Looked like some sort of tiny gas station soy Pattie and a regular old Walmart bun, not even a warm or grilled bun. This thing shouldn't have been more than $3.00. I get they aren't a burger place but it's definitely the worst I've had from a mom and pop home style restaurant. Pie was amazing as usual otherwise they'd have gotten 1 star. They've got to get rid of the cheap burger meat though. That was awful. If I had more time I would've complained but I had to get back to work.

The inside is not impressive. Looks like a kid's play room with toys all over. No inside dining available. What comes out of Barb's Bounty is much more impressive! I had the daily special--a ham and Turkey club. Imagine three pieces of toasted sourdough (I'm guessing)--one side is a BLT and the other ham, cheese and Turkey. Best bacon ever! My side was the fruit salad. It was a nice combination of fresh and canned fruits. The rest of our party had the same daily special, but with battered fries (waffle fries were also an option). Our son had a burger (rated a 4) and potato salad (rated a 5). Each day features a couple of daily lunch specials and a dinner special, in addition to a variety of soups, salads, wraps, burgers, and sandwiches. For a small place, it offers a great variety. It is NOT fast food. Be patient as it's worth the wait. Barb is offering specials and open Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. When asked about being open, Barb said due to Covid she knew many of her older customers would not be at family gatherings. She certainly appears to care about her community. Also available are fruit jellies and jams, salsa and relishes. And a limited selection of baked goods.

Its nt the decor or the location that gt 5ive stars. Its the great steaks and attentive friendly service. Very local vibe, people seemed to know each other and the staff was very chatty. Maybe a little too much because we ahd to keep flagging our waitress down who seemed a bit scattered. But still she was very nice. Other staff members checked on us several times so we were never lacting in anything. The stake I ordered (medium rare) which I always order came out very rare. If it was a little more done I would not have said anything. But someone from the kitchen stopped by the table and asked if I was ahppy with the tempature. I was nice about it and said, well not really, this seems very rare to me, not medium rare. WIthout complain he quickly took the stake on a side dish leaving the rest of myt meal to enjoy. Teo minutes laters a perfectly medium rare stake came out with a bit of char on the outside, hot and pink while still juicy inside. And it was a very good, very thick streak. Honestly I had wished I'd ordered a large cut. ANd isn't a great steak your looking for when going to a steakhouse?

Their drinks were good but if you are a beer drinker you are mostly looking at the normal, run of the mill lagers. They did have a couple of IPAs but nothing special craft brewery-ish. My daughter ordered a mule and said it was very good. We both ordered burgers and fries. The burgers were very good and sized well so we walked away satisfied. The service was really very good. The young lady provided just the right amount of attention and was super friendly. This place would be an excellent place to frequent if you were a local. They have a gaming room with electronic gambling machines but there is tournament sized shuffleboard along the back wall and it looked like it was free to play. Also soft tip dart boards if you enjoy that.
