Went to this place with my family after my grandson’s basketball game and had dinner. The bartender Tony was a great guy and the food was delicious.

Banging food! Homemade pizza! Drinks good and pool is always fun! Have gaming if you like to gamble and a decent size fenced into patio area out back! Always a good time to relax and get a drink after long work day or week!

My friend and I stopped in for lunch on Sunday. We are from out of town (Indiana). The bartender was very friendly!! We ordered burgers, fries, and onion rings. They tasted great, and we're great portions! My friends tap Modelo beer tasted slightly off. He told the bartender, he was apologetic and replaced it with a bottle of Modelo. I highly recommend this establishment! Very friendly and welcoming. Definitely will be back if in the area again.

What a surprise! A hidden gem for bar food! We were all pleasantly surprised. Quality food, cooked really well, and decent prices. I bought a round of drinks for 5 people for 12.50 (3 beers and 2 mixed drinks).I had the Italian beef with cottage fries. Sandwich was juicy without falling apart and cottage fries were fresh cut!WILL DEFINITELY RETURN!!
