The House Chicken is excellent! Bartender brought me a couple of beer samples, and I decided on the Peanut Butter Stout.....It is very rich and delicious! The waitress checked back, kept our water glasses filled, and it was a wonderful dinner. Go there! You will be happy you did!

The food and atmosphere was very nice. It was a quieter, slow time which was very nice. We loved the duck fries, sweet potato fries, Sunday drive burger, and cheese curds.

There was 3 servers for the entire restaurant and all I can say is that they were not quality. Orders from table to table mixed up, 30 minutes to get a drink, forget food we wanted to eat but our server came to our table only 3 times within the 3 hours we were there

Our first experience here a couple years ago was fantastic. This was very disappointing. Poor food, poor service. Two hour meal. Drinks and apps were good. Burgers were ok. Other sandwiches (steak and club) were sub-par. Great concept venue that didn’t deliver on International Whiskey day.

While the atmosphere was great, the burger bun was cold and the service was bad. Took forever to get our food and the check was messed up.

The food was good, the service was good. My whisky cocktail was fantastic and prices were very reasonable. A number of aspects have been hampered by COVID restrictions including staff turnover and menu limitations. This is to no fault of the establishment. I will want to revisit this place once things are back to normal to see if I can add a star (or two) to the review.
