It's a small bar with warm wood all over: the paneling,floors bar area and just about everything else. We went for lunch at noon on a Sunday. Before long the place was crowded. The burgers we ordered were delicious- a peppercorn burger and a garlic burger. We shared a basket of onion rings which came out piping hot and tasty. The prices are very reasonable there are a couple of TV's to watch sports on and of course a full bar plus beers on tap or bottles. Prices are very reasonable. Great local dive bar atmosphere.

When I got there they were ready to pack up and that was nice. It is a small bar, but very loud asked for the buffalo sauce on the side and everything we needed was in the bag, including ketchup for the fries. The wings were great! Fresh chicken, crispy and juicy. The fries were average crinkle cuts, hence losing a star. But we will definitely be back for more wings in the future.

This review is based on an online carryout pickup order…read more I walked in and waited a few minutes for someone to acknowledge me - the bartender then snagged my name - she handed me my order and told me have a great day! The inside was clean and had a nice vibe - the outdoor dining area was full at 115 pm on a Thursday. I ordered a burger for 14 and the short rib mac for 20 - for the portion sizes it is a little pricey however the food is phenomenal! The short rib was tender and smoky with a sweetness - the mac and cheese were creamy and perfectly seasoned - the onions on top added a nice crisp touch that pulled everything together. The burger was perfectly seasoned - but a little pricey since there were no fries included - could at least include chips for free. All in all, I will be back to try some of their other menu items and to dine inside.

This place has tons of parking which is free. The pricing for mini golf was really good better than anywhere else - unlimited and two different 18-hole courses (I will say the courses itself could use an upgrade - new paint or adding some objects to the course to make the established holes a bit more challenging. We paid 9 dollars per person. The driving range was also pretty cheap for buckets of balls - it would be a fun afternoon to bring the dads for driving range, the kids for mini golf and the moms can eat food and hang or enjoy the range as well. The food looked good, but we did not partake - the drinks were decently well priced - a can of beer 3.50 - a sway was 6 bucks. They have free concerts every now and then at their art installation, which is pretty cool, I also think it's cool how they do 5 buck Mondays. The staff was nice enough, my only complaint is the grass was a little overgrown, so we got ate up with chiggers and skeeters.

Fairly priced for sure, and I'll likely come back for another. One thing that did throw me off was that the server brought me a draft beer when I had asked for a bottle. I expected better there, especially since the place was not busy at all. I still drank it and moved on. Outside of that, charging full price for soda water is pretty ridiculous, but I'll give you a pass on that poor business practice. Maybe the server was new or making up her own rules. Overall though, the burger alone will probably bring me back since you comfortable seating.

The lunch and dinner menus are the same but they have a variety of daily specials. We kept it simple for lunch: a hamburger with fries and a veggie burger with Saratoga chips. The burger was big and tasty but the veggie patty didn't have much taste and the texture was too soft. It's not something I would order again. A soft drink and a beer (the place is also a brew pub) ran up a bill of $40. It's primarily an Italian place but there are several non-Italian choices from Fish & Chips to Rueben sandwiches. It has a nice, cozy ambiance and service was prompt and courteous. It could easily become my local hangout except it's just a little too far from my home. That being said I do plan to revisit and try some of their Italian fare. Free parking on the street or in their lot. Full bar.
