I went here for mother's day. This was our first time here. Cute little place. We parked around the…read moreback and sat on the patio. Right out of the gate I was disappointed with slow service. There were two waitresses in our area and it was clear ours was not as serious about their job as the other. We waited long enough after being seated to start to wonder id we had been forgotten. Two other tables (seated after us by the other waitress) had been seated and got drinks before our someone came to our table. When I did get my water it had plastic wrap in it. The other waitress took it from us to get a new one. No sorry, nothing. Acted like nothing happened. Our waitress delivered the new one 10 solid minutes later. It was Not super busy at this time. Why so long? And again no acknowledgement of the plastic.. couldnt get myself to drink anything else with worry of contamination of the ice box. Order the california chicken sandwich and brussel sprouts. My mother had the smash burger. She seemed to enjoy it though both sandwiches were stacked super tall and mine had two huge thick red o ions on it. A bit overpowering but mine was good after that was removed. Brussel sprouts were significantly salty. Wasnt able to get through them. My mom got the fries and tho were standard. She also got a bloody mary. It was alright she seemed to enjoy it. Waitress was a little sarcastic with us for no reason and the plastic and just overall service was unfortunate. It was enough to leave a bad taste in my mouth and I dont plan to return.

OMG - GOOD BARBEQUE!…read more We were hunting for a place for lunch in Dixon, and my wife suggested this place. Good suggestion. I ordered their Pit Smoked Pork Sandwich, with the optional more expensive Truffle Fries. Let me start with the sandwich - oh, was it soooo good. Hot, tender, and the BBQ sauce was outstanding! The Truffle Fries were nothing to trifle about (excuse the pun). They were well-seasoned, tasted great, and were nice, hot and fresh. My wife had their Texas Cheesesteak Sandwich, again with the Truffle Fries. She really enjoyed her sandwich - she said it was very tasty. We went with non-alcoholic drinks since I had to go back to work. The Root Beer was good, and she really liked here iced tea. While we were there, I grabbed a piece of their cheesecake, which wasn't as good as their Pit Smoked Pork Sandwich, but hit the spot. Service was attentive and helpful. I liked the decor in the place - just enough to catch your eyes, not enough to get lost in the background. Two large screen TVs over the bar show different events (in this case, golf and something else) and the bar back looked clean. The rest rooms (at least the men's room) was very clean, smelled clean, and worked properly. This can be a problem in bars, they clearly have the right standards.

The menu showed 4 tacos, the menu said you get 3 and what I got were two slightly stale shells wrapped in tin foil with my entree. The service was good, but In my opinion the food was just average.

The atmosphere is casual, but for what we paid ($108 for 4 people and 1 appetizer) seems like a lot for what it is.

This little joint is hands down the coolest bar I have ever been to. It is unassuming on the outside, but you step in and it is a technicolor wonderland of nostalgic pieces and new art. There is an extensive craft drink list, and the two I had were expertly made. Even better...both were sub $10!! It is super clean, and you can tell that they take pride in their blue heaven. Walk past the genderless bathrooms and there is a separate room (with its own music) where karaoke is held on Saturday nights. There are coloring sheets and even a merch section made from the lost and found. Craft drinks, great decor, good music, and a DOG! Congrats to Levi (owner) and Lady (Corgi) for creating the vibes. It is nothing short of epic.

When you walk in, you get a kind of sports bar / restaurant vibe. We were greeted and seated quickly, and started looking at the menu. There were sooooo many good things available - I decided to get their Chicken Fingers and Pulled Pork combo. My wife just got the chicken fingers. We started with an order of cheese curds. There were only two of us, and this was an order big enough for four. We toughed it out - the cheese was mozzrella with a very light batter, kind of tempura. The cheese curds were served with ranch dressing, and were fresh out of the fryer. The main courses came later, and when I saw my plate, I thought - DANG - I should have just ordered this for both of us. It was big enough to feed two people - large portions (full portion) of chicken fingers, full portion (6 ounces) of pulled pork, and a large portion of fries. The chicken fingers came with a creamy sauce for dipping - I liked it, my wife wasn't a fan. No worries, I used hers. Service was very good, the food was excellent, and they kept the glasses full. There is outdoor seating so you can be out looking at the sun, and they even have a shaded section. We'll be back - it was good.
