I'd been here once a number of years ago, at which time this place was truly a dive. Walls were…read morecovered in very well-worn carpet, the place was almost too dim to see in (in the afternoon), the beer selection was very poor. I think I had a Blatz. I didn't order food--I could do just as well eating something off the sidewalk, I thought. Inspired by the good reviews here, I went back this week. What a change! New wood paneling on the walls, a very clean atmosphere overall with lots of natural light. And good craft beers. I ordered the chicken-bacon-ranch salad and was impressed. Lettuce was fresh and finely cut, meat was tender and generously portioned, with enough bacon to provide an accent but not dominate the salad. Salads at small bar-and-grill operations are sometimes a dicey bet, but Mio Saloon nailed it. Don't get me wrong--this place hasn't been yuppified. It's still a down to earth small town bar catering to a biker clientele. It also seems to be a spot where locals just meet to have lunch and chat, dragging the kids along. The vibe might be different at night. I get up to Mio a few times a year, and I plan to find out next time I do.

The place is old but seems clean. There is a full bar not that I'm drinking yet. We had the waiter take our order and someone else brought condiments which are dirty and the onion in the dish looked old and taken off a sandwich. There are several workers here or visitors not sure but they are around. I ordered a philly sandwich which was very salty it did have the green peppers with it but no onions. It came with staled chips. Very disappointed. My husband ordered a cheeseburger. He said it was ok. I cant even see giving it a second chance which many times I give to a restaurant.

There was just one waitress and it was starting to get busy. Very casual vibe with the TV's. My daughter described it as a mini Buffalo Wild Wings.

They were so filling that I almost ordered another round, but honestly, one order was more than enough. I even took two home in a doggy bag and ate them cold later without reheating or even dipping them in the sauce and they were still absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is amazing. There's a beautiful view, a patio, a rooftop, and TVs everywhere on the main floor, so you won't miss a second of the game. Whether you're there to catch sports, enjoy the scenery, or just have a great meal, they've got you covered. The service was friendly, fast, and the restaurant was clean. The staff works hard, so don't forget to tip! Everyone was so welcoming, and the food was delicious at a great price. I seen a Mac n cheese bowl topped with brisket omg sooooo good Pro tip: Check them out on Taco Tuesday! And one thing I really loved it's kid-friendly! I saw families with kids enjoying themselves while others were watching the game and friends were high-fiving over a beer. It truly has that welcoming, family atmosphere that makes you want to come back. I'll definitely be visiting again!
