We would drive here just for the poutine, and the burgers are spectacular- smashed with an excellent bun and perfectly cooked. Today I had the homemade chips and they were perfect, while the boy had his with a pile of fries. The service is always fast and friendly and s they are always checking to make sure you have everything you need and always topping off drinks. Beer selection is also great w wonderful IPAs on tap. However, I think I like the "unity menu" the very best. "If you are hard up and need a little help, let your server know you are ordering from this menu and there will be no bill or questions asked. Sometimes we all need a little help". Many reasons why we eat here every single time we are in town.

It tastes like every other casual fast food place. The fries here taste a mix of bacon and fries, which threw me off so much. 4.5/10 Ambiance: it was okay. Seating was of an office building, there isn't too much seating. Lot of wasted space. 3/10 Price. TOO EXPENSIVE. We had 3 orders of burgers with fries and 1 other of mac n' cheese with a sandwich.

It wasn't nasty, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't flavorful. I eventually opted for the Cajun sauce to put on there, but that wasn't that flavorful either. The Cajun sauce tasted like the ketchup Mayo combo with seasoning for decor. Bbq seasoned fries: I didn't eat the fries because they were a bit on the salty side. I usually like seasoned fries, but this was a bit much. It doesn't look like it, but the flavor is strong for fries. They move fast in there though, so I'll give them that. I came a little later than my group but they got me something out as close to the time they served my friends, so I appreciated that. $4 for a bottle of pure leaf tea? Okey.

The Bacon Cheeseburger was solid--thick-cut bacon, juicy patty, exactly what you want when you're craving a classic. The sweet potato fries were on point, and the queso fries were dangerously good. One of our favorites of the night was the Firecracker Shrimp--mildly spicy, super flavorful, and honestly way better than we expected from bar food. The whole place has a chill, fun atmosphere, the kind of bar you settle into without even trying. The table next to us ordered wings and they looked incredible... so yes, we're already planning our return trip just for those. Shoutout to Jacob, who closed us out and made sure everything was exactly to our liking. Great service on top of great food = winning combo. Can't wait to go back!

We ordered 1 each and ordered 2 for both of us. The walleye appetizer looked nice but tasted burned so I'm guessing they just needed to change the frying oil. That was the only subpar dish we had.

The spinach queso was recommended by both servers so we ordered it and it lived up to the recommendation. It was the best spinach queso I've had in my life! Its a MUST order!

Ordered walleye with potatoes au gratin and both were cooked well and tasted great! However, the problem with this place is that it hasn't been consistent. I've ordered the same thing and it was awful. Our most recent visit, we ordered shrimp scampi, potatoes au gratin, and Mac and cheese. The shrimp were sitting in a dish of butter with minced garlic on top of the shrimp.... not cooked in the butter, just laying on the shrimp. The shrimp couldn't be cut with a fork they were so tough. They tasted microwaved. The potatoes I asked to be well done, burnt even. They came out with the cheese not browned and potatoes underneath were cold... not even hot. I politely told our waitress and explained i didn't want to complain. She was amazing and really tried to make it right. She brought us cheesecake that was the best thing I've had there. I really want to give this place another shot, but it's been so inconsistent which is incredibly disappointing.

The crowd was mostly younger, but it felt like everyone was comfortable and just there to have a good time. We ordered a pizza and jalapeño poppers. The poppers were a miss, there were not many, and the flavor just was not great. The pizza though was solid, and their Friday deal for an extra large at 14 dollars was a nice surprise. They also have a good selection of beers and mixed drinks. Service was rough at first. Our server forgot our ranch and drinks a couple of times, but once another server jumped in to help, things got better.
