The parking lot was actually full so we had to park on the side. They had security at the door to search you before entering. It's actually a pretty large open space, with seating, slot machines, a pool table, and a dance floor. The DJ was high energy and played to the crowd. There were actually quite a few menu options and we went with the fried cauliflower bites and chicken wings and shrimp. The food was ok. It looked good - but wasn't seasoned. Overall, not a bad spot to try if you're in the area.

We were looking for a bar atmosphere to sit and just hang. Bartender was friendly and gave us the…read morelow down on food and specials and they also have frozen drinks. The bar stools we were told were recently changed-the old ones were worse- and they can use another improvement. They are still too short for the bar if you eat there. Your elbows are up to your shoulders when eating, do yourself a favor and go to a table. Other than that, the inside was nice and the music was good. The sign is off to the side so keep going past the Subway and you will find it. There was also the dreaded liquor meter. Some nights I think there is a cover. We ordered the catfish and chicken wing basket that came with fries. The fries were good and crispy. The chicken was good and was seasoned. I was not a fan of the coating but it was okay. The fish I did not get into much as the coating was not for me. They did offer sauces on the side or on the food and that was good. My friend had the garlic parmesan which he liked, i had the buffalo hot sauce.

The catfish is incredibly good. My 99 year old mother made this a staple of her diet on Fridays.read more

After sitting at the bar for 15 minutes without being served, we left. We observed him eating at the end of the bar talking to a friend. Went to another establishment and found out the bartender on duty at 6:30 pm is known to be less than attentive. He must be related to someone who works there. He is the only male bartender that works there Not interested in returning during his shifts. On a positive note, we did go a few weeks ago and met bartender MJ. She is awesome - friendly and attentive. Enjoyed meeting her.

Thank you to the Chef for cooking the cheddar into the eggs as opposed to melting it on top of the eggs.

I'd order it medium well at most. Dining guest still loves the potatoes. Catfish and grits - Dining guest was in love! I think that the shrimp was an add on and I'm going to try this.

They tell us we have to move up out of our seats because people have made reservations. For the bar which is sooo far from the truth. The reservations are made for the tables only..!!! The advised 1 of the young men that he could go outside & sit on the patio .. AFTER spending his money. This is not a rule. They really showed they true colors today. It was more people @ the bar they never told them to move only us. TERRIBLE BUSSINESS!!!! Now I've been going here for 10 years. Food & the vibe is good, but today They really DID A BIG 1 .. to try & make us move.. NEVER GO HERE !! I'll watch the bears somewhere else.

There's a ton to choose from at pretty good prices, and there's also a small but good food menu. Came in recently and we got a few drinks and food. It wasn't that busy and we were one of the few inside the last time here. There's also a patio you have to walk through to get inside. It's about $7 for a cocktail. Most of these are made with whiskey. I liked the Oak Old Fashioned. This is Bullett Rye with aromatic and orange bitters, Fever Tree seltzer, and a sugar cube to top it off. Also we had the Pretzels And Dip. It's $7 for a few. This comes with a choice of cheese or mustard. It seemed like the prices were cheap. They could have charged a lot more and people wouldn't have thought anything of this. Good drinks and food. It also has good prices. The selection and quality of the whiskeys along with the food makes it a value.

It's missing in this batch. This is a very rare experience.

Now that I think of it, I thought it was weird that there were several fans going all over the bar...water issues? Anyway, after eating our pizza, we left and caught the owner, Phil, on the way out. We told him the pizza was good and that maybe he needs to mention that soft drink refills are not free. I know it's not a big deal, but I just assumed at a place that presents itself as an upscale bar, with a "chef", that would be the case. Oh well, I paid over $8 for 3 ice filled pints of Diet Coke. I'm just saying it would have been nice to have been told that by the bartender. Then this guy goes on about he can't do that and that he has free music so that should be enough and he'd go broke if he gave away free refills of Coke! He was all huffy at that point and I have no idea what he was talking about. So to calm the situation I asked him about his live music and began to tell him that I am trying to rebrand the hall at our local VFW and he cuts me off to snap at me, "Good luck with that! Try to get 25 people in that place! Ha! Ha! Ha!" as he turned and was walking away from me. I was in udder shock! What?! It's the local VFW Hall and I'm trying to help out our veterans?! My entire point was before he cut me off, the hall holds way more people than his little, bitty place and I wanted to offer the hall so he can book larger acts. Oh well! His loss! Not really sure what this guy's deal is but it seems like my experience is a common one with him! Read the other reviews! Wow! In this day and age an owner shouldn't treat customers like this. Especially after they just spent good money in his place. SMH. Never again! Plenty of other options in the area to spend my money.
