Great atmosphere. LOVE they're steak burger and breaded mushrooms! Plus, the bartender is awesome! Super nice and friendly guy!
Very cool bar. Will definitely go back. The steak sandwich and homemade horseradish was great! Super friendly waitress and waiters. Love the old wheelchair hanging from the ceiling!
Their food and atmosphere is excellent. Try their legendary Steak sandwiches! You will love it any way you want it. This place use to be a Stag Bar many years ago. I can remember when I was a kid in the late 70s lol. Small town. This place has always had its regulars and they are always nice and respectful in my experiences. Try it you will not be disappointed.
Great local bar. Service is always very good. The food is the big draw. Typical 'bar food,' with the steakburger being the standout item on the menu. Cooked fresh to order, great flavor, and all the fixin's. As a bar, good drinks at decent prices. Good local atmosphere, with a loyal contingent of regular patrons.
The breaded tenderloin was perfect and my friend mushrooms were the best I've ever had. I stop often for breakfast, the biscuits and gravy are very good also.
I made a mistake by putting the food as a four I get biscuits and gravy there every day and it is fire...
Had a great steak burger and a couple of beers for only 12!! Tessa is a Doll, took great care of me. Good old rock music.
Fun filled time! The pool table is nice! Tell the bar tender that 'WALLY SENT YOU.'
