The folks here are always so friendly and they will not rush you to order but will double check you know all your options and get something you love. The dining area and bathrooms are always clean and welcoming. If you stop here you won't leave disappointed.

The Mr and I opted for the burger special which included a cheeseburger, fries, and a beer for $18.95 (I think) and S had a French dip, while M had a BBQ sandwich. Our burgers were excellent and the fries were salty and crisp - just the way I like them. I was only able to eat half of my burger. The next morning I regretted not bringing the leftovers with me. I'd have eaten them for breakfast. Haha M seemed to enjoy his sandwich, but S was disappointed in hers. It didn't come with any sides. She felt like she should have gotten fries or cole slaw. Service was friendly. The location is a little strange. It was actually tucked into an industrial area. If we didn't know it was there and have a GPS, we'd never have found it. However there was live music outside and it appears to be a favorite with the locals.

They came and refilled the dog bowl with ice cold water, and our dogs loved that. Service was a little slow, but everyone was nice. I got the pulled pork sandwich with fries and bbq sauce. It was sooooooo salty. Everything. The fries, the pork, the sauce. So much salt. Dipping in my husbands ranch mellowed the salt a bit. My husband got the chicken pesto burger and salad. He said it was good, though Costco's was better. lol. But he ate it all. The dogs got their bowl split in half. There was a bunch of peanut butter, chicken, cucumber, and cabbage. The picky dog devoured it all but the cabbage, the dog who'll eat anything ate only the chicken and PB. Really funny. But they were big sized. I'd go again, just being understanding that they're heavy handed with the salt.

I asked for a Dos Equis, and Heather looked at me and blankly asked, "What is that?" When I explained it was a Mexican beer, she snapped, "We don't have that." Meanwhile, I could clearly see another patron at the end of the bar drinking a Modelo. I pointed it out and just asked for a Modelo instead, which she finally served. The real issue, however, was a shocking lack of sanitation later in our meal. My dad ordered the Reuben soup, which came with a side of Thousand Island dressing. He enjoyed it, so a few minutes later, I ordered a cup for myself. When Heather brought out my soup, it didn't come with its own dressing. Instead of pouring a fresh side, she reached over, grabbed my dad's used, leftover Thousand Island dressing, pushed it over to me, and said, "Oh, he looks like he didn't touch this. You can go ahead and use it." I was completely stunned and disgusted. Passing used, pre-served food side-dishes between customers is a massive health code violation, regardless of whether we are family or not. If this is how they handle hygiene in plain sight at the bar, I dread to think what is happening back in the kitchen. We will definitely not be returning.

It's a unique space that's worth seeing. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. The restaurant appeared significantly understaffed, and most of the menu items we wanted weren't available. Ordering and paying at the counter isn't necessarily a problem, but for a restaurant of this size it creates an inefficient experience and leaves guests without much support once they've ordered. Once the food arrived it 45-minutes later, it was underwhelming and looked like items from a grocery store deli. I hope they're able to address the staffing and kitchen issues, because the venue deserves a dining experience that matches its character. Until then, hesitate to go.
