These were more like a steak fry cut than wedges, but man alive were they good. An actual fresh cooked sweet potato. I choose that option often and these were the absolute best I have ever tasted. The burgers were excellent though they use leaf lettuce instead of iceberg. I took the barrel sauce on the side. It is a spicy ketchup aioli and went well on the burger and for dipping potatoes. I also got some mayo on the side, happy to report no charge on that as some places do. The Reuben balls were out of this world. Plenty of meat, cheese and kraut with the proper amount of crunchy breading. I could even taste caraway so it was just like mini hot Reuben sandwiches. All the above food items are highly recommended. Looking at the redesigned menu it seems they want to stress restaurant over bar which is as it should be with this quality of food. The atmosphere would be enhanced in my opinion if the staff dressed up a bit. They were all extremely casually dressed. The main dining room is all tables; if you want a booth there are a few at the rear of the bar side. They have a good sized outdoor space, but a view of Central Avenue in Middletown does not really grab me. There were a lot of people dining outside. Our waitress was very enthusiastic about the food - with good reason- and answered many questions. She checked on us appropriately though the food was delivered by other people. I don't like that practice. There was one wrinkle, my husband wanted the baked potato but his burger showed up with fries. The correct item came shortly, with apologies, and we got to keep the fries too! We will gladly return and you should too.

If you like dives, then you might want to check this place out. I stopped in on a Saturday…read moreafternoon after attending to some business in Middletown. The place is a block or two off the main road, in a light industrial area. The building itself looks like an old house. It is very dark in there (disorienting at first) with a long bar and some tables. On Saturday afternoon, it was bumping - there were patrons at the bar and at some tables, and they were having a good time. Everyone here knows everyone else. This is the kind of place that serves Natural Light in a can. I didn't notice any draft beer, just liquor and beer in bottles/cans. Cheap drinks. I was hoping to eat, because the one other review mentioned food (and it was on the sign) but I saw no evidence of food...no one else was eating, there were no menus, etc. I didn't ask about it; had a beer or two, listened to some others chat, watched some basketball, and took off. No one was smoking in here, but you will come out smelling like smoke. It is divey, but there's nothing wrong with it. If divey is what you're into, check it out.

The bartender greeted us as we walked in & made us feel right at home. We found a table & placed our soft drink order. They brought us each a can of soda pop with a glass of ice. My husband didn't want wings so he ordered a 3 topping pizza (pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms). I tried a slice of his pizza & didn't like the canned mushrooms. He liked it though. I ordered 12 hot garlic parmesan wings & they were delicious. The celery & blue cheese with my wings was good. We will definitely eat here again on a Thursday evening for more 50¢ wings.

Places located in a strip mall while it did have good reviews it was in a seemingly seedyD edge of town. It's been my experience anytime you're near a convenience store that has those weird LED lights strong about the windows it's not the best area but I digress. The parking lot is super weird and it seems like you just kind of Park wherever you want there's no real method and it seems like they lose out on about 15 parking spots because it's not painted. The place is decorated rather nicely and they have a lot of Bourbons I really enjoy Corona na but nobody seems to carry it and this place was no exception so I had a Stella na instead. My wife and I were not famished so we both ordered a pretty simple house salad and we split a plate of chicken tenders which came with fries and coleslaw. You really can't screw up a salad too badly and they did pretty good here the chicken tenders were way overcooked chicken should not be that tough and you can tell by the breading that it was a lot darker than it was supposed to be but I still ate it. Not that it wasn't inedible I just wish it was not cooked as long. Pretty good portion of french fries coleslaw seems like it was standard food service coleslaw. Although I'm not drinking anymore they did have a whole boatload of Bourbons which in my younger days I probably would have tested quite a few of them so their name is true to the inventory. Music was a tad loud I kind of wish they had the ami jukebox where you can take it over and play your music either that or put the baseball game on something like that. Only reason for four stars was the overcooked chicken tenders. Decent place.

I don't eat hot dogs very often but this was very good. Two decent sized dogs and a bag of chips for $13, I think. The tacos were 3 for $10. The tortillas were filled with enough chicken and cheese and other things to fill me up. I was full. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Next time maybe we will order burgers.
