They are the absolutely BEST burgers I've ever had. Charbroiled with American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and onion. Excellent. The hotdog was huge, comes with fries and got a thumbs up from my BIL. My husband ordered the beefsteak sandwich with fries. It was very large and got rave reviews. The sliders were the star of the show. The runner up are the deep fried green beans. Large beans fried until crisp but still tender and juicy inside. Dipped in a side of ranch or ketchup makes a perfect appetizer.

Clearly a local spot, but staff was nice and showed us to the outdoor seating area. We asked what was good on the menu and overwhelmingly she stated the chicken done anyway. Boy was she right. Top chicken tenders I've had! Juicy, crispy, large portions too. My husband got the half chicken which was an insane amount of food while another friend got the quarter chicken. Definitely recommend the quarter for one. Fries, tots, curly or waffle, all excellent. The salad was weak but to be understood. Great deals on hard seltzer 5/$15 and a huge Bloody Mary! Dropping stars because while the signs for wearing a mask are up, there was no evidence anyone even had a mask available. No sanitizer albeit the place seemed clean enough. Bathrooms were not ideal though. They did have stalls set up for the slots... I recommend getting takeout or coming back after covid goes away!

After looking through some options decided to try Pub 64. My kids aren't very adventurous so they fought me a bit and wanted something they already know and like. Nevertheless, I was providing the transportation, and off we went. I had the "Not Your Momma's BLT," and my kids had a couple of Craft Burgers and a pork belly flatbread. I'm generally not generous with giving 5 star reviews, but the two kids eating the burgers (which have a heavy layer of cheese, a lot of bacon, and a fried egg on top) BOTH said that this was the best burger they had ever eaten. Seriously. These are teens and they were super impressed. The wait for the food was a tad on the long side, but the atmosphere in the restaurant was nice, with just the right amount of TV's. The waitresses were all super friendly and even entertaining to a degree. This all made the wait perfectly acceptable. It's a nice place to have to wait 5 extra mins for your food. I'll just say that. My BLT had a layer of pork belly, cooked very nicely and full of flavor, and was served with a layer of some kind of spicy mayo, which was outstanding. Honestly, it might have been the best sandwich I have had in years. It was downright amazing and had just the right amount of spice, and freshness and flavor. I can't wait to have it again. The boys both raved throughout eating their burgers. My 11 yr old couldn't finish his but wanted to bring the other half home to put in his school lunch on Monday. They both very much enjoyed their fries and I had the home made potato chips, which were very good (I don't usually like homemade chips!). My 16 yr old ordered a porkbelly Asian zing flatbread thingy that he said he very much enjoyed. I tried some of it and loved it. This joint is well worth a visit. I can't imagine someone not liking this spot. Their menu is somewhat limited, but I consider that a good thing. Although it's a somewhat smaller menu, there are plenty of things for kids and plenty of different items that look pretty good. We can't wait to go back and try it again. Considering it's the best sandwich I've had in years, and my two boys both rated it the best burgers of their lives, I can't give a rating below 5 stars! Additionally, they have a very nice selection of beer on draft. Some well known, reliable brews, and some local, craftier stuff. I was impressed. Very nice.

The menu showed 4 tacos, the menu said you get 3 and what I got were two slightly stale shells wrapped in tin foil with my entree. The service was good, but In my opinion the food was just average. I guess technically it's mostly a bar, in which case it's probably better than most. The atmosphere is casual, but for what we paid ($108 for 4 people and 1 appetizer) seems like a lot for what it is.

It has a lot more room than expected with enough space for live music. As for the drinks and food they're good stuff also. The prices can be high but it's not crazy for the atmosphere and quality. Basically this is one of the first places one encounters when entering town from the east. It's located in the Irish Cottage Inn & Suites. The hotel itself is very nice and has lots of amenities of its own if wanting to stay there. As for the restaurant itself it's one of the highlights. It's about $8 for an Irish coffee, which is a classic in the morning, evening, or whenever. Amazingly they have non dairy options including Bailey's Dairy Free Toffee Cream. It's about $18 or more for an entree which is a lot. We were able to find a few plant based options. I got the Roasted Squash Bowl. This has broccolini, farro, heirloom tomato relish, pickled red cabbage, and white beech mushrooms. An earthy flavor. She had the Vegan Shepherd's Pie. An alternative made with faux beef and mushroom gravy There's also plenty of meaty options like beef medallions. For sure it's one of the nicer restaurants around here. It's closed Mondays. They amazingly have a few things for vegans and vegetarians.

If I could give this review zero stars, I definitely would.. The first time I went there was with…read moremy sorority sister and we had a great experience. But I forgot to take pictures so I couldn't do a proper review. The next time I went, was to order takeout. I walked in with my 2 very small Yorkie girls Khloe'and Paisley who were in an enclosed dog stroller. I immediately said to the people at the bar (it was around 5pm) "Don't worry it's not a baby, it's just my dogs". One guy said that he didn't care. I went around to the left side of the bar near the bathrooms and Heather said to me "You can't be in here with them, you're going to have to leave them outside". I said "They're my emotional support animals and I'm allowed to take them wherever I go. I have a letter from my psychologist. She didn't want to see it. I said that I just wanted to order some food to go. She came over with her pad and pen. I said "Can I see a menu?" I was literally dumbfounded. I moved to this teeny tiny town (3,000) from my previous town of 70,000 people. There are no fast food restaurants, no Walmart or Target, one local grocery store. It's been quite a culture shock for me. Especially the people. Most of them are nice but Heather takes the cake in rudeness and being tacky. I placed my order and asked how long it would take and she said 10 minutes. I asked her what beers they had on tap and she pointed to the tap about 10 feet away. I really couldn't see even though I wear glasses. The only one that I could make out was Bud Light so that's what I got. She brought it over to me and it was nowhere near a full beer. I got fuller beers in college on quarter beer night!! Of course I didn't say anything. Then Heather put the container in front of me and said....."Here's your food" She just bat a thousand and I'm sure that she doesn't like baseball. Even though I just received the shittiest service out of all the places that I've been, I still gave her a tip. Which she didn't deserve. MY parents raised me better. Then when I got home, I opened the container and I was mad because I paid extra for french fries and the order was extremely skimpy. I spent $16 for a chicken sandwich, fries and half a beer on tap. The food was good but definitely not worth the price. DEFINITELY not worth it to endure the lack of customer service. I'll never go back to dine in or order food to go. I strongly suggest that you don't bother washing your time or money. There are other places that are much better. Check out my reviews on Google.
