“ We had a great time tonight.. Good drinks and food. Sweet bar staff.. we will go back.. loved the Locals Punch.. ”
“ Love coming here! The food is always good especially the wings. A big enough menu for everyone to be satisfied. They have a shaded outdoor area, an indoor bar, and billiards. ”
“ July 2025 - fantastic food, really good entertainment on a Saturday night, and the bathrooms smell fresh and clean so I got to give this place a five star. I can't wait to see what happens when they finish the renovations and the plastic wrap is removed. Unlike years ago this place now brings in a very happy crowd. It has been renovated since last we went. However there's something wrong with the bathrooms, they reek of sewage. Something needs to be done about that! The TVs are playing varieties of sports which is nice was proficient and they didn't give us our bill until after they cleared the plates so that's good. Not too much in the way of friendliness, but the food was good. Cooked correctly and good greasy bar food. There is still some construction going on in the back room but I'm sure it'll be done soon. The music on the PA system was terrible, just horrible tone deaf I don't know if it was Disney or what squeaky girl music and then country and I don't mean good country I mean the find a country that Charlie Rich would spit his whiskey out at. LOL ”
“ The atmosphere was like a sports bar. The service was friendly and welcoming. We visited for a quick bite and the food was good. I did enjoy my drink. There was a live band playing country music. I would visit again but I would probably order bar food. ”
“ 2nd time ordering to-go. Both times, the wings were delicious, great sized, flavorful, for the price. Love the southwestern eggrolls. The sauce is delicious! Estimate given on time is accurate. Our favorite local to-go spot since we’re not bar people. Inside is nice though- we just don’t drink. ”
