The dining area is open, with a good assortment of high top and low top tables, and the chairs were cushy & comfy. Everyone in our group of four was very happy with their meals, which consisted of a mushroom & swiss burger with fries, southwest chop salad, chicken bacon ranch salad, and Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The prices were very reasonable, too. We'll definitely stop in again the next time we're in the area.

As soon as we walked in we saw everyone turn around. Seemed like a cool local bar. We got cash from the ATM and then found our way to the bar (far end). We sat down and the bartender was chatting with patrons at the corner. She turned and looked at us, but then turned away and continued talking to the patrons at that end of the bar (at the "L"). She then turned and looked at us again and the guy setting at the very end got up and went to the restroom. He returned and she looked at us a third time. After that we got up and left. I wish we'd gotten some food. I bet it would be good. The service was terrible/non-existent.

Guess I didn't read the description before I came out to this place because I was very surprised…read morewhen I entered and the host wanted our credit card instead of seating us at a table first. You get a beer card which is linked to the credit card you provided upon check in and then you go to the wide range of taps on the wall and fill up your glass. There's a little variety in the sizes and types of glassware to choose from. You are charged by oz, and the price is clearly displayed on the signage. I thought it was going to cost us much more to do it this way instead of sitting down and ordering a drink but we think it actually ended up being cheaper to drink this way. We decided to take a seat outside on the patio. It's a large area with games and plenty of different types of seating. You order through the QR code on the menu and your food gets delivered to your table. It came out fairly quick and we were hungry so we ordered way too much food. We tried the Mediterranean Chicken Flatbread which was really good and I highly recommend just getting that! Had the Mediterranean Salad. A nice sized portion and very fresh. Tried the 12 pc boneless wings. I don't normally like boneless wings but that is all they had. So we tried them. Not impressed. Very thick breading, no outstanding flavor. These felt like bar food, which is okay. It is a bar but in comparison to our delicious flatbread I was disappointed. Lastly we tried the Garlic Parmesan Cheese Curds. These were unlike any cheese curd I've had before. They were huge squares which felt like hunks of bread. I though they were too big and too cheesy for my tastebuds. It was a nice place to stop in while we were traveling through and a great day to sit out on the patio.

The prime rib sandwich was really QUITE good, but the chicken gizzards were so overcooked they were basically inedible. The Western burger was pretty good, but the "boneless wings" sure looked like food service chicken nuggets and tasted as bland as that sounds. Overall, I guess we are about 50/50 on the good food/bad food ratio. If we had a little more confidence in the food we'd probably dine there more often, but worrying that every meal will be a quality crapshoot makes us a little hesitant to keep trying.
