Nice place. This was my first stop after moving to the area. I got the pasta and my roommate got a burger. Both were really good. Service was also thorough and efficient. Will definitely be back
We hit this place every April for national mustang day. Great food and awesome service. Plus, there's enough televisions to watch any game that's on.
This is our favorite adorable place to bring our whole family for dinner. Whenever we have guests over we bring them here. Get the fries with a side of ranch 🤤 So good.
this restaurant is your classic sports bar. bar, high top tables, regular tables, and booths. The booths are huge! my tall husband loved them. there are tvs everywhere and some arcade games. The food portions are large, and it was very tasty. This is a relaxing, casual eatery. a good place to go with friends to hang out and watch the game. A good place to go when you are craving a burger. A good place to go when you are hungry and don't want to cook. the staff were friendly and the service was good. The music playing was country. That could be a deal breaker for some people. I don't know if that's standard or just what was playing the day we were there. We didn't mind.
The margarita flatbread is delicious. The tomatoes are very fresh and have tasted as if just from the garden. Our waitress Courtney L is fantastic!
Great food! The owner is awesome! The servers are great. I had the mushroom Swiss burger and finished every bite!
My husband and I met my dad and step mother for dinner and bingo experience on this padt Saturday. We all ordered the fish and fries and each of us enjoyed the food. We arrived early enough to get a great seat for bingo. 1 of our group even won a round of bingo! The only reason for knocking off 1 star was our original server for our meal cashed us out due to her shift ending and the server who came on ignored us, never came to see if we wanted drink refills or appetizers. Other then that we really enjoyed our experience and plan to go back again.
Stopped into for our first time! What a great place to get food, have a cold drink, listen to music, and just relax. The food was flavorful and hot! I would definitely recommend stopping in and trying something!
Met a friend here for the Vikings game, Even got a booth 10 minutes before the game! Was able to order breakfast, which was inexpensive, a good portion, and good. Stayed for the great specials during the game. Had nothing else to do so we stayed for Bingo! It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon with friends! You could have a conversation, as it wasn't too loud. You could enjoy the game and hear the game. Staff is very respectful and quick to get you refills!
I shall lead with this, Bella was THE best server we had ever! By far the nicest and kindest person always checked on us! Serivce with a smile is how she works and shall say, AMAZING work!! Bella: keep up the amazing job you’ll go far I think the service and EXPERIENCE was OUTSTANDING
