Their drinks were good but if you are a beer drinker you are mostly looking at the normal, run of the mill lagers. They did have a couple of IPAs but nothing special craft brewery-ish. My daughter ordered a mule and said it was very good. We both ordered burgers and fries. The burgers were very good and sized well so we walked away satisfied. The service was really very good. The young lady provided just the right amount of attention and was super friendly. This place would be an excellent place to frequent if you were a local. They have a gaming room with electronic gambling machines but there is tournament sized shuffleboard along the back wall and it looked like it was free to play. Also soft tip dart boards if you enjoy that.

The dinning room wasn't very full but when they seated us they took us to what used to be a patio. Now it's enclosed and there is a bar a stage and plenty of seating. My problem was the fans that were blowing made it difficult to have a conversation with my wife across the table. I told the server it was almost too noisy and was having a hard time hearing him talk. He said he'd talk louder. That didn't really fix the problem. Not real sure why we were seated in this area because the dinning room had plenty of space. We had a little trouble communicating our order because of the noise. As I stated a couple times to our server. I communicated I have trouble hearing in areas like this and he just kept talking louder. Anyway we finally got our food ordered and went for a salad in the next room. My wife even commented on the empty tables and asked my why I thought they put us in that big room. Idk? So we get our salad and it was good. Kretzers had a decent salad bar. One of the reasons we like the place. I ordered a 12oz ribeye rare with a baked potato. Wife got chicken strips with gravy and mashed potatoes and gravy. When the food arrived everything looked good and the server said some things that I have no idea what. Even the wife didn't know. I go to open the butter for my pita and it's not butter. It's an oil whip. I do not eat fake butter. It's harmful. To find out they have no butter in the place. So I tell my server of the situation and looks at me like he has no idea what to do. Turns and walks away. So I eat my steak and stare at the baked potato. I am a recent cancer survivor and have no ability to make saliva. So I needed the butter to make the potato edible. Or even gravy or something. I told the server but I don't think he heard me correctly or didn't know what to do. It was so loud with the stupid fans. So while I do recommend Kretzers and like their steaks and crab legs and salad bar. I don't recommend their new addition to dine in. And if you want real butter bring your own. I was a little disappointed with our experience this time around.

I've passed this place up on occasion driving to mt Vernon. Always wanted to check it out. Glad we did. They have a gravel based parking. They have outside seating under a roof. Once you walk inside it's like you're in a wooded swamp like area. It was packed a bit so couldn't take many inside photos. The food is Cajun based. so you want some gator or catfish bites. They are one of the places to go to in Clinton County. I tried their grilled chicken sandwich with cheese. A side of Cajun fries( not Spicy- husband thought they may season with ole bay) we shared fried pickles and fried okra- we were almost full off of those alone. Large portions for appetizers! even their ranch dressing they brought out to dip the pickles in seems homemade. staff was amazing and attentive. We sat at the bar to eat and all of the ladies were wonderful! they also have a bar outside. Which was perfect as we were going to watch the bands. Overall we had a great time there!

I've worked in food for 40 years and I know what FRESH slaw looks like. The server said it was made fresh that day like every Friday. I told her I didn't believe that and to take it away as we were not eating that. Last week everything was excellent. Big difference from one week to the next. I don't think we'll be going there next Friday. Consistency is a must when you're serving food. She did not offer a replacement of any kind and our bill DID NOT reflect a discount either, disappointing. The customer is always right, remember that!
