Experience Through Their Eyes

Me and My girlfriend we're deciding on a place for my birthday lunch we somehow ended up here, I love these small bars because they never have let me down, But this bar was above the bar and beyond. I never was able to catch our wonderful waitress name but she made sure we were always satisfied. If you crave good food and drinks without the feel of a chain restaurant this was one of the best whole hearted places I've ever been and I hope you have as good as experience as well as we did!

Wow great brisket nachos! When looking for healthy I really like the Chicken Caprese - love all the flavors and the fresh mozzarella- and look at the clever salad bowl! The baby back ribs are very meaty and we really enjoyed the corn bread salad with pulled pork! Big burger and tender beef on the brisket dip with Parmesan fries. Garlic parm wings and fantastic corned beef.

We almost missed the entrance off the road, but we were glad that we didn't. We ate inside, but the outside bar was open. The dining room was quiet, with a nice view of the lake. The service was very good and the food was great. I definitely recommend this place.
