    Cheese burger
    Janine H.

    It's pretty slow on week nights so you'll be seated quickly and service will be good. Now Friday night is a different story. It was packed which meant service was slower. Apparently one of the bartenders left early so the bar was backed up and drinks were inconsistent. The food is your typical American cuisine.

    Located off 256 which is north hill rd., getting to the parking lot was a little confusing at night. Once we got to the lot there was a ton of parking. Its a chain restaurant so its ambiance is: it looked like every other location we have visited. Lots of wood. There is a bamboo-ish like wall. Its vibe is pleasant. Our server was Christa. She was super helpful and attentive. We came in for burger week. Didn't even look at the menu For 8 bucks you got a very thick burger with gouda, bacon, Ltop and pulled pork. Good deal. No. Excellent deal. It was pretty filling. I couldn't finish it. What was nice was you could get it cooked the way you wanted it, which now a days hardly happens. What was nicer is it actually came out the way we wanted it medium rare. That was very nice. Fries came with the burger. Ours were cold, so Christa brought us a fresh batch. They were the batter covered fries. Pretty good! Apparently they have a reward program. So if you are thinking of going download that first. We dont often do reward programs so we passed, but it seemed like if you were to frequent this restaurant it would be worth doing. Three stars mainly due to fries being served cold. Even second batch was a bit cold. Burger was very good, but not extraordinary. Still solid. A bit too thick for my liking but that is totally personal preference. Staff was what made this restaurant enjoyable. Christa was flat out excellent.

    The customer service is great, our server was very friendly. For food, we got a little bit of everything. Over all food was a 5-6/10 Nice ambiance, it was clean.

    I was house and fog sitting in Canal Winchester and went by MacKenzie River in Pickerington. I tried their Meatloaf Dinner. It was so delicious. The service and ambiance was so nice. I just took time to check the decor. It was so relaxing. Then, I tried the Carrot Cake.

    Came here on a Saturday night with mum. Lost a star because I didn't see anything I wanted on the appetizer. Turns out didn't need one the proportions are big. My burger was good. Mum liked hers too. Soccer on the tvs was good energy. The service was nice, next time I'll try a pizza or a salad.

    This is my local spot for great food when I'm feeling lazy. I've tried a few different things off…read morethe menu and I haven't been disappointed. My fave is the fish and chips, hands down the best I've had. The Cajun seasoning you can get on a burger will elevate it to the next level. A must! Service is always great whether we sit at a table or the bar.

    I always start with the cleanliness of the establishment. To me that means just as much as the…read morequality of the food. This place had very clean carpet flooring, plus restrooms were very clean as well. This place had a family feel to it, almost like home. The service was great, even had a server that had a trainee that was training at our table. This is an example of a place that cares about a good curriculum of hands on training. Very good customer service. Even had the manager come check in on us and took our to go order for us. So service an A+. Food was great, burger that I ordered came just how I like, was a plain burger. No fanciness to it, no steak knife jammed in the middle, no 6" tall mound, just a plain, good ol' fashion backyard burger. Yum! Wings were cooked great, seasoned with a hot nashville rub. Chicken tenders were plump, and hearty for something so simple off the menu. My son enjoyed them. The fish n chips came out with 2 huge filets of battered fish. My wife had to take the rest home. All in all, not a bad spot to stop and enjoy good food. Not loud at all like most bar n grills. Place almost had an 80's family feel to it. I think the carpeted floors played a part in that nostalgic feel for me. I need to bring my folks here next time they are in town. Will definitely be returning soon.

    If you are from the area this is a staple restaurant spot in Canal Winchester (other locations is…read morein Athens & Heath). The staff is always welcoming & you can tell that it's a family. Food is good. Never have a bad meal just sometimes doesn't sit well with me. We frequent here so you know it's a good time. Parking is mainly street around the corner. Town in small with local shops. Never been during evening times so keep that in mind.

    I was super excited for this place, but I didn't even get to eat. On arrival we were told to seat…read moreourselves, 5 minutes later we were told someone would be with us soon, so far so good. Then we waited for 20 minutes. We didn't even get menus. Two tables were seated after us and were already ordering when we decided to give up and try another place. I don't like assuming people are prejudiced. I want to believe our server just happened to overlook the one table of brown people because they're a teenage girl going through a hard time. So that's what I choose to believe. I just hope the place shapes up, because someone else might not have taken it as well as we did. On the bright side, the staff seemed friendly (when we left, two servers near the entrance told us to have a nice day) and the dishes at the tables around us looked really good. I hope to come back and successfully try that chicken noodle soup someday
