    This restaurant caters to the loud and the drunk. Worst dinner experience in years. We will not go back.

    Friday night the Walleye special, the pan-fried or broiled are so good and a nice change from the deep fried version.

    Cutest place below a quaint hotel. The servers were amazing and made our event for 20 so special…read more Doris made extra efforts to ensure everyone was treated like family. She helped guide our menu choices and made my son's graduation dinner a truly memorable night. We loved the chicken and pulled pork with a lovely tamarind sauce on the side. Just spicy enough to be interesting with the ability to kick it up a notch if you want. We will come back! Thanks for a wonderful meal and experience.

    I went there twice on a recent vacation. Family member considers this "the only sit down restaurant…read morein town" which says something since there appear to be two sports bars right next door. As far as parking, there is street parking right off the road in front of the restaurant/strip. This was almost always taken, though more was available with a walk. Not clear where other parking would be to me nor their website. Our second visit we parked across the street at the library/police station and did not get ticketed. Yelp says they have validated parking but I am suspect of this fact but for us didn't matter. First visit ordered a bunch of pizzas for a party. They were good and big as advertised however expensive. Their pies are mostly flat rate and the toppings just add on to the price. I generally find pizza purchased this way to be more expensive as well however a lot of places do it this way. Without comparing literally, I'd say their normal pie was about the equiv of an XL and their small was about the equiv of a medium. Pizza was steaming hot when we got it and by the time we got home was the perfect temp (for me). Was consumed with due appreciation. While I do think it was good, as far as comparing price vs deliciousness, I mathed out the same pizzas (ignoring exact size difference) vs Albany Pizzaria would be about 50% more from here. Having been to both places, I do not think the pizza was 50% better and the locals agreed. Also, maybe coincidentally, a number of the party goers had stomach issues the next 24 hours. That could have been anything (other foods were shared as well as just human contact) but it makes me wary against 5*. My final ding was, while I generally love pizza crust, this ones seasoning was meh to me. I have an aversion to onion (minor allergy?) and I wonder if there was some in there. As far as the second visit, we did a sit down which was also 4* IMO. The entrance opens into a small waiting area (where we picked up the pizza) with a clear sign to wait to be seated. We were seen fairly fast but told to seat ourselves and they'd come take our order. The menu actually says you order up front and they bring it to you, not sure if this changed and the menu was dated or we were special tbh. Still looking for that replacement perfect bbq place, I ordered the 3 meat plate (ribs, brisket, pulled pork). I was boggled why you cannot substitute fries into the sides. The waitress/host tried to explain it but I still don't get it. So your sides are "limited" even though they have them on the menu. Chips and queso are also sold seperate, so if you want both that's 2 sides. I went with coleslaw and mac&cheese both were good. The mac did not sell me enough to future try their mac bowls but it wasn't bad. I also got a cranberry juice which came in the bottle. This unspokenly said no refills but also that I was paying $3 for the bottle, which is one thing I don't like about people just bringing me a bottle of something. Anyway, the ribs were great, I'd probably get a rack next time, the brisket was good and the pulled pork was super dry and not good IMO. The sauce did make up for it a little but I had 3 meats to distribute it between. Good BBQ I've heard and believe the meat should stand alone. My SO got a burrito mojado with barbacoa and liked it. Also got the (limited) hibiscus lemonade and liked that too, apparently could tell which is good. Cost $4. Since no drink refills, we only saw our server three times, food delivery, one checkin and once to buss. Payment was in the front as well; we had to ask. Their website at time we went said closed Sunday but the hours here did not. I called and they were open so I'd trust here vs the website tho they may fix it. Close hours were early for me but it's a small town :) Very few people besides us too and many left before we even got our food. Maybe we just eat late. Anyway, no stomach issues on the second visit, but all in all a few things (described above) left it shy of 5* for my tastes.
