Easy access and large parking lot were a good start. Inside they have a huge wrap around bar and lots of table seating too. Big TVs and typical pub decor made me feel right at home. I grabbed a seat at the mostly open bar and was quickly greeted. Beer selection isn't huge, but they had a few craft options. I'm guessing they will have a bigger selection once the volume picks back up. I just ordered a Fiddlestix IPA and a small buffalo wings. The beer was a nice 16 oz. pour, and the wings came out hot and juicy. $12 for 8 wings is reasonable. The blue cheese was clearly made in house and was great. Next time I might get a larger order of wings for a few bucks more. Overall I loved the spacious layout and good menu. I could make this a weekly hangout.

Inside was very busy and cavernous but we got right in and sat at a table in the back. A band was setting up for some live music. We ordered beers, and a half tray of natchos which were very good and had a generous amount of cheese. For dinner, I had 16oz prime rib with 2 sides ($24.99) and I had a garden salad and a baked potato. The rib was cooked correct (medium) and the au joux was a bit salty. The rib had a good amount of fat (to be expected) but had a lot of silverskin and sinew which should have been removed prior to cooking. The potato was not cooked and was hard in the middle. I got that swapped for fries which were decent. Service was eh just ok and not to attentive.

No din to shout over. Where's your "restaurant voice"? I ordered the "1/2 rack of ribs" for $28. One of our go to places charges $28 for a full rack (2 slabs). I received 6 individual ribs. Not a "Rack". The sauce was nothing special, just a commercial bottled product. Not "fall off the bone" tender either. I had to ask for extra napkins too. Most places bring them with the meal. The coleslaw was as tasty as the plastic container it came in. My Wife ordered a Caesar salad with grilled chicken. The chicken was cut up into small pieces and dry. She had to ask for extra dressing just to eat it. The dressing was just bottled and nothing special. Service was OK at best. Not impressed, won't be going back.

They were bad too. She never did come back. Had another waitress come by to take our order. Got that in and ordered a Coke. Coke had hardly any ice, I asked her 3 times as she walked by for more ice. She never acknowledged me. So we left $5 on the table and walked out. The woman at the door ran out after us like we were crooks and asked if we paid our bill. I told her we never had one and no one wanted to help us. She had a dumb look on her face that matched her personality. So we went across the street to the pizza place. Much better. My recommendation to the waitress is to take the $5 and buy yourself a personality.

Old time bar in a well-worn building with a separate dining room that's more spacious and quieter…read more My review is more for the food, since the beer I tried was my third choice. Decent enough. Wings: Smoked but didn't have that smoked wing taste or feel. They were definitely tender and moist, but definitely not crisp. My sauce (sesame honey sriracha) was a nice blend with a little heat and sweet, with neither dominating. Sesame was AWOL. Not bad, but the lack of crispness lost a chance to impress more. Smoked Brisket and Chorizo Chili: A small-ish serving somewhat concealed by the thick, droopy layer of cheese stretching across the top of the crock. Really nice flavor from the chorizo and peppers, but I didn't notice a smoke presence. Despite the crumbled bits of meat, more of a heated salsa feel than chili. Again, not bad, but nothing I'd get again. The Holburger: Now THIS one came through in flying colors. So rare in these days of smashburger dominance to see a thick burger (they do smashburgers too), and this was exceptionally juicy and brought good flavor from the brisket/shortrib blend and the grill itself. Bacon was only slightly crisp, but that's how I want it on a burger. Potent blue cheese. All of the flavors blended really nicely. Bun a white-bready version of brioche. A gigantic pile of fries (I think hand-cut) had the right crispness and droopiness. And to make it even better, on weekdays from noon to 4pm this burger-and-fries plate, with the addition of a draft beer is a dollar LESS. Good burger, good deal. Mixed bag so far, but that burger will bring me back to try more. Though they seem to be a little understaffed, service was friendly on two separate visits.
