Four of us came here for a work team dinner. We reserved a bay for playing darts. And even though I…read moresuck at darts (and most games) except for the occasional bullseye, I had so much fun! The dart board/setup is high tech. Service was spotty. Food was pretty good. We split appetizers first and they were the best. Next time I'd skip a main course. For appetizers we got the cheese curds, corn dip, hummus. All were really good. Like really good!! To r corn dip came with seasoned chips. For my main I got a smashburger and it was dry. Someone else got the salad with chicken on top and said the chicken tasted frozen. Highly recommend!

Everything seems clean. It was a little hectic with a shortage of help, but our server was great. We just had drinks and appetizers. The onion rings were OK. Not very many for $12 and they were a fairly standard onion ring. The sauces were good though. The corn dip wasn't very tasty. The corn seemed to be canned and a little on the older side. The nachos were average. The best thing was the pretzel charcuterie board. It was very pretty and tasty. It was a little on the pricey side at $20. If you have a group of people and you want to play games or just visit, this is a great place to meet up. Friends who came late, had a gluten-free flatbread pizza and she said the crust was an excellent gluten-free one! Her hubby had the social sandwich with sweet potato fries and said the sweet potato fries were outstanding! His sandwich was so big he could only eat half of it. The food sure came out quickly!

Village-Inn-esque without the pies. We will be back next time we're in town.

However coming back several years later seems like this is a fav of hers. I think it's a great bbq place and I've enjoyed everything I've had. The second time I got a meat platter with 3 kinds of meat. The ribs seemed a bit of a throw away add but I think they held their own against pulled pork and brisket. Yep I said it and I ain't taking it back. The sides were phenomenal. Mac and cheese and potato salad and I didn't leave any of it though I was full . The location is pretty much the main drag and it's near the raceway (like next door). Plenty of room inside and they had some tvs showing the college football games and there was some outside seating as well. I will come back if visiting again!

Bacon-wrapped scallops were grilled to perfection, but could have used some seasoning. My wife said her French onion soup was too salty. The hashbrowns were a joke -- unseasoned mashed potatoes in a mold that was browned on top. No hashbrown texture at all. My wife's sirloin steak was quite good. However, my $56 dry-aged 12-oz ribeye was a disappointment. I expected a melt-in-your-mouth experience. What I got was a somewhat dry piece of meat with very little marbling, but with a chunk of fat in the middle. Both steaks were poorly seasoned. Steaks should be prepared with a ample amount of salt and pepper. Adding it after the fact isn't the same.
