Stopped by to watch some NCAA March Madness Basketball games. Happened to be Saturday Night Steak Night with Steak, baked potato and shrimp for 20. Great atmosphere, table service and good vibe. The steak was delicious and will definitely be back in the future.

It’s nothing fancy but it sure did hit the spot. Our waiter was great. He asked all the right questions and didn’t forget anything. Our drinks were full. The food was good from what we had and affordable. They do have an outdoor area but it was raining so we sat inside. We don’t live far, so we will definitely be back. Update: Have gone back a couple more times and still good! Most recently I got the club and they aren’t messing around with the meat. Tried the cheese balls and fried mushrooms. Both delicious and I really like their ranch.

Great atmosphere. Bartenders are awesome and keep the cold ones coming. Shout out to Emma and Bobbi. Good bar food with plenty of options. Gotta come back for trivia and music bingo. Definitely a amazing local spot. Will definitely have to make a trip back there.

Go for a beer and a shot. Good place to watch a game as well. I often just grab a beer, sit and draw.

My wife and I have been stopping here for years. Many of our early dates were playing pool when it went by another name. But the current management has great people working there, the food is awesome and well priced and if you can't have a good time there... that's on you.
