Such a dive, but I enjoy a place that commits to their theme. If you couldn't figure it out, this place is witch themed and everything from the decor to the menu has a hint of witch in it.
If it wasn't for my father I probably would have never checked this place out. You can read that as I have drove past this place on numerous occasions and never even noticed it. In fact, I almost caused an accident when I did a last minute turn as to not miss this place. The only downside, and this is the only one that I think most will notice, is the parking. There is virtually none. They have a small dirt lot off to the side of the building and there is no street parking near here. But if you are a biker, there is more than enough spots for your, as out front of this place is for bikers to park.
Once we did park and proceeded to enter the joint, we were a little confused. There is a side door just off the small dirt parking lot, but a note tells you to use the front door. Reading it, we did as we were suggested to do and walked to the front. Once out front you have two doors to choose from. In actuality, it doesn't matter which door you use as they virtually take to the same point.
Inside, it's dim, I mean really dim, even with the sun out it's as if you were sitting here during twilight. You know how I said it was a dive. It truly is, but I totally appreciate dive bars as you seem to get the best service in these establishments. We were greeted warmly by the bartender from behind the bar and with a shout were informed that we can sit wherever we desired. Within seconds the bartender came over to ask if we wanted anything to drink and brought us menus.
The menus were quite fun to read over. Sticking to the theme items were named accordingly. Fondue (yes, a dive bar has fondue) was named 'The Cauldron.' Loaded fries were named 'Broomhilda Fries.' And every item that was a sandwich, was rechristened a 'sand-witch.' Everything on the menu sounded so good, but both my father and I opted for the Hot Turkey Sand-Witch; him with mashed potatoes, me with fresh cut fries.
For a majority of the time our meal was prepared the door to the kitchen was open, so we were treated to a bit of a show. The turkey itself was actually pulled off the turkey breast, not presliced meat that was heated up. And the fries were definitely hand cut, after they got out of the fryer they were freshly seasoned, with what, I'm not sure, but was it good, heck yeah! The gravy they used was on point as well, some may claim it to be too salty, but I liked it, and there was just the right amount of garlic mixed in as well.
While enjoying my meal, I also scoped out the place. While looking around I noticed that throughout the week they have specials. Keeping with the theme they bring in entertainment type of acts. One night you may have a tarot card reader and on another night they may have a blues band with a witchy name. Drink specials seem to be standard.
When we were finished, we paid, and exited out the door that directed us elsewhere earlier (but only after observing the regulars do the same). read more
