Apparently they just had a new set of taps installed so there were a half-dozen craft beers available on draft in addition to the wide selection of bottles and cans. I got the Sriracha Pulled Chicken Sandwich and it was mouth-watering. Add on the $1.50 side of tater tots (you get a TON) and you've got a hearty meal. Whoever is running this kitchen knows exactly what they're doing and they're doing it deliciously well.

I hate to complain because it was free, but it looked like old burnt popcorn was mixed with the new. Blech. We saw the trash can and dumped it. Some of us ordered the hot dog special, which was fine. Two of us ordered salads. They looked amazing, BUT, it was filled with just lettuce on the bottom. The meat and cheese were tossed on top. Nothing was mixes in the middle. Some of us had cocktails, and one had a can of soda, which was 3$ for the can. That was a bit much. It's a neighborhood place, not the greatest, not the worst.

Stopped in had 2 beers each, split a grinder and dough ball's, and it was about $45 dollars. Doughballs were excellent. Grinder was good but a little underwhelming, kinda flat, not much meat on it.$13 for what would be a wimpy half grinder at Mancinos seems a little expensive for the area, kinda basic and was a little slow out of the kitchen. All said this place is nice and clean for a roadside bar, very nice wood ambience. Partner reported the womens bathhroom to be clean but cold (in December). We'll come back maybe try the fish or pizza next time.

The service is fast and friendly, Kelly is the best hostess ever and she is also the OWNER. Everything was freshly prepared and made to order. The prices are VERY reasonable. Kelly gave great suggestions on the menu items , which is very helpful in case you can't decide on what to get. Very cozy hometown decor with plenty of seating. The bar is kept clean and tidy. Family friendly place that has a great patio for outdoor seating. If you are in the Bay City/ Essexville, , Michigan area stop on by. I highly recommend this place.

My entree was the Jamaican jerk flat iron served on a bed of rice pilaf topped with grilled asparagus. It was good but I was expecting a little more heat. My friend got an Asian side salad and fish and chips which he said he enjoyed. I considered them small plates and would like to see a garden salad or coleslaw offered with the entrees for the prices they are charging. High/low top, bar and patio seating. Full bar with craft and specialty drinks. Excellent service. Retro environment. Loud. Pricey. I also was a little concerned seeing the "review spamming" on Google with 5 stars, no comments and only one or two total reviews. I most likely would return.
