"Been meaning to go here for a long time. Finally made it on Taco Tuesday. It's a no frills place that puts the effort where it matters: the service, drinks, and food. Didn't have Mexican, but those that did enjoyed it. The steak Sammy is tasty. The fries are top botch. Our server was Tara and she was perfect. She was patient and indulgent with our group. Good stuff all the way around."

"Amazing place. We ordered to go food on Christmas eve (felt guilty about that but we were from out of state), sat at the bar for a quick drink. The staff and customers were so amazing. I would give 10 stars if I could. The bartender was lovely and to funny. Must stop next time we're back."

"1st time visit with a group of friends. 1 person enjoyed their fish meal and said it was crispy and hot. The onion rings were good, too.. The flatbread lacked some seasoning. The boneless bbq wings were tasty and hot. The chicken wings weren't crispy if that's how you like them.One guess had mild wings, and they were saggy.. He asked for a replacement that took over 20 minutes. I had the sandwich, which was hot and juicy.. Did I mention the tater tots were crispy and hot..."

"This place is amazing! The food and drinks are consistently delicious, and the customer service is outstanding. The owners are incredibly friendly, attentive, and always greet you with a warm smile. Wednesdays are my favorite--don't miss their fantastic deal on Rockefeller oysters. Their martinis are also plus. Highly recommend!"

"Nice place, close to the lake. Friendly staff, clean, but kinda had a little bit of a smell of dirty mop water. The day we went, they were out of some of their food options. The food we did try was delicious. The drinks were fabulous, decent prices. We will definitely be back to try more."

"My husband and I have gotten food to go from here 3 or 4 times now and it has always been spot on! The mac and cheese is my absolute favorite but I always get it as a side dish so I can keep trying other menu items. So far we have had all of their burgers and they are so delicious. They are huge patties!! The different flavor combinations are great. This last time we had the Cajun chicken pasta and the Philly steak sandwich with mac. The Cajun pasta was very similar to Chili's but spicier. It was delicious but a bit steep in price for the portion size. $17 dollars is a lot for a small pasta dish. When we ordered the Philly, I was shocked that they asked how I wanted my steak cooked! It's real steak and was it delicious!!! It was very messy and hard to eat without getting sauce all over but it was so worth it. And the mac and cheese side was just perfection. We will continue to be returning customers and can't wait to dine in once the world goes back to normal a bit more."
