Step thru the doors & be transported back in time, to maybe an old saloon in the Wild West- the bartenders darn bow ties, a fire crackles ahead, & an old-timey piano plays in the background. And if that doesn't grab you, the wood-fired brewery using hand pumps should! Rarely do I make exceptions for atmosphere to win out over food, but the setting more than makes up for any shortcomings the BBQ might have. Put this place on your list!

Went on prime rib night. $27 for an 8 oz with one side. It came out like warm for us both and super thin with a lot of fat so I might have gotten 4oz of meat to eat. We left hungry. Roll was nothing special, sat ontop of pr so soggy. Coleslaw was good, French fries were ok but such a tiny portion. One place to play games chess and checkers infront of a very nice fireplace that they had lit. The beer was not good, not 3 options that were light on the % of alcohol so I got a wine instead. They advertise pr night and there micro brews so I as expecting a lot better from both. We would come again to try sandwiches and sit by the fire. Very disappointing in all though!

Which is exactly what I ordered. For my sides I selected yams and Mac and cheese. Collards are also an option for a side. Additionally, you do have options for fish or pork chops too. If you don't want a combo you can also order menu items a la crate. I would suggest ordering ahead to kill the wait time. Depending on how busy they are you may be waiting about 25 mins for your food if you just walk in to order. There are about two tables in there with a few chairs to dine in. But this is more of a takeout place in my opinion. Depending on your eating habits one platter can very well be two servings. Enjoy!

Pros: Friendly staff, ample seating, clean restroom (although the first women's stall is kinda tight, the door does not swing flush with the wall due to the sanitary bin. You kinda enter on angle.)

While I was waiting, I looked at the reviews and a lot of them were raving about the chicken. So, I ordered two pieces of the fried chicken and an order of the Mac & Cheese. Got home and couldn't wait to dig in because it smelled so good! Wasn't disappointed in any of it! The chicken coating was crispy and tasty and the chicken was moist! The Mac & Cheese was also very good! I ate almost the entire rack of ribs in one sitting. They were meaty and the BBQ sauce was very flavorful! I was glad that I had also gotten the cole slaw to eat with the ribs. Should've gotten more than just two pieces of the chicken!!!! Great find!!!!

I reminded myself that the price was right and used hot sauce to cover the sad state of the meat. I love wings and it looks like this place has a good selection. I may give it one more shot on that account.

If you enter from the parking lot entrance in the back you are greeted by a pool table right inside the door. They have a bar that can accommodate up to 15 ish people and a seating area to the right if you come in the front door! They have PA games of skill machines and an electronic dart board. The music is loud enough that you can hear it, but not too loud that you can't hear someone across the table from you! They have a small regular menu that consists of Dogs, Burgers, Chipped steak etc. They only run the fryer on a select few days a week when they make wings! There are about 15 beers on tap, 3 of which are rotating! They have a full bar and canned / bottled beer and ciders. If you sit in a seat you will be waited on by the bartenders, BE PATIENT, they probably saw you walk in, they will find you! The food, ahhh the food! Simple small menu, that can't be 100% found anywhere else! I say that, because there is a Johnny and Huns Smokehouse on the other side of the county, similar menu, but the hot dogs are not made the same. They are the star of the show! Coney dogs, where the dogs slowly grill on the flat top all day, or until they're ordered! The longer the better! Burgers are not gourmet but if you put the coney sauce on them...yumm. Burger is better if you order the special, a cheese burger with Chipped steak, onions and coney sauce...yumm again! When I was first told about this place years ago, I was told "order a dog and a special with a beer"! That was some good advice then, and it still applies today!
