Service was great and food was good and their menu has different options than the norm. I ordered the breakfast burrito, which is new to the menu. BIG BURRITO!!!! It was good, but no way I could finish it. Will stop by again and try in the evening to be outside on the patio."

All of them were mouthwatering. The meat was fresh and the battered fish was so tasty. Love the chips as the sides & enjoyed them with mug rootbeer. The staffs were so friendly and helpful. There were clean restrooms. Plenty tables so you wouldn't need to wait to be seated."

Mar 26, 2026"This place had a great feel to it, and really good staff. They were quick to get us our appetizers after ordering, and checked in on us often enough, but not too much. My wife ordered the braised beef tacos. The beef was great, but it was obvious that the tortillas were straight out of a bag from the grocery store, which was a big turn-off for us. I got the Beast Burger, which was good if you’re into really heavy burgers. I prefer more fresh ingredients on my burgers, and if you’re the same, I’d steer clear of the Beast Burger. I got smashed potatoes as my side, and they were great. Best part of my meal. The cheese curds were great, and the fries were pretty good too. Overall a good dining experience."

We then had a good time picking between some local dishes and ones I’d never heard of. Our waitress was very kinda and attentive and regularly checked up on us without needing to ask if we needed something. She even helped us with our bill since part of my order had something that didn’t quite fit my tastes. Overall this place went above and beyond my expectations."
