We are staying at Grand Casino and decided to stop in here for dinner. They were having a sirloin…read moresteak dinner special and at least one person on every table was eating that but we ventured to the menu. I chose the batter fried shrimp which really was breaded and fried. The shrimp were filet style so they were flat. It came with choice of potato (fries, baked, or mashed) and I chose baked. My meal was just ok. Lots of breading on the shrimp. Carrots were the veggie side (not too hard to boil baby carrots) with no flavoring. Table service was great. I think his name was Jeremy and he was working hard. He did a great job. The hostess seemed like she would like to be anywhere but hosting. The vibe was kind of cafe style. Didn't feel like a dinner restaurant. Just an ok experience.

We came here for dinner on a Monday and it was burger special night. Buy one, get one (sort of)…read more You buy one burger and get the second free but pay for your toppings. I had fried onions. The odd part is you buy the burger but don't get any sides. Long story to say the 2fer got us two dollars off the total. HA! Anyway, the burgers were delicious. Love the ciabatta bread. Nice and juicy burger. We got tots as our side and they were nice and crispy. Yummm Staff was great. Appreciate that the restaurant was open on Monday night as that tends to be when they all are closed. They have a nice spot next to the water and if it wasn't 45 degrees, it would be a great place to dine and have a beer. Lots of beers on tap as well. Free popcorn. Good stop.

Our server was very friendly and brought our food out quickly. My kids liked their cheeseburgers. I got the Lumberjack burger which had bacon and pulled pork on it. I got it with pink in the middle and it was really good! The burger was flavorful and juicy. The tater tots were yummy too. Nice and crispy on the outside with a good amount of seasoning. My husband liked his BLT with waffle fries. Our whole lunch came to $51 (we didn't get any alcohol), which feels like a good deal. I'm happy to have one more good place to eat to stop in on our way to and from our cabin.

While you would think from the outside you are walking into a Mexican restaurant it is but it isn't. Some good Mexican dishes (my mom LOVED) the flavor of the chicken in her tacos. And also a mixture of traditional bar fare food - hamburgers, salads and that night (Friday) was also all you can eat shrimp. We stuck with the Mexican food and enjoyed a nice margarita. The food portions are HUGE! You will not leave hungry. Space was clean and service was good. Not sure I'll be rushing back but certainly glad to finally check it out and would go back.

We understand it is hard to get dependable employees these days, so we were totally fine waiting a little longer, especially with everything hot and delicious when we got it!

Broasted chicken was crispy on the outside and so juicy and delicious! I didn't have high expectations going in, but was so pleasantly surprised! We'll be back!
