The food was okay but did not really stand out. The cheese curd portion felt a little small, and the burger was fine but not particularly memorable. One thing that was hard to overlook was the strong air freshener scent when walking in. The same smell was in the bathrooms so it was just a bit off putting. I personally do not love that in a restaurant setting since it can compete with the smell of the food. Beer was also good! Overall, the service was the highlight of our visit. While the food did not wow us, we still had a pleasant experience.

A friend and I went here on a Thursday and it was empty inside. Had to have been a party of 3 old dudes getting ready to leave. You could tell they were regulars. No greeting when you enter and the lady (who I would later learn was the manager), looked like she was on her last straw and nerve. Type of person to be very mean and rude but would say they're not, they're just direct. Mmmmh! Wasn't a clean table in the table and took forever to get a menu and water. When I asked about happy hour that I saw advertised she simply pointed to the menu and said these without recognizing it was the regular drink menu with the regular prices. I simply ordered the chicken tenders and sweet potato fries. She swore to heaven that their honey mustard was bomb. I don't think this lady knew her elbow from her wrist. The sauce was ehh. The food itself was good but again it was bar food so I didn't expect much. I wouldn't return or anything. Absolutely not.

Indoors, the presence of a deejay made conversation a challenge, but a live singer/guitarist provided mellow background music for alfresco diners. The extensive list of beers on tap includes several selections brewed in-house. 4 oz. pours ($2.50) give hopheads plenty of latitude to create their own flight. On Thursdays, Red Barn drafts are $5. I enjoyed their Big Red Tractor IPA, a hearty thirst-quencher. Admittedly, the chow - heavy on American comfort foods, deep-fried or whatever - doesn't rival Michelin-starred eateries, but we enjoyed everything we ordered. For the health-conscious, the menu lists 7 entrée-size salads. Generous portions of food are served BBQ-shack style on paper-lined trays. We shared a fried green beans app (it was a bit heavy on the breading). Another Thursday deal that draws crowds is half-priced 16" pizzas. We weren't planning to order pizza, but how could we pass up their above-average tavern-style pizza with toppings for $14? Also earning enthusiastic thumbs-ups from our group were BBQ (pulled pork) quesadillas, various burger permutations including sliders, fish & chips, and a fried chicken sandwich. We waited long for our food to arrive, but our orders were accurate and everything was served at the right temperature.

I ordered the "kick ass grilled cheese with bacon" and the bacon was so rancid and fatty and undercooked that I gagged and choked on it!

I ordered a Long Island iced tea, and I could not even drink it, there must've been a half a bottle of gin in the drink. There was no way anybody could stomach that amount of liquor.

The other struggle will be with parking as this place is generally very packed during dinner hours. After several visits here, I've decided that the best way to order is to get large dishes to share with others. While, individual size servings are great -- there is a ton of spots nearby great for 1-2 people, but this spot does offer some nicely presented large dishes like bossam which are great for serving. I also find the seafood pancake to be a generous size with plenty of seafood and a nice crisp edge. These are definitely prepared with minimal seasoning, relying instead on an assortment of sauces to infuse the food with flavor. The bulgogi similarly, is tender and presented with lots of cabbage, more of a cold day comfort food instead of a seared version with thick sauce as you may find in other nearby locations. Definitely aim for some spicy dishes like the spicy pork bbq with mozzarella cheese if you're coming here, as the spicy options are on a different level of flavor and depth (similar to most Asian food you'll find in the area). Again, the meat is prepared very tender with an explosion of flavor. Overall, excellent food with excellent presentation and surprisingly affordable pricing. Probably one of the best values you'll find from a Yelp Top 100 US restaurant.

Now, the first time I stopped in here was in the 1990's, to watch a game and eat some burgers... and I didn't go back again until the mid-2000's, just once, for karaoke. I had little kids and didn't get out much, met up with some friends and made it a quick stop for the evening, since I had to work in the morning. Here we are, 2026, and I've been in a few times in the last few months. I've got to imagine you're wondering why I'm only giving it three stars, it's the ambiance, to be honest... there's something that isn't for everyone here. I like the place, a little dive bar and a bunch of regulars, but it's not super inviting and I guess that's the issue. The crowd is also a bit on the older side and it's generally pretty dead on the weekends. The food, though... the only thing I have had and wasn't all-in on was the Caesar Wrap, because it was an oil based dressing rather than creamy and it was very messy - everything else I've had (wings, burger, fries) have been quite tasty! Yes, I'll be back, I like the Saturday-Night karaoke, the bartenders and the food.

Honestly, as long as you order any kind of wings you'll be good. The meat was tender and succulent. -ice fruit punch bowl 5 - this is a good dessert at the end of a heavy meal but it is huge. Best to share this with 3 or more people. There is some ice cream inside that ice in the middle.

We were so happy with our lunch experience. The food was better than other Italian restaurants we have ate at. Service was great. Full disclosure. It was a Saturday late lunch and the place was basically empty. Our server started us off with a small loaf of warm Italian bread. Dipping sauce was olive oil with spices and tomatoes. It was heavenly! My husband ordered the Vodka Rigatoni with small asparagus pieces. He said it was better tasting than my homemade Vodka Rigatoni! And he was right! I ordered the Eggplant Salad. What a showstopper it is! It tasted as good as.it looked. The fried eggplant was sliced thin, breaded and fried. The salad included mixed greens, mozzarella slices and tomatoes.

We waited about 45 minutes for the food to come, my braciole was flavorless the stuffing didn't taste like anything the meat was tough and tasted boiled, the risotto underneath was Ok, only ate about 1/3 of the braciole, it truly awful. My wife's veal was inedible, very very tough, she couldn't barely cut it! The prosciutto on it was thick and overcooked, disgusting! We told the waitress who was sympathetic, said she would send the manager we never saw him instead she offered free dessert. Moral of the story! We left most of the food on the plates as it was inedible, worse $132.00 I have ever spent, we will not be back, I wouldn't feed that food to a dog!
