Bailey is a great waitress!
April 25, 2020
We actually picked up food and brought it home for take out due to the pandemic. We have eaten here before and had a very pleasant experience.
March 4, 2020
This is such a great neighborhood spot. We love the fact that they offer a salad with the fish on Friday nights. The service is always great!
March 4, 2020
food was excellent,it came out fast, service was good EXCEPT other tables were brought water with menus, we had to ask for it, we never had anyone stop back to ask how things were or if something needed, which we would have loved more butter for baked potatoes. They stopped at tables around us and we heard them ask them.
February 25, 2020
Our server took our order & never came back at all to ask how everything was. The person that delivered our food was very friendly.

November 18, 2019
The waitresses service was very poor and she seemed annoyed that we had a restaurant.com certificate and needed to keep track of having to spend more than $50.
October 7, 2019
Folks are so friendly and helpful here, both the staff and other customers.
September 20, 2019
Love this neighborhood gem. Family owned. The owner is one of the bartenders and serves tables when it’s busy along with her daughter. Nice layback neighborhood bar with good food that features a Friday night fish fry and Saturday night Prime Rib special.

Great service and food. Reasonably priced. Dining area is set apart from the bar so is more quiet and ideal for gathering of family or friends.

The price we paid for a burger and fries was ridiculous with the portion size! They were out of the nightly special and the service was ok.

I say the same thing all the time. Fast service, great food, nice atmosphere. The only gripe I have: the bar is to high for the bar chairs. I'm reaching up rather than over to get to my food. I like sitting at the bar but this problem has made me sit elsewhere.

We had children with us and they didn't seem used to having children. No children's menu and we needed to ask for a booster for our 1 year old.

I ordered the prime rib special. It was done exactly the way I had asked. Good, fresh salad and baked potato. My husband had a cheeseburger gave it a 2 thumbs up and was very happy to get crispy, not "soggy" French fries. The waitress was wonderful. Very efficient and friendly.
September 10, 2017
The food is always good! The service is always fast & friendly! The atmosphere is not too family oriented, not just a bar. Just a great neighborhood place to stop for a bite in a nice atmosphere.

the walleye is STILL the best anywhere.
November 21, 2016
The food is always excellent! The service is fast and price is reasonable. Also, there's enough parking so it's an immediate short walk to the front or back door. Nice amount of larger TV screens that offer more than one sporting event, and the volume is low enough so as not to disturb conversations.

August 11, 2016
The last meal I had was excellent. The food was tasty and very hot, especially the fries. I am disappointed the burger and fish sandwiches I've had before have been put on very large buns. They overpower the goodness inside. The fries and onion rings are excellent. Goodness inside
August 10, 2016
Great food! Great service!
August 10, 2016
We were on a time schedule and the waitress was awesome in helping us stay on schedule. We will be back! Great food ;)

Very dark atmosphere. Food was good and service was fast but chicken wings were still frozen by the bone. A spider dropped into the table from the ceiling while we were eating.
May 11, 2016
Staff was very friendly and engaging
April 28, 2016
Service from server was terrible. Overall experience was poor. Burgers were tender but had no salt or flavor. Lettuce on burgers were wilting and brown around the edges. Price was very high for the quality and service.
April 28, 2016
Nice neighborhood bar, very friendly and helpful staff and a great meal.
March 16, 2016
the walleye is the BEST anywhere & is alwaysvery consistent. being able to choose between soup, salad, cole slaw or cottagecheese in addition to a potato choice isa PURE BONUS. price is REASONABLE for what you get.

best walleye anywhere! prime rib is good too. the wine list has been "upgraded"---butthe prices are still good considering thePREMIUM brands. there's also a lower-priced house brand---which is OK.service is always well-paced & efficient.the restaurant is VERY popular----so don't be surprised if there's a wait----ESPECIALLY on game weekends!

August 22, 2014
It's crowded on Friday nights but the crowd is always in a good mood and everyone is having a good time. The walleye fish fry is one of the best in the state with a very generous portion and great hash browns. The bar makes a great Martini.

The fish was good (frid. night), the patty melt was good, but the steak sandwich was not all worth it, please re think offering this sandwich.

Lighting was poor. Portions very small. Everything, even bread!, was a la carte.

We each had a bacon cheeseburger and shared an order of fries. It was great.

Superb reubens! Great variety of hamburgers, too. And, of course, your choice of draft beefs is excellent
