I called the day before and they couldn't have been nicer. We stopped by there about 11:45 on Thanksgiving. The young man who took our order couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful. We waited maybe 15 mins. Let me say, when we landed at our next destination, the turkey dinner, all the fixings, sides and dessert was delicious! Homemade and such a generous portion. If we were locals we would be regulars! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

It was a Tuesday night, which turned out to be wing night with wings that were a reasonable price. I also went for the fish and chips, which were fair. The wings were quite tasty, and they have a decent variety of sauce flavors to choose from which is a good thing. I also went for the street corn, which was excellent. We were sitting out on the porch, and the weather was good. Noise was kept to a minimum so we were able to talk without having to shout, which I consider to always be a good thing. The food was good, our wait staff were decent, and we were very happy with our experience. If we are in the area again, we would certainly return.

But when you're in Helen and bar hopping, you can't help but go in to check it out, and that's exactly what we did. I can't speak for the food, as we were only there for the beer and music, but overall it's a great spot to hang out in this little tourist town. Bartenders were great and the beer was cold. One of the bartenders also took a turn at karaoke, it's great to see people enjoy their jobs, and it made for a fun evening. Will definitely pop back in on our next trip. Karaoke Bartenders

The waitress was literally drinking a beer at the bar when she wasn't waiting on people. The food was less than satisfying. My son got the NY strip sandwich and the meat was inedible. So tough he couldn't chew it. I got the fish sandwich...fairly good, but nothing to write home about. The prices were very different from the pricing on yelp, so I've attached photos of the current menu with the (IMO) high prices. It's your typical local bar with very loud music, which you might like, but just not for me. All in all, not my cup of tea and really offended to see an employee drinking while waiting on customers. And while the manager/owner is standing there too.
