There was a total of ten people in the whole place. Poor girl in the kitchen seemed like she was struggling. There is absolutely no reason that food should take two hours dang near to show up after ordering with so few people in the place. Sorry but don't show up here if you want to eat and go about your day. Plan on staying for a while.... Not impressed with that aspect. I'm not even mad just very disappointed.

Was in there on the 4th so yes it was busy. With that said I found the experience less than…read moresatisfying. My "wood fired wings" were soggy and not worth what they charge. Definitely not wood fired. Be busy. Take all the time you need to cook the food when people understand your busy. Just dont deliver garbage food and charge a premium for it. Just one mans opinion. Some of the worst wings I've ever had and I have had a lot. My recommendation. Skip the over priced crappy, soggy, wings. Pizza looked good however. Maybe they should stick to pizza. Leave the wings for restaurants who care.

My absolute favorite is their jalapeño crème ale, and I don't even really like spice, but it just has a great flavor making me think fresh cut peppers. Their staff is always friendly and knowledgeable, and they have a great little merch spot. We stock up whenever we have the chance!

Many of their beers were infused with different flavors and I truly loved each one. I had a blueberry lemon summer shandy and it was so refreshing! I love how strong the flavors pull through. You order up at the bar and they have a lot of seating to accommodate different group sizes which is great! They have a section of games as well and share a hallway with California burritos which I highly recommend ordering & enjoying with your beer! Be sure to stop in if you're going by!

I was there for lunch with a friend so it was quiet and the person serving us, Corey, was just wonderful.

Salad bar was adequate but not what it used to be. The cheese steak soup was outstanding. I…read moreshould have just gotten the soup and salad bar but came to try the chicken dinner special. Broasted too long, dust for a crust and dry meat with little to no seasoning. Three people in our group got it and nobody ate a second piece. Mashed potatoes were instant, which was a let down because how hard is it to boil a potato? Roll on the plate was nice to see but there was no butter. Walleye bites was the other order and they were overcooked, dry and bland. Color of the batter gave away the age of the oil; dark and old. Service was so so, nobody asked how the food was and when paying the bill there was no checking to see how the meal was or a thanks, see you next time etc. Heard good things about the chicken, thought we'd try it, glad we did because I don't have to go for the Friday fish fry now. Sorry but I cannot see trying this again.

Instead I got a green olive swiss mushroom burger with fries. They get an extra star for the creativity of adding green olives, but they will not serve pink and they used a regular grocery store white hamburger bun. The burger was well done and on the medium size. They could make the burger pop if they used brioche or other nicer bun, used more meat, and went pink. A disappointing 3 stars for mucking up what could be a home run. Maybe a 4 would be more fair given the creativity of the green olives. I almost did not order the fries. OMG. BEST EVER FRIES ON THE PLANET. It turned out the bartender and server, Sharon, is the owner. She said she changed the recipe a year ago. Well, she did right. I frankly would go back just for the fries: big, perfect crunch, great color and flavor, and a huge portion. See photo. I thought about taking an order of the fries home to see if I could figure out how to make these at home. I will have to go back. Enthusiastic 5 stars for the fries. Another surprise was having two IPAs on tap. I got two of the Alaskan Brewing Company IPAs, and even posted a photo of it on Instagram of it. First off, we were out in the middle of no-where, and they have TWO IPAs on tap. Every other bar we went to did not have any on tap, and few even had bottles. I asked Sharon how in the world an Alaskan IPA wound up tjere. She said she asked her distributor for a really good IPA. She got it. A few 5 stars here: for being creative with two IPAs in the middle of no-where, for taste, bar service. Service. Sharon is very attentive and nice. I appreciated her candor about why I could not order a pink burger (the cook), the beer story, and her comical interaction with the two knuckleheads I was with who blew all their Pulltab winnings, plus about $60. 5 stars. Loved the decor, including a big red half of a canoe for Leinenkugels beer, and a smaller inflatable one. I guess it would be typical for an area bar. So this is not a 5 star fancy schmancy formal dining establishment. It is, however, a diamond in the rough for that area. 5 stars for what I wrote about, and hopefully the burgers will improve. This is the kind of place Yelp was built for: to direct people like me to high quality mom and pop businesses. I hope the locals appreciate what they have.
