    Their online menu was totally different from the menu that they had when we got to this place. They said they changed it a couple of months ago but the menu they gave certainly did not look new - basically sandwiches and fries. Then we ordered what looked to be their best sandwich and they didn’t have it available. No steaks and no real side dishes. The food we got was edible, but just barely worth the money.

    Disappointing experience with the security crew—he wouldn’t let our entire party into the restaurant because one obviously-over-21 guy didn’t have his ID. We wound up having to leave before we could order meals. And he and the guys in yellow gave us dirty looks while we left. Not a great representation of an otherwise very cool place. Our server was lovely and the appetizers were great.

    Casey was great waitress and burger and mojos were great too. Only issue was I thought the burger had too much salty taste but otherwise awesome.

    Great place to swing by when in Elkhart! They have live music in the evening, which was fun. They do need to update their menu, because a few members of my party were told the restaurant no longer served what they requested. Nobody has any complaints otherwise, they are short-staffed but the food is good! They did my salmon very well.

    The service was great. Very friendly and attentive. The food needs to be served hot though. The Chili was just ok, but came to the table barely warm. Tasted like it was out of a can. I had the mahi dinner. The green beans were undercooked, the mahi was over cooked and the rice was bland. Everything needed some seasoning. My husband really enjoyed the bourbon bbq chicken salad. Great salad dressing!

    We enjoyed ourselves! The food was good and we loved the entertainment (A Girl and a Guy) which is what brought us in. We did have to get up and find someone to get us plates after our appetizers were brought and thought our waitress could have checked in on us a little more often. Overall happy tho!

    We went here for the Aaron Lewis concert to grab a bite beforehand and it was pretty good! The food choices are similar to bar food but they tasted really good and the menu had a big selection. The staff was pretty attentive and made sure that we were almost never with an empty cup. We had a good time!

    New Year's Eve supper. Fish & chips with Bells 2 Hearted Ale. Interesting place. Very casual. Good service. It depends on what your are looking for. As a sports bar with music, people would enjoy their time here. For a special evening, well, uhh. Maybe.
