The menu was good, we had the shrimp po boy and it was really good. Service was very attentive, and they will take the bill at your table. My only issue: cans of pop vs fountain drinks with refills. I mean, at least it was Coke products. If it were anything else, I'd probably just do without and get water. We've been here twice now, and I assume we'll be back.

Can't believe we haven't stumbled on this place before. It's an easy stop off 88 and the food is great! We both had burgers; I got onion rings which are some of the best we have ever had. They are crispy and delicious! The burgers were amazing! Lots of toppings to choose from, perfectly toasted buns, crispy bacon, just a perfect, juicy burger. The bartender was friendly and helpful and the guys behind the grill were awesome. Can't wait to stop back and try more delicious eats! They had fried chicken today too which was tempting:-)

I was so hungry and they were so tasty that I forgot to "feed" the camera first. We both got the same burger - a Single Knuckle Burger with pepperjack cheese, along with lettuce, tomato, onion. My wife ordered their loaded Bloody Mary, which was very good - it's a shoe-in to win the Best of Ogle County if people try it. The burgers were very good. They now have a draft beer, so I ordered one and it tasted fine. This is basically a side of the road bar and restaurant, ambiance wise. Nothing fancy, but not run down either. Just good food.

The menu showed 4 tacos, the menu said you get 3 and what I got were two slightly stale shells wrapped in tin foil with my entree. The service was good, but In my opinion the food was just average. I guess technically it's mostly a bar, in which case it's probably better than most. The atmosphere is casual, but for what we paid ($108 for 4 people and 1 appetizer) seems like a lot for what it is.
