French onion soup
Jana P.

We were told about the special they have on Friday the all you can eat cod so we had to check it out!! Wow we are so glad we did!!! I loved the whole atmosphere of this place!!! I love the old building!!! Courtney was our server and did an amazing job keeping the food and drinks flowing!!! Now the French onion soup was spot on I am not an onion soup kinda girl but my hubby is and we both loved it!!!! He says it's the best ever I agree!!! The cod was breaded perfectly and was so delicious!!! I absolutely loved the sweet potato fries!!! My hubby had the black and blue salad which was perfect the salmon was amazing!!! I can't wait till next time to try more of their menu items good thing we are going to be in town for a while!!!!

Menu

We stopped by here on a vacation trip! It was amazing and sooo good! A lot of beers on tap and bottles. They have a fantastic wine selection. Lots of local wineries and beers available.

A hidden gem right off the expressway in the small town of Coloma. Worth the extra few minute drive past the fast food chains. Very affordable and the service lives up to the name of the bar! Large menu with a lot of good lunch and dinner selections. If you can get the potato and bacon soup, you should!

Trout special
Elizabeth W.

A close relative has a cabin on nearby Lake Paw Paw, so I am slowly working my way through the nearby restaurants. I am really puzzled why this was described as having many vegetarian options, because I saw few on the menu. I will do fish occasionally and was excited to see trout on the daily special. It was lightly pan fried - perfectly down. So a good meal. My nephew enjoyed his wings. Service was a little slow but with staffing shortages everywhere, it is not a big deal.

The nachos-

I've been coming here as long as I can remember. The French onion soup was Luke warm and I don't think there was bread on the bottom. I got nachos let the pic speak for itself. On the bright side the bartender was very nice and the beer was super cold!

Very cold beer.

Clean. I've cold beer. Daily specials. The fried food tastes like it is cooked in fresh oil. We went 3 times during the week. Once with 2 people, once with 4 and once with 10. Got the same great service all three times. No one had any complaints about anything there. Twice we got the tempura onion rings. One time they were not well drained BUT, they were still great.

Turkey club wrap with sweet potato fries

They keep soup in 5 gallon buckets with no lids on them on the floor against the walls in the kitchen.

Good food, good service. Only downside, can be very noisy during dinner rush. Medium price point. Dinner and drinks for 2, average $60.00
