Around lunch and dinner times, this place is packed, and for good reason. I have eaten here dozens of times, and have never had anything I haven't loved. From fresh soups, salads and sandwiches, to the expected bar food of fried everything and burgers. The buns are from a bakery and the meat is all top quality, locally raised. The owner is a St. Johns native and takes pride in the quality of her business. This is a place people of all ages come to get good food, play pool or watch the game with friends. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.

It's…read moreoff the beaten path but not too far off the highway which is surprising because as soon as you pull in you almost forget you're in lower mid-Michigan. This place gives off major "Up North" vibes! You always kind of worry about how good or bad the food will be when the parking lot is empty but turns out they had just opened and we were some of the first customers of the day. By the time we were finished the parking lot was filling up. Our family of 5 ordered the small meat plate (pulled pork, ribs, brisket), fries, greens, kids chicken tenders, kids cheeseburger, a couple brownie sundae's, and a few beers & pops. We enjoyed all of it. Personally, the brisket was my favorite. There wasn't anything too special about the fries, they were basic, hot, and delicious. The greens were tender and were Carolina style (could taste the apple cider vinegar). No complaints from the kids which is always a good thing. The brownie sundae was huge! We shared and could have easily split just one. Now here are the most "expensive" things that didn't cost any money. As soon as we stepped out of the cars you could smell the cherry wood. Luckily, the smells are free or I would have been broke. Our server didn't seem like she wanted to be there at first (who can blame her, it's work on a beautiful day) but she warmed up to us and we ended up leaving her a nice tip. The food runner was an older lady and she was so charming and even brought out a bowl of water for our dog. One of the managers stopped by to make sure everything was tasting good. The man smoking the meats thanked us for stopping by as we left with our stomachs full. Then a patron in the parking lot chatted with us for a few minutes. Kindness, attentiveness, and common courtesy are lost arts and go a long way in my book! We'll definitely be back. In fact, we're heading there now with the rest of the travel baseball team to enjoy good food, kind service, while we kill some time before the next game. Dang it, I just realized I didn't photograph the food but if you've seen a plate of smoked meats then you can imagine.

In fact, after my visit, I think I actually appreciate its rough appearance. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I was entering "the real deal" of craft; nothing fancy - just quality. In addition to his beers, he also makes his own spirits and the whiskey was absolutely phenomenal. I'm not a huge whiskey guy so I'm sure a "snobby" person may have a different opinion but it's most definitely worth a shot during your visit. The owner, who was working behind the bar, was extremely personable and seemed to make quick friends with every guest that came in. You could tell he takes a lot of pride in his craft. I will be back and will make sure I bring others with me to experience this hidden gem.

The restaurant has a great look and atmosphere, and the downtown location makes it easy to walk around Marshall before or after eating. The food was mixed.

Overall, the setting was better than the food, but it is still a convenient stop while exploring downtown Marshall.
