    Nice dive bar, new ownership, great bartenders and good food in the kitchen. Be sure to ask for Amish, best shot maker around.

    The best dining option probably within a square 20 miles. Was staying in Chillicothe and glad we…read moredecided to come here for dinner 2 nights in a row. Once inside and once outside...the food was fantastic. Definitely get the frilled shrimp inside a carved out oineapple...my all time favorite. Also had the shrimp roll, lettuce wraps and parmesan whitefish. All top notch. Dinner service both nights was incredibly quick..we ate and were having our tables cleared in under 45 min....and got sat right away even on Labor Day Weekend with no reservations....though it was pretty busy. TBH the community doesn't deserve a spot this good, and we were lucky enough to search it out and find it! Do yourself a favor and hit this place up if you're in the region...everything else qround doesnt even compare.

    Ambience 5 stars. The weather was perfect after a week of high temperatures and humidity. We sat…read moreoutside on the deck close to the parking lot. Across the road is the Illinois River. Service 5 stars. Waitress did not rush us and answered various questions about the drink menu offerings as well as the food menu. A lot of appetizers to choose from. The manager or owner stopped by the table twice. Not exactly sure who he was as he didn't introduce himself. Just asked how we were. Food 3 stars: I settled on the fish and chips. I liked the light breading on the mild fish and it wasn't greasy. The sauce was great too. Coleslaw was lackluster and the side of fries were seasoned; however, they were not crisp and were flaccid. The other guests said the same thing about the fries. Overall the food could have been hotter in my opinion, The others had the Tenderloin, a burger and Caribbean chicken sandwich. Fries are the side that is included with the sandwiches. A blackberry mule, blueberry lemon martini. Arnold Palmer, Pepsi and MGD bottled beer were the drinks ordered by the guests.

    Rustic and an "old feel" to the place gives it a unique atmosphere…read more The food is good, and the employees are friendly and polite. I've been here several times and have tried their Prime Rib - which is only served on Friday and Saturday nights, and have also had their Bone-In Ribeye. Both are good. They have an assortment of desserts that are worth checking out.

    Friends of ours told us about this place but we've never been because we're not in Farmington very…read moreoften. It was well worth the 40 minute drive and we'd recommend it too. A real local family restaurant with the feel of a Wisconsin supper club. We didn't have any brandy old fashioned's but our cocktails were served in mason jars. We had the combo appetizer which includes your choice of three of the various options (mostly fried). We had the mozz logs (mozzarella sticks), bullets (jalapeño poppers) and clams. The clams were by far the star of these options. The house salads were basic but served on chilled plates with homemade dressings that you don't see much of anymore and they were perfect. We ordered chicken alfredo, raviolis with meat sauce and the walleye. Chicken alfredo was not your cookie cutter dish found anywhere, it was generous on chicken and plenty of flavor other than the sauce. The walleye was two nice size pieces that were thicker and more like mass produced cod filets. I'm more of a fan of the thinner filets that curl up when they're fried but the flavor and batter were perfect. The star of the entrees was the ravioli with meat sauce. I'm sure this is how Nonne Scapecchi built her following when they opened over 25 years ago (We think she's the one who greeted us and showed us to our table). Be sure to save room for one of their homemade desserts too. We shared their butterfinger cake and it was delicious. Our server, Tina, was very friendly and accurate with her advice about our menu questions. Bring your cash or use their ATM in the bar for $3 despite what Yelp says on this listing they're cash only. No need for reservations unless you're a party of six or more. We'd recommend this place too if you're looking for something off the beaten path and local with homemade items throughout the menu. We'll definitely be back!
