This particular time I have to give the bartenders/ waitress's/cook a big shout out for their patience, and hard work. A group came in and said they had a 6 top coming that turned into at least 14.

Of course I was one of three dancing but the DJ played good music so I couldn't help it. T-shirts are only $12, Tito's and soda was around $4, and pool was a dollah.

Many folks around town have raved about this little restaurant bar so we gave it a shot. Service…read moreupon entering was welcoming, many open tables and lots of seating options. The bar was quiet, calm, dark and cold but seemed like a chill vibe. Our waitress was okay, service was quick and she did her job well but didn't smile and wasn't very talkative or seemingly friendly. We asked what her favorite appetizers were and we ordered the Loaded Potato Balls based on her recommendation - they were great! 10/10! Loaded with flavor, very moist and served with 3 sauces - ranch, spicy ranch and sour cream. The ranch and spicy ranch were not great - tastes like they're bottled not homemade. The sour cream though, that was a good compliment. We both ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich - 10/10! They're hand breaded, juicy and tender chicken breasts topped with lettuce, tomato and mayo on a perfectly warm brioche bun. Our meal was served so hot, it was perfect. I would absolutely go back just for this sandwich! The homemade chips for the side were great, crispy and lightly seasoned. I had the tater tots with mine and they tasted freezer burnt, wouldn't get them again. We also had a side of their house made coleslaw and it was perfect, ice cold and a great balance of flavor. Draft beer wasn't super cold - it would be better served in a frosted glass. Overall- it's good, we'd come again! Next time we'd sit at the bar top as the bartenders seemed to enjoy more casual conversation and friendly vibes with their customers.

I don't drink alcohol but the bartender was extremely nice and made me a virgin drink that tasted amazing!! Most everyone in the bar were locals and regulars and knew we were from out of town.

The strawberry salad dressing was delicious too, although the chicken on it was a little tough and dry. The fish and chips were great too. The fries are the beer-battered with a crispy outside, which is my favorite type of fry, and the fish was cooked well too. It's decorated so cute in here for the holidays. I love the bows they put on the lights and how they line the shelves with decor! It definitely adds to the cozy vibe. Our server Jennifer was great too. She matched the ambiance perfectly with a confident, relaxed vibe. Very attentive and honestly one of the better servers I've had this holiday season. One update from my earlier visits: prices have definitely crept up a bit, and they now add a fee for card transactions. Not my favorite surprise at the end of the bill, especially at a place like this. That said, there's still a ton of variety on the menu with plenty of options, plus some more upscale entrées if you're feeling fancy!

Been here a few times and the food was usually good. Not today - I had a buffalo chicken wrap and…read moreit tasted like I was eating breaded chicken tenders that were microwaved (that's how tough the chicken was) I finally gave up halfway through my wrap. My Son got the Sunrise Burger, which was slightly under cooked. Our server never came and asked if we needed drinks or to check on us until she saw the card on the table to pay. Another thing that was strange was the hostess walked by while I was talking to my Son and (i assume it was a piece of trash she grabbed off of the table) but did it so quickly it was odd because 1 -I was unsure of what she did at first and 2-her hand was super close to my plate ...... No concern from the server until AFTER she took my payment and asked if I needed a box.... Nope, no thanks - asked if she wanted me to take it off the bill - I told her not to bother because why bother after it had been paid for??? She apologized and I told her it was not her fault she did not cook it - her response (as she is laughing) "you're right I didn't!" I will not be going back anytime soon

Let me begin by saying the Trap is NOT a place for everyone. In fact, I believe it is a place…read morewhere very few people would actually be comfortable. It defined the term "den of iniquity" in my mind. But all the same, I tend to love it there. A few notes on why I love the Trap. 1. It's cash only, paid up front. So if things get sketchy, you just walk away. Which is probably going to happen sometimes. 2. You won't be the drunkest person there. Just trust me on this one, you won't be. 3. Overt profanity in every way; every single way. 4. A decent group of regulars who keep things interesting. 4. Bartenders that won't steal from you. Unless you turn your head, then they will rob you blind; but who turns their head at a place like this. 5. A post apocalyptic outdoor area that you can smoke just about anything in. 6. Bikers (see #1) 7. $1.50 beers during the day If the above sound like something you just have to see for yourself, then I highly recommend it. If you have ever gone to Applebee's on your own volition, I'd plan to stay as far away as you can.

My all-time favorite bar…read more Happy hour was my thing. Didnt like the loud cover band who played "Play That Funky Music Whiteboy" multiple times a night on Fri-Sat nights. Leinenkugel Cream Dark on tap and Sports on TV. Dave, who helps run the place is a cool dude. They even had a Guitar Hero contest there one night. It was hilarious to see no talent nerds battling it out like their lives depended on it. Havent been there in a long time. Hope its still the same

The sign by the road touts "Sandwiches and Spirits." Exactly what I was looking for (that and a…read moreplace that wouldn't mind my arriving in slightly soiled hunting clothes), so I pulled in. Very clean inside with friendly service and a tap beer selection that's basic but probably has something to suit most folks. I went for the Stone IPA. I ordered a turkey reuben. The sandwich was a little light on meat and a little heavy on some too--creamy coleslaw. The bread stayed crisp at least, and wasn't overly greasy. Good enough for a pit stop, and a nice laid back alternative to Birch Run's chain restaurant offerings over toward the outlet mall.

Unfortunately, this wasn't great. I always want to see small local joints do well ( I am a huge fan…read moreof local hangouts) but in this case there just wasn't a whole lot that stood out. The positive was the staff the Bartender/Waiter was very sweet and nice tried to make everything just right. The restaurant itself is very clean and I bet the outside is amazing during warmer months. This was Veterans Day weekend and they did get quite busy so the time it took to get our food was very long but I had good company so it was fine. However the food was just lacking it looked quite appetizing but just lacked any flavor. The olive burger was very bland and my burger was dry and charred, my sister had a Reuben and although I do consider her a Reuben snob, she is picky, but I agreed with her the meat was very dry. My husband had the Rodeo burger which he enjoyed but said it wasn't worth the price. We visit this area all the time since I have family there, but I'm not sure I would give this place another shot if given the chance.
