    Cheese curd burger

    Good comfort food Good service Staff are friendly Not many beer options They should add a steak to their menu Only saw one option and it was a sandwich

    Pot roast nachos

    Stopped in for dinner on a busy Saturday night. There were families in there with kids, a couple tables of adults and several people at the bar. We ordered drinks and asked our waitress about the menu. My boyfriend ordered pot roast nachos and I ordered a chicken Caesar salad. Everything was great. We would probably go again on a night that wasn't so busy because it was really loud but definitely good food and good drinks

    Came in tonight for the first time after deciding to try something new in town. To be honest read some reviews providing lower ratings for requiring masks at some time- will say I appreciate that in a business. First all the staff from what i saw was masked when among customers. Not just masked but wearing it properly. So many businesses in town dont - so kudos to the owner on doing the right thing. Now lets talk about the meal. I asked the server what she recommended- and she said the pretzel as a starter and offered a few other entrees depending on my tastes. Im a steak person so i thought id give the medallions a try. The pretzel was perfect. Honestly that alone was the highlight as one of the best ive had anywhere. Warm. Soft inside, and the side of cheese sauce was perfect. Not sure if the sauce is made in house but perfectly complimented it. Now for the entree the medallions were average. I got it medium rare- and although good wasnt as tender as i would have hoped. But for the price it was solid with a generous portion of blue cheese topping. Potatoes were good just needed more salt, and broccoli was perfectly cooked. Will be back - but will try another dish next time. Glad i found it- wish i tried sooner as their outdoor patio is small but comfy

    New to the neighborhood and this place was highly recommended by the sellers of our new home. McMae's did not disappoint! Love the atmosphere, it's got such a great Irish tavern vibe; Really clean too! The staff was super friendly, we had nice a conversation with our waitress. The beer list is awesome too! The food was awesome! They make everything in house, which is always a huge perk and exactly how it should be. We started with the appetizer sampler because we wanted to indulge and try a bit of everything. The chicken fingers were my favorite! For an entree I ordered the chicken pita with grilled sweet potatoes. Soooo delicious! We'll definitely be back!

    This place was great, the bar staff and DJ were great as well…read more However, some of the locals walking were a bit too tipsy and they were getting too friendly and disrespectful towards our wives after several times telling the local drunk that they were there with their husbands. The locals were still very aggressive towards us as if we were the ones being disrespectful. Before things got out of hand I had to approach those who were making the setting uncomfortable to know that we were just here having a good time. Things were okay. I live in the area and I would expect this kinda of behavior from the city but not from a suburban bar. C'mon on now, We were in search of a local bar that we could have a good time at. I was not expecting this type of behavior. To top it off I tipped in cash and left a tip on my cc cause the bartenders were good. Honestly, I did not see anyone else in that bar tipping the bartenders. The bar staff is great, just be careful with the locals.

    Prarie Station Pub... oh how many times I've passed thee, since the days of my youth three decades…read moreago, and never ventured in... no more! A friend and I finally stopped in for a drink and a catch up. Originally I went inside, which is pretty divey... ok, the whole place is divey (full disclosure: I like divey!). But we ended up going out back to their beer garden. It wasn't busy when we were there (weekday evening) so we were able to enjoy a nice and chill atmosphere. The drinks are relatively cheap and the staff was friendly to us the whole time - what more could you ask for from a dive bar?! While I can't say that it is like this all the time (I honestly wonder what Friday & Saturday nights are like...) I can say that we enjoyed ourselves. In the future I don't think I'll be rushing back here, but this was by no means my only visit to Prairie Station Pub.

Everything I've had has been fresh, flavorful, and consistently great. Their Friday night fish fry is easily some of the best around and is something I look forward to whenever I can make it in. What really sets Fatsoz apart for me, though, is the atmosphere.

It's a place where you can enjoy a great meal, relax, and feel at ease whether you're with friends or on your own. Great food, great patrons, awesome staff, and welcoming environment keep me coming back. If you haven't tried the fish fry yet, you're missing out!!

With the good food, the fantastic service and tge dive bar atmosphere I can say with certainty that we'll be back. Five stars.
