It gives off the vibe of a sports bar but also a place to sit and have a casual meal. The fried pickles came out hot and crispy and they were wonderful! Even after sitting and munching on them after 5 minutes the ones that were still in the basket were still warm. The PB+J burger was amazing! It has a nice little kick with every bite you took. It had the perfect amount of spicy that wasn't too overwhelming. The BBQ wings were also very good! Cooked to perfection and had the perfect amount of sauce on them. The cheese balls were really good but had too much cheese in each bite you took. The cheese balls were also much larger than what we were thinking they were going to be. Roughly the size of a golf ball. The service was splendid. There was one waiter and bartender working while we ate but you wouldn't have guessed that by how fast our drinks and food came out. Our waiter was very attentive and checked in on us, while waiting on every other table in the building. If you are passing through town this is definitely a place to try out!

We got to the cabin late so we went to town for dinner. I haven't ate at Bullfrogs in awhile, so…read morewe're excited to try it. The menu has changed and they've added some items. For starters we got the fried pickles. Perfectly fried and not overly salty. The coating has a little heat to it which made it really good. The dipping sauce also has some heat. We got ranch also to dip them in. We also shared a Cowboy burger. This was a nice size Patty well seasoned. The bbq sauce was really good and not over powering. The only issue we had is the description says fried onions and to me they were sautéed. Personally I don't like onions unless fried and the manager was more than happy to replace the burger but we only asked for a bottom bun. Our side were tots. They needed just another minute or two in the frier but were still good. Now they make homemade pizzas! We got a small one to share and we devoured it. It was a chicken, bacon and ranch. The sauce was Alfredo and it was topping heavy. Everything about this pizza was perfect! We definitely will be back for the pizza.
