Guestbook & Reviews

Customer Reviews

Food & service are the main reasons we come here. It's the only place in town that serves a Monty Cristo & it's so good. Their fried pickles are a top contender in the area for sure. Service is great, you have bartenders checking in often enough where you don't feel overwhelmed by them, or flagging one down is easy if you need them. Atmosphere is fitting for a local dive bar. It's simple but still cozy. Plenty of seating indoors & a patio space out back.

My bartender Taylor was phenomenal. I felt welcomed without being overwhelmed. The service, food and atmosphere were excellent for a hometown bar. The place was SUPER clean as well. I would recommend over places like The Bun (which I love). Nice and quiet, no blaring music or yelling people.

Updating is hard. Just stopped with group for a couple of beers. Nice staff. Good time. Then on the road. Stopped for Saturday lunch with group. Great waitress. Food fine. Beer was great. Lost on gaming. Maybe next time. 1 did win $600. Didn't buy the meals. :) 😀

They provided the food for my daughters wedding dinner. It was nothing short of perfect. Everyone was extremely fat and happy when said and done. Some of the best beef tips I’ve ever had. Mashed potatoes second only to my moms. Can’t wait to eat their food again. Highly recommended.

Love this bar! It still has the close community feel to it! And the staff is great,and the drinks and food are phenomenal!! Plus they have the new electronic pulltab machines (if your a gambler like me you'll appreciate these), along with the blackjack table, the pig wheel, and legit pulltabs! All around a great place to have a tremendous time!
