I never should have listened to those who are not fans. My husband got 4 twisteds--2 chicken and one of each of the other flavors. They were all so good. And the fresh fried chips were delicious too. I got the fried swai. My husband is not a fan of fish but he kept stealing bites off my plate, it was that good. The batter was light and crisp. And the portion was huge. I LOVED the honey mustard coleslaw. I'm a slaw snob, and I have high standards. I look forward to eating the slaw again. The garlic Parmesan broccoli was good too. We will be back.

All their food is named after musicians. I had the Hank Williams hamburger, with spicy bacon jam, Cheddar cheese, and a couple of fried onion. The burger was delicious, the bacon jam not overly spicy for me but worked well. Great burger. Came with seasoned fries, also quite good. They brew some of their own beer, which both my friends and I thought they still had a little ways to go to perfect that. I had their Irish Stout which wasn't bad. A little more bitter than Guinness but ok. Definitely great food for a bar, and their craft beer will get there soon. Parking is around back.

I ordered an iced tea and it came in a mini pitcher as my glass. We shared an appetizer platter and I went with the blue moon burger with fries from my lunch. The appetizers were pretty standard and the fries were the showcase of my lunch crinkle cut and cooked to perfection. The burger was not too bad, but a little small and the flavor for having blue cheese definitely wasn't that big. All in all fun little place and have a big variety on their menu. Bumping them up to four stars just for the big ole iced tea pitcher.

This was an interesting spot to spend a Saturday night in downtown St. Joseph. First up: Cheap…read moredrinks. I tried to spend a lot of money. Had a few drinks for my wife and me plus a round for our group on my tab. Total was only $25. I've spent more on two drinks before. Second: The pool tables, shuffleboard, and jukebox. We enjoyed using them all. The shuffleboard needed a little TLC to get the pucks gliding right, but it was a good time. I didn't play pool, but our group had no complaints. The jukebox tended to eat a few quarters here or there, but whatever, we where having a good time. We rolled in at about 9pm and the place was practically empty. By the time we left a couple hours later, it was starting to fill up. Downtown St. Joseph has a lot of potential. Give it a few more years, and it'll be a great spot for dinner and drinks on the weekend.

On two occasions a group of us in our late 60s have tried to have lunch here on a Monday. The first…read moretime one of our members called ahead to be sure they could accommodate a group that runs between 8 and 20 routinely. They were assured that they could. When we arrived, however, there were only 2 staff on duty, a bartender and a cook. Nonetheless, the bartender and I moved tables and got ready for up to 15. 18 arrived, and the barkeep added a table. He indicated more than once that NO ONE had prepared him for us or even mentioned our reservation. Service was slow, as you can imagine, food arrived over a period of 30 minutes, and several of our group were unhappy but I detailed the situation to them and mentioned that it was not the bartender/server's fault. the food was good, in almost everyone's estimation. Obviously the cook knew what HE was doing. I tried to get everyone back in there again for about a year before they all said ok, and we scheduled again, 2 or 3 weeks before our visit. when we arrived it was the same story. I asked to speak to the manager or owner, but neither was there. later, I attempted to find the owner's name to discuss this nicely with them, as I have been in business management since 1974, and understand the demands and that owners would always like to know if things aren't right in their absence. After research, I was told the owner listed in the current, 2023, city directory was gone and a new owner had it. In any case, we polled the group and decided to take our group of 16 elsewhere. I noticed we constituted about a 100% increase in lunch attendance from what I saw, and our tab that day at a similar business exceeded $ 225. That's a lot to lose on inefficient communication! I doubt I can convince that gang to try them again, but I liked the food. Maybe I'll get it from Grubhub next time because this is ridiculous. If you have more than 6 for lunch there, keep moving....

Sent it back, and when it came back the top was hot, but the rest was still barely lukewarm still. Took about 3 bites, and took the rest home. The Club Sandwich bacon was overdone. Baked potato was waaaayyy overcooked. So skin was hard. Boneless wings had some chewiness to them. The pasta did get comped, so can't complain too much! And I took the leftovers home. Server was great! I felt bad for complaints about the pasta, but she was awesome. She was very attentive, and kept drinks filled. She lent my kiddos a pen to do the kids menu activities. The restaurant is decorated with all sorts if fun decor as always. Even with the great service, probably won't be back for quite some time if at all.
