    Update Dart Board Area
    Rhea Z.

    I must say, this is definitely a first for my husband and I. It's attached to a gas station. Has a nice outdoor area where the food truck "Good Eats" is located. A pool table outside as well and a lot of seating and TV's. Inside is very welcoming. A lot of TVs and tables. 1 pool table inside. My husband and I came for the dart board to throw some darts--they have removed the dart board from a long the wall from the previous review and now it's just one dart board. They replaced that wall with TVs and high top tables. Bartenders were nice and super friendly. We couldn't start our darts till after there pool league, but once they were done everyone was super friendly. My main review is for the food. We got the chicken quesadilla, garlic Parmesan wings and fries..and whewww..the food was Soo good. I'm pretty sure we're going back for the food before we head back to NY. It was just one woman running the whole food truck herself. She was amazing! I'd be back for sure for the food. The food truck is a must try!!

    Unusual location attached to an Exxon station in front of a KOA. Wonderful place for an afternoon stop. Prices are great, atmosphere friendly and welcoming. Nick the bartender chatted with each patron, even the new comers. Great outdoor patio, food truck and crowd participation activities almost every day.

    This is my bar tender. Amy.  Super friendly

    This is a great place. Staff is wonderful. Has great jukebox with every genre of music. You can even control it from your phone. Very large for a place that looks small from the outside. It's very clean, great clientele. Folk are very friendly and welcoming. Could use a few more TV's for sports but enough to satisfy. Don't think they have the NFL ticket do to the lack of TV's. Every Tuesday they have Texas Hold em Tournaments $10 buy in , Every Wednesday they have $5.00 blind draw Steele Tip dart tournaments, Thursday's are off nights as far as entertainment is concerned. Friday is Karaoke night at 9:00 and Saturday is live entertainment at 9:00. The age group of folks ranges so some nights could be college type crowd and other nights could be the 40 and over crowd. Most times it's a 50/50 mix. I have to say (is only 2nd time here, came for the poker tournament last night) seems the crowd is primarily male (1-5 ratio maybe which works for me personally being married and all). Why I could not give the establishment a 5 star rating is this...No kitchen. You CAN order pizza from a pizza joint in the plaza and Johns will take care of that but other than that, it's a watering hole. Another reason is, although they have a plethora of cornhole boards (bags are horrible - I was able to find 7 bags not broken sitbring your own) and you can play anytime you want, they no longer have tournaments. Would LOVE to see that come back. One last thing I think they could use is one or 2 ping pong tables for additional entertainment. All in all I really enjoy it here...Oh, DO NOT bring folks UNDER 21 years old. They don not let kids in here. Yesterday and today I came alone (without wife unfortunately) but hope to make some friends and just have a good time

    See all

    It's a great place to hang out and have a drink. Also a good atmosphere to get to know your new neighbors around the area

    My girlfriend and I decided to eat at Twin Peaks and overall had a really good experience. The…read moreatmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a sports lodge--tons of TVs everywhere so you can catch every game, but with that rustic outdoor theme too. Mounted game fish, moose, and deer heads give it that hunting-lodge vibe, which actually makes it a fun place to hang out and watch sports. We started with the Billionaire Bacon appetizer--six slices of bacon described as thick-cut, hickory-smoked and candied with brown sugar, red chile flakes, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cayenne. The flavor description was accurate, but the bacon itself really wasn't thick-cut and could've been much crispier. For the price, I expected better. If it had been thicker and crispy, it might've been worth it, but I probably won't order that again. My girlfriend ordered the Southwest Salad, and that dish absolutely delivered. It was a heaping portion topped with perfectly cooked sliced sirloin steak and shrimp, plus mixed greens, carrots, pico de gallo, roasted corn, black beans, pepper jack, and a jalapeño honey vinaigrette. She absolutely loved it. She also got a side of coleslaw, which was surprisingly delicious and a great addition to the meal. She paired everything with the Dirty Blonde beer, which definitely made up for the disappointing appetizer. I went with the naked garlic Parmesan wings and a side Caesar salad. Both were delicious. The wings were fried perfectly--crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside--and the flavor was spot on. I was very satisfied with them. Service was great as well. We actually had two servers because one was in training, and both of them were attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. Overall, I'd rate our experience a 4.5 out of 5. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all really good, and we had a fun time. If not for the underwhelming Billionaire Bacon, this would've easily been a full 5. We'll definitely be back--just skipping that appetizer next time.

I was seeing a movie in the area, so I popped in here with some friends to grab some food and drinks beforehand. I had no idea what to expect and I actually drove past it the first time as it keeps a very low profile and is easy to miss. Inside it was larger than it looked from the outside, complete with a stage for live music, a lot of seating, and pool tables as well! The bar is right by the entrance, and walking in most of the seats were taken by people who seemed to be regulars based on their banter with the bartender, my kind of place. Their food menu consisted of mostly your typical pub fare, and I saw the burgers coming out and they looked dang good so I went ahead and ordered the bacon cheeseburger. It came with a big knife in it along with the tots I ordered. I enjoyed the presentation. The burger was cooked very well, but the bacon was a little dry. Overall I enjoyed the food and vibe of this place and I would definitely come back in if I was in the area. I think to fully appreciate it I need to catch some live music one night!
