okay, a little sweet, but the roll was really good and it was filling. This place is worth a visit, if only because there are not a ton of restaurants around Miltona. I llked Chet's a little more, but I am glad I tried this place out. They do have a nice outdoor stage I remember and has live music at times.

It gives off the vibe of a sports bar but also a place to sit and have a casual meal. The fried pickles came out hot and crispy and they were wonderful! Even after sitting and munching on them after 5 minutes the ones that were still in the basket were still warm. The PB+J burger was amazing! It has a nice little kick with every bite you took. It had the perfect amount of spicy that wasn't too overwhelming. The BBQ wings were also very good! Cooked to perfection and had the perfect amount of sauce on them. The cheese balls were really good but had too much cheese in each bite you took. The cheese balls were also much larger than what we were thinking they were going to be. Roughly the size of a golf ball. The service was splendid. There was one waiter and bartender working while we ate but you wouldn't have guessed that by how fast our drinks and food came out. Our waiter was very attentive and checked in on us, while waiting on every other table in the building. If you are passing through town this is definitely a place to try out!

They're knowledgeable of their beers (which is an impressive selection for the area) and are always happy to share their knowledge of the area. This spot is definitely a stop when I'm in the area.

Yelp! didn't let me down. Now to be clear - this isn't a place where you'll get gourmet burgers. You'll get a burger the way God intended....fried, a little greasy, on a toasted bun and snuggled up with some hot fries or crispy onion rings. Nothing fancy, nothing healthy and absolutely no regrets. To top it off the malts are excellent (made by hand with REAL ice cream) and the staff is friendly and helpful. Loved it!

The chef had 2 fingers of tobacco going while cooking which made it so my son wouldn't eat!!!! The food was good tho -we got it to go- had planned to stay for ice cream but opted for DQ down the road. I don't recommend stopping not worth it. I don't know how they stay in biz.

I split the grilled cheese and then had the buffalo wings. The buffalo sauce was on point from a flavor a heat perspective. And the homemade ranch - heck yeah! Perfect combo!

And we've stopped in almost every since! I first tried the cherry dip cone served with a side of crunch. Nostalgic bliss. My hubby had a shake and loved it. Creamy and delicious.. We stopped back in for Cyclones last night.. thick and loaded with ingredients. Today was my favorite.. amazing rootbeer float. The large was the perfect size to accomodate the incredible chili cheese coney and onion rings. The Nathan's hot dog was a fabulous choice, and the chili was lovely. Thick, sweet, and just spicy enough. Perfectly seasoned. We can't wait for vacation again next year!

To say it was disappointing that I had to reach down in the cup to get any of that stuff for the first several bites was disappointing. Good thing the ice cream is so creamy and good.

It's really nice inside, but even better was the super friendly service all around! They had the smoker outside and the special was the smoked brisket sandwich. And it was two for one beers, they even split the 'two for one' between us so we could each have just one more of our own beer choice, that was awesome. We started with nachos and agreed that they were one of the best plates of nachos that we've had in awhile. A full place of meaty and cheesy chips and plenty of toppings. Hubby had the smoked brisket sandwich and said the brisket was done very good. Our son had the Lumberjack Burger that he loved, he loves anything that has maple syrup on it! It was a big burger so he took half of it home and ate it later. I had the jalapeño popper burger, I wasn't sure if the name meant that it would have deep fried jalapeños on it and I'm so glad it didn't. My burger came out with a slice of pepper Jack cheese on it that was still cold except for the edges, but they took it back and warmed it up with a torch, actually to the point of burning the cheese, weird, but even so I loved this burger! It had slices of jalapeños and plenty of cream cheese, it was very good, (it actually didn't even need the pepper Jack cheese slice and not sure where that flavor fit in) then I asked for a side of the spicy berry sauce that they serve with the wonton appetizer and it was complete!! Highly recommend that they add this to the burger, or that you request it. Enjoy!

Plenty of TVs tuned to sports and the FOX network. It has the TouchTunes jukebox so those who like to play music on that app will be happy. Many small-town bar & grills use that app/jukebox system. The service was very good with only one waitress and cook running the show. About 15 minutes from order to delivery. I just had a basic cheeseburger and fries. This is a burger joint no frills. The burger was very good sized, and the fries were ok. The meal was certainly worth the $10 value. One drawback is stairs to get up to the dining/bar area. Other than that, a good place to have a quick burger and fries. Beats the Burger King across the street.
