    Just had the most bizarre experience here. It was my first visit and my parents third. There were…read moreonly 2 servers and one bartender on a Sunday at noon, so service was slow. (Although our server was a friendly gal from Minnesota whom we had no problem with). All six entrees ordered were lukewarm and arrived much later than the table who had arrived much later than us. No matter, as we were having a nice visit. However, when the bill came with 20% gratuity added on, my dad asked to speak to the manager to have it taken off as the service was not worth 20%. The person who came over (whom we later found out was the owner) began aggressively stating that her servers identified him as being a troublemaker and that he's "always asking to be comped or a discount" (not true as this was his third time and hadn't been there in over 6 months). He tried to state there must be a mix up. The person again, aggressively and with loud voice enough to be embarrassing, said she stands behind her staff and it was him. I ended up standing up and next to her and between with my back to her, made a path so my dad could leave. She then said she didn't want us to come back. We (party of 6) left absolutely gobsmacked. Even when he asked the owner to have the staff that said he was a troublemaker to come over and identify him (so she could see that it wasn't him) she again loudly proclaimed she stands behind her staff. Again, totally bizarre. As an owner I can appreciate standing behind your staff, but have enough class and tact to realize they may not be correct and not alienate an elderly couple who have been in the neighborhood almost 30 years. Our family patronizes the grocery, dentist, and other services in the community . This unprofessional, borderline abusive behavior will not be forgotten. Forewarned is fair warned. To reiterate: He was not asking for a discount. He mentioned the food was cold let management know. ; He wanted the automatic 20% tip removed so he could adjust it to what he thought was fair. This is a man who worked in management for 40 years of his career.

The steak and chicken fajitas ($15.99 after $3.00 Tuesday discount) were served about 14 minutes after we ordered at the bar on a busy night during a music bingo event.

The walls have plenty of pictures of local dogs and the taps are fire hydrants. Pretty good. I'm thinking 3.5 stars and rounding up for the great fajitas.

They used to make the best BLT around but the last several times we have gone I have been very disappointed. The current price for there BLTA is now 16.95 which includes frys. When my sandwich came it was on Texas Toast. when I opened it up to my surprise it had 4 strips of bacon, 2 thin slices of tomato and a thin piece of lettuce. This is not an acceptable sandwich for the price. I mentioned this to our server and she agreed with me. The cost of this sandwich was $2.00 at best. For 16.95 you should get a fully loaded BLT. We will not be returning again.

The interior could use a refresh (think dark wood, old booths, and sports memorabilia that's seen better days), but if you like a lively, unpretentious bar atmosphere, it delivers. We went for dinner on a weeknight. I ordered the fish & chips. It arrived looking sad: two small, thin pieces of cod that were overcooked to the point of dryness, perched on a modest pile of fries. The breading was decent, tartar sauce fine, but the fish itself was underwhelming and skimpy for the price. Highlight of my plate was actually the side of onion rings--thick-cut, crispy, well-seasoned, and legitimately tasty. My wife's fried chicken sandwich, though, was a winner. Huge, juicy breast with a crunchy coating, fresh toppings, and a buttery brioche bun that held up perfectly. The fries alongside were hot and crisp. She demolished it and declared it one of the better chicken sandwiches she's had lately. Service was friendly but slow. Prices are typical for a golf course spot--maybe $2-3 higher than you'd hope. Verdict: Dinner was hit-and-miss (great chicken sandwich, forgettable fish & chips). The loud, dated vibe isn't for everyone. I probably wouldn't rush back for dinner, but the breakfast menu has solid reviews, so I'll give that a shot next time I'm in the area. Onion rings alone are worth a side order.

The staff and bartenders are always on point, but it's becoming more and more evident at the lack of competent management, and any minuscule form of quality control. It's been consistently getting bad...but tonight was hands down the worst restaurant experience we've had in over a decade. Please fire them all and start over.
