THE BEST steak and prime rib in town without a doubt! Great burgers with a good variety to try! Good garlic butter pasta. The best steamed and buttered broccoli you'll ever have in your life! Nice big portion of spaghetti with meatballs. The meatballs are big and juicy. Good fried pickles. Good beer and drink options. Skilled bartenders. Very very very clean looking behind the bar always. No sticky bar, no dirty cups piled up, no fruit flies, no gummy soda guns, no stale beer smell, no dusty bottles.... very nicely kept. The only disappointment/thing I don't like on the menu is the little frozen premade beer fish fry. They're such a great restaurant, I think they should do their own big hunk of beer battered fish fry dinner instead at least for lent. My 2023 review issues have all been resolved! Yay! I highly recommend them!

Came on a Thursday evening for dinner at the recommendation of the hotel. Upon arriving, it is immediately recognized to be a dive bar. I was all for it. Two of us were quickly seated at a booth. We ordered a couple beers, jack daniels bbq wings, and the Thursday surf and turf dinner meal. The dinner meal came with a soup, salad, or veggie and a potato (for which they had almost 10 options from baked, mashed, and various fries). The wings were a great size but lacked in enough sauce that they almost tasted plain. The steak was ordered medium and came out rare (we were fine with it too). The steak was completely unseasoned, just cooked meat. We ordered Cajun seasoning on the shrimp and pretty sure they, too, were plain with no flavor. The mashed potatoes and gravy were good. Service was just OK as well.

Now it's our favorite. American with a fusion. Amazing tempura fish tacos with slaw last time. Today we had a pulled pork with grilled pineapple over rice with an Asian leaning any red blooded American would love. Great Mac and cheese with Chinese Gen Tsaos chicken on it or orange chicken. Great pairings. So refreshing to not have things from the deep frier all the time. Best appetizers are the pierogies with bacon and sour cream. Heads up cash is cheaper. Card clearly stated costs 3% more. They have an ATM in their dining area. It's not overpriced. Most meals are the same as Hometown restaurant across the street. They have a whole other side of dining you don't see when you walk in. Would be great for a large gathering. I

It's more of a cozy friendly dive bar without a nice view like halfway inn, but the halfway in wings, fries, and staff don't hold a candle to 3rd base! The wait staff and management at 3rd base are what make it a Cheers type vibe. Don't sleep on it or be fooled by the unassuming outside. The place is dated, but very clean, fast, super welcoming, exceptional at what they do, a well oiled machine, and delicious! My mouth is watering and I can smell the wings and Cajun fries vividly in my memory while I write this. I'm kicking myself for driving by without trying them for forever. I'm addicted now!

Our meal started out with side salad with vinaigrette, dinner rolls, mini muffins and butter. Next came our turkey dinner that included both dark and white meat, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, carrots & cranberry sauce. The portions are extra large & my to go container looked like I didn't touch my meal. Then came dessert and as full as I was I still had to try some. It was warm apple pie that was excellent! Our service was great, water glasses were full & there was a coffee carafe on the table. The waitress came around with decaf coffee and to see if there was anything else someone needed to drink. The place is cute and family friendly. You enter through a long driveway and pass a pond that has carved bear statue's fishing before reaching the ample parking lot. Cute little gift shop at the front of the restaurant , I always get syrup & have previously bought their syrup and pancake gift sets for presents.

The menu means towards middle-American classics: turkey sandwiches, meatloaf, pork chops, etc. The twist? There's a maple-syrup theme snuck in wherever it can go.

The service is skilled and efficient, the people-watching unparalleled, and the portions are enormous for the listed price. Figure two meals for the listed price, and it seems a better deal!

The restaurant is rustic- looks like a country bar- relatively wood etc- outdoor patio with lawn games-menu is standard bar food- burgers were tasty- kids loved the pretzel appetizer! The restaurant was open for a special event but they had limited help/staff.
