Walked in the "back door". There is street parking but also a parking lot behind the building…read more First impression was that it was very clean, lots of options for sitting, booths, bar stools, high tops and a couple low tops. Server told us we could sit wherever which we did and then she promptly brought us menus and took out drink order. We were not in a hurry so when she returned we weren't quite ready she was super friendly about it and returned later to finish taking our order. We ordered personal pizza, tator tots, chicken Philly sandwich and a burger. Pictures attached. Food was hot when served and was very good. We were looking for a place to sit and relax and talk for a while without feeling rushed and this was just the place for that. They had a pool table available as well as a stage area for live music.

I haven't visited many bars in the area, but this strikes me as a nice one. The decor, booth and…read morebar are all very nice. They have a main seating area, a second seating area (which is where bands play when they have a band)and a new patio (I'm not sure they use the patio for seating for dining). We've been 3 times. I had the ribeye twice and thought it was very good. Both times it came out the right temp (medium well for me). I don't know if they use a rub or just season it well but it has a great taste. Also very little excess fat, which is uncommon for ribeyes around here. The baked potato is also cooked right. The other side I've had is a side salad which is just the normal side salad. The other time here I had a pizza on a cauliflower crust which I didn't like at all. I had a friend who highly recommended it, I'm just not used to that kind of crust, I guess. My wife has been getting the fried fish and likes it. She doesn't care for the hush puppies - she says they are too dense. They seem to have a lot of servers for as small of a place as it is. So service is usually pretty good. Last time our server had a couple of tables with friends and spent a lot of time talking with them instead of watching her other tables. It's hard to get good help these days, I guess. I think this is one of the better places to get a steak in the immediate area, and I'd recommend it.

Scanning the food places we picked this because it seemed to have decent ratings and a lot of reviews. Plus, you get go wrong with good ol' American cuisine. The first kind of hiccup is that they must have recently moved building. Though they moved right next to their existing building, there was no signage and we had to rely on our own eyeballs. Which almost led us into the wrong building. Not a bid deal, realistically, but it threw us for a loop. Getting inside, it was super clean. Long bar, plenty of tables, modern, many tvs for many sports. Plus, the building itself seemed rather large. A chonker of a building, if you ask me. Our hostess brought us into what seemed like the back 40 of the building and seated us next to a garage door that overlooked a cement pad that will one day be a cement pad with things on it. Not even mad. Saw a train. Here's the money shot. Have you ever been happy adjacent? Have you ever been right up to the edge, the precipice, the peak, then turn around and leave? That was kind of the ideal feeling here. The ambiance and service and general-ness of the entire place was spot on. The food itself looked top-tier. But it felt a click away from perfection. Let's look into it. As a hefty man (fat, not the garbage bag brand), I'm a man of appetizers. Also of wings. Therefore, sign me up for 12 bone in wings for an app. Split into three flavors: Carolina BBQ, Buffalo, and regular BBQ. They came out looking and smelling delicious. The sauce flavors hit hard. But I was a little let down with the dryness of the wings. I know sometimes it can be difficult to knock a wing out of the park because those damn things just want to get crispy. But I don't want to fight chewing the meat off the bone. It felt like a battle me and my mush mouth would lose. Now, from what I understood, all sides were a la cart. Color me fine with that, fatty will order anyways. Especially since I saw they offered street corn AND hushpuppies. So naturally, that's what I ordered. The hushpuppies came out and were the round kind. Which I am no stranger to. They had good flavor, good done-ness, but missed the mark on the size. If they were hush people, they would have been premies. A little sad they didn't get to experience their full potential. Now, for this part I will say I was forewarned. My server did mention the street corn came in a bowl and was served cold. I thought I was better than somebody who judged street corn by its temperature. I was wrong. It did come cold. And because of that, it was not tasty. Missed the mark completely. I did get a bonus side, your typical, run of the mill French fry. They came out and looked great. Meadiu
