I got the chicken and waffle and a sausage biscuit with cheese. My friend got 2 eggs with bacon, hash browns, and a waffle. I must note that the water was unfiltered tap water with a strong chemical taste. I was sorely disappointed in the waffle because it was so hard. I could loudly tap on it with my knife, and it was so difficult to cut. It was overly crunchy/crispy, which was unpleasant. The chicken was pretty good though. The sausage biscuit was delicious, but it was smaller than we expected. My meal ended up being around $16, and I was glad that I had a little bit left over to take home.

He recommended the upstairs dinning room if you want it to be romantic evening. Agree 100% when we left you could hardly hear your self talking. They also have a nice outside area which would be nice in spring/summer time. Our waitress was Riley who has been with them for 2 years and was very knowledgeable about the menu. She was spot on the whole night. Had our drinks my wife the Appleton and I had Dewars and soda. Bartender knows their stuff and does not skimp. Appetizers were Risotto Tots, Very good, also to large crab cake with remoulade sauce, excellent. Shrimp scampi was excellent and very filling. They have a very diverse menu for varying appetites. Highly recommend eating at this establishment. 5 stars plus. Keep up the great work.

Came in on a Saturday night to celebrate a promotion. I was hoping it would be more intimate, but…read moredespite there being a few other open tables we were seated back to back to a large party. Since it's a small space and echoey, we could not hear ourselves over the group of people talking. Drinks: We started with the Queen Bee cocktail and a red wine. The cocktail was good but I didn't feel the mixture of flavors worked well for my taste. I can't recall the name of the wine but it was a nice wine to pair with red meat. Appetizers: we started with the fried green tomatoes and the Caesar wedge salad. The tomatoes were a little bland and came out cold (not sure if that was on purpose?). The wedge was good but was slathered in dressing which made it a little too rich. *Side note: I realized after we left that complimentary bread was mentioned on the appetizer menu, but I'm unclear if we had to ask for that...? It was never offered nor brought out. I decided against ordering the French baguette because I assumed there was complimentary bread. Entrees: I had the Ravioli Diablo and my husband tried the Sea Bass special that came with clams, mussels and lobster ravioli. The Ravioli Diablo was just OK, kind of a small portion. For the special, he liked the mussels but thought the sea bass was a little overdone. In hindsight, there was a lot going on with that plate; the ravioli was a bit out of place and it could've used a nice risotto or rice instead. Dessert: we tried ordering Creme brulee but they were out so we ordered the "brown butter" cheesecake instead...I'm including the description from the menu and a picture of the bare cheesecake loaf I received with no toppings (I took the picture after my husband took a bite). I'm actually most disappointed about this since I was hoping it would be the part of the meal to make up for the mediocrity of everything else. "Vanilla bean brown butter with candied pecans and soft whipped cream" Honestly I tried to be optimistic but it was overall not the experience I was hoping for. Especially for a $200 bill.

I'm not sure if they serve breakfast. At one time they were serving breakfast, then they stopped. Service is nice but they can get really busy so patience is key depending on the day.

My hubby who doesn't typically eat onions rings ordered them with his grilled chicken sandwich and can't stop raving about them. The salad could have used a little more green leafs, but the ranch was great. The tea was another great choice. Loved the Chicken fried steak, minus it being put on top of the gravy. I should have asked for it on the side, so my batter wasn't all mushy. Would definitely eat here again. Loved lunch crowd vibes.

We hit just before the lunch rush. Self seating. Our waitress took our drink order and after that came we waited a short spell. She was friendly and answered our questions about the menu. I wasn't very hungry and settled on a chilled cheese dog. My wife, a true southerners, ordered the lunch chicken fried steak. I just don't know if it's the world, our timing or us. But lately we hit places with wonderful reviews and they disappoint in either service or quality. Be warned. You never know if you are getting canned hormel chille or home made. I really hope this was hormel. The hotdogs had the texture of being neither boiled or grilled. So I'm guessing it was microwaved a bit too long as it was tough and chewy. The chicken fried steak edges came out too crispy and inedible although the meaty portion was ok. I notice a lot of the chicken fried stuff came out of the kitchen a bit crispy on the ends. I had to flag someone down for a refill on my tea. They did have great unsweetened tea. Remember. This place is cash or check. Only. I might want to go back on another day and try something else. Seems like everything was rushed but nothing was coming out fast. To their credit, by the time we left, there was a line out the door and the place was packed.

Big building with spacious dining areas, outdoor space, and the pickleball courts of course. There's also an upstairs area that's exclusively for members. The interior and exterior design is exceptional. Very clean and pleasing to the eye. Welcome to All - not just pickleballers! High end liquors with experienced mixologists. Great cocktail list. Wine list was pretty short but had some good bottles on it. Brunch food was good. The breakfast croissant sandwich was hard to handle and fell apart but tasty. The Southern Poutine was hearty and comforting (sausage in lieu of cheese curds) The bartender was exceptional-knowledgeable, engaging, and attentive. Would love to see a broader wine list with greater range. Was disappointed they didn't have the fireplaces on especially since it's been so cold. A nice fireplace would have really elevated the experience by adding a cozy atmosphere. Also, they have a fruit fly problem.

About server was nice and attentive even though we were the only ones outside at first. That said, overall we were nickel and dimed for everything. It really felt like they just want money. If a 14 year old wants to order off the kids menu, they charge an extra $4, but it's not an adult portion, it's the same amount of food they just want you to pay more. It makes me not want to bring kids here. Also, if you're eating and the pickle ball courts are empty, there is no discount for playing pickle ball, and they make sure to tell you that you will be charged while you eat your meal. The courts are empty and they don't have any reservations for them, but they need their money. We were told they would provide paddles and balls, so we didn't get ours from the car, and then we were charged for them. I love eating at great restaurants, but when a restaurant nickels and dimes you..it feels cheap.
