The street tacos and quesadillas were great as well. While the food is fantastic the wait staff was even better. They were friendly, helpful, and made you feel like you had been going there for years. I am not locale but will make this a for sure stop every time I pass through. Don't miss this one!

Got a rainbow flag on the ceiling to represent "everyone welcome no judgement " which was appealing to me. Check it out. Closed on Sunday n Monday. Visit with ANDY!! Fun spot

The ambience is straight out of a western with lots of taxidermy on the walls and cool western and cowboy wall art. Great vibe with lots of locals having lunch. We got a booth seat and enjoyed a couple of sandwiches (fried fish [cod] & a blt with fries and onion rings, respectively). Food was fried to perfection and we even enjoyed a delightful house made peanut butter cake with a coffee! The service was swift and kind, and the bathroom even had cute wall art to match the dining room. We checked out the bar and while it was small, it was cozy and they had a nice billiards table definitely somewhere we would wanna go on a Friday night to do some people watching. Love this place and can't wait to go back. Five stars

I think this must be a family owned place, because at some point, I saw a 13 year old (ish) boy clearing tables and handing out candy at the tables. We were sitting for quite a while before anyone noticed us and brought menus. But once we did get the attention of our waitress, she was very nice. There's a kids menu with the typical offerings. They mostly have the standard beers and a handful of local offerings. I had the hazy pineapple beer, and it was okay. My husband tried a local IPA, and he liked it. I had the fried shrimp and the housemade potato chips. They make their own chips (good, although unevenly salted) and they come with a delicious french onion dip, just like the stuff I remember from childhood. My husband and I couldn't get enough. The menu is otherwise pretty burger-based, but that's fine for a setting like this. They have a pool table that takes quarters. That kept the kids occupied while the adults were able to watch some of the March Madness fun.

We had very nice service from one of the younger female servers, who has served us before - and who we really enjoyed again.

I ended up with a very hearty lettuce-heavy salad (salad of the Gods?) dish with a nice dressing and my husband opted for breakfast fare with nice biscuits & gravy! We will definitely go back and try more dishes again.
