The inside was beautifully done. This is a great option for some slightly more upscale food in a semi-casual atmosphere. We sat at the bar for probably close to 10 minutes before receiving any service, we were dangerously close to leaving when the bartender "came back from break". He did apologize, and did a decent job waiting on us after that--albeit a little slow. There was another worker (Nicole?) clearly carrying the team, who was waiting on all of the bar area tables and perhaps others in the restaurant as well--she was delightful when she ran our food out for the bartender. I was excited to see their extensive beer selection. I opted for a boulevard wheat (one of my absolute favorites!). We ordered a couple of appetizers to hold us over until the wedding dinner we were about to attend. The flatbread of the week was a white sauce base with sausage, prosciutto, and bacon. When it first came out, it looked underwhelming, but it was amazing! The crust on the bottom was beautifully browned, and the combination of flavors was perfect. We also ordered the spinach artichoke dip, which was just average I'd say--very heavy on the cream cheese, not a ton of gooey cheese. All-in-all I would likely try it again.

I immediately had buyers remorse and wanted to leave to find another patio. Luckily my husband was able to sway the hostess to suit us outside, on account of it being my birthday. We settled up with our initial server and moved to the patio. Both of our servers were very gracious. Outside we could see the river and the train roll by. We had fried cheese balls to start- 10/10. The cheddar cheese was piquant, the breading was herbed, and the ranch dressing served alongside was not the kind from the grocery store! My better half and myself split the large order of chicken wings with sauce on the side. The garlic Parmesan sauce reminded me of the stuff Papa John's gives you, with more viscosity. It was not my favorite. The sweet and spicy sauce was my husband's favorite, and I thought it was okay. The wings were fried crispy and still juicy in the middle. We also shared the Italian salad which was awesome: artichokes, red onions, provel, Parmesan, salami, and a red wine vinegar dressing. We devoured both. My daughter had the toasted ravioli and they were some of the best I've had in a while. Really great experience and I'll be back for sure!

Omg, this is what I needed. After being in Washington for four weeks working for my company I was tired of the same old fast food. I asked a couple locals who directed me to Big Boys Subs. I looked at the menu clearly posted outside before I entered. It was clean, I mean really clean! It smelled clean. I was greeted by three people behind the bar as soon as I walked in. I placed my order and my for takeout as I dislike eating alone in a restaurant. I used the facilities and again I was taken aback by the cleanliness of the building. The bathroom even smelled clean. I decided to have a beer while I waited on my food, I was told 5 to 10 minutes, not a big deal. I barely had my beer before the food arrived. I finished my beer and headed out. I was greeted with, thanks for coming by, as I left. I got back to my hotel room and popped open the box to the biggest club I've ever seen. The box was packed with sub and fries, hot and salty, delicious! After one bite of the sub I had to jump on here. This is amazing. I don't know what they did to this simple sub but it is delicious. Thank you, for a delicious meal. I only wished I would have found them sooner, because I would have eaten there for every meal! read more

If you're looking for pricey, mediocre food and to be assaulted by the owner, Mike (one of the "Big Boys"), and then be denied your food after you've paid for it, this is the place to go! He still owes me my $5, but I'm unable to go there to get it since he called the police and trespassed me. Fantastic service! read more

I searched "country fried steak" & "chicken fried steak" and both results led me to this place…read more I am a big chicken fried steak breakfast person. My fiancee and I decided to check this out because she wanted pancakes. We mapped our way to Hwy 47 Kitchen - and as we pulled it, it was a gas station. I immediately was hesitant. We pulled around the back where it looks like they had a drive thru once before. The signage was all missing - i was considering turning around and going home. We parked, walked in, and it was packed... so, i thought okay maybe the food is decent. We sat down, were given water and menus. We both picked our breakfast entree and opted for coffee. The food came out fast, our waitress was nice and quick. Her pancakes were very large, they came with bacon, hash browns, and eggs. It was more food than she knew what to do with. She ended up getting half of it to go. My chicken fried steak was crispy, tasty, and had a decent amount of gravy on it. The eggs were obviously cooked on a flat top, and they had a nice texture to them. The hash browns had a bit too much butter for me - i had to over season them because they were soggy. My only other complaint was the amount of flies buzzing around. Other than that, it exceeded my expectations. I am glad I didn't judge this book by its cover.

An odd sign in the entry notes that are no longer accepting their previously issued gift certificates (wait, so you took money for these and are no longer honoring them?), but it didn't impact me. The food was where things went south. It took 30 minutes in a half full restaurant. I ordered the namesake Tattooed Dog, as I've had it before. It arrived with onion rings... 4 of them, from medium down to small. The dog was mostly warm (not hot), but withered like it had been cooking for a while. The meat was placed atop chili that was cold... cold enough to rob the warmth from some spots of the dog. The bun was a soggy mess, and none of the cheese was melted, so it couldn't have been under the heat lamp. It looked fanciful when served, but it was very underwhelming eating compared to past experiences. My wife had the chicken wrap, served with French fries. In a day and age when competitors give out fries like they need to clear an overstocked situation, it was a small handful that would normally be found in a Happy Meal from the famous clown. The wrap itself was shy on the chicken, and heavy on the dressing inside. What used to be a nice place, appears to be sliding downhill, as if the kitchen has given up. If they've checked out, so have we.
