My husband & Cousin got the blacked blue cheese topped pork chops which was superb as usual. My husband's all time favorite. I got the honey glazed salmon which was wonderful. Both choices came with full salad bar with premium quality lettuce & 3 soup choices. Old fashions were tasty & I had a pink squirrel ice cream drink to top off the dinner. Unfortunately I missed taking pictures of our food but did take a picture of the very large tasty ice cream drink. As a side note if they have lasagna you should try it - homemade special family recipe that is very large & good.

The place was packed to the gills and a general feeling of hanger was permiating the air. The staff is primarily young people (high school or maybe college age) and our waitress didn't come back to check on us once after seating us. I will say the drinks were creative and delicious.

While the taste was 100% on point, half the food came out cold, I including the two $4 up-charged haystack onions. So disappointing. We asked for no pickle on one thing, no onion on another. Both came out with the ingredients we didn't want. We were charged for sauces (honey mustard and ranch) for the kids tenders when no one mentioned it being extra (shouldn't tenders COME with sauce?) NEVER asked if we wanted refills on drinks or checked on us. It was a Tuesday night and it took an hour and 5 minutes to get us our food. Yes we were a group of 9 but it was 3 kids and not that busy. Only seemed to be 2 waitstaff for the whole place. Just no attention paid to actual orders, and next to no regard for checking on guests. Again, the food was amazing, so I'm just hoping it was an off night. We'll visit again to verify.

When my fork proceeded past the delicate breading on my huge piece of cod (only $20!!), some of the delicious, white fish dropped to the bottom of my bowl where only onion rings resided. Jammed in tight next to an onion ring. I risked it all, bravely hooked the onion ring and the cod chunk (together!) on my fork, dipped it all in tartar sauce (you get 2), and ate it. What was the result? It was delicious so I did it again! I am thinking of getting French fries next time and deliberately hooking a fry and the cod together and dipping it in tartar sauce.

We sat there for 20 minutes without anybody acknowledging we were there. Perhaps they were understaffed, but at least offer us some drinks and say hey we'll get you as soon as we can. Then I went to the bar to get some drinks i waited there 10 minutes before someone showed up. Next the bartender never acknowledged me again and proceeded to cash out some tickets. After a total of 30 minutes, we decided to just leave. Our money wasn't good enough for them and we probably won't try to visit again. Plus, they're never open anyway.

It was a Friday night October 2025 and was very busy! The wait staff and bartenders were flying! We had parmesan cod and it was delicious! We also ordered a side of cheese curds. They were actually wedges and probably some of the best we've ever had! We saw an old menu and prices on-line so we were quite surprised by the hike in price. Our parmesan cod was $18. However it would not deter us from going again. The food and service was very good. By the time we left at 7pm it was standing room only. Definitely doing something right. Had a hard time paying our bill at the bar because it was extremely busy. I think like all restaurants now it's hard to find help, you just need to pack your patience.
