I have been here a few times, each time the staff was courteous and efficient. The food is served hot and in a timely fashion. I get the burgers, they are a 1/2 pound burger and they come with fries. It is a good bar burger and it is very filling. We usually come in for lunch, so I don't know what the evenings are like. The lunch time crowd is quiet. The prices? Everything is more expensive in 2022. The prices seem to be close to what everybody else is charging. The atmosphere is more local watering hole, not a sports bar, or big chain restaurant.

We've stopped in as a family for lunch, dinner on a weekend or drinks on a date night.. The owners and staff make you feel right at home. A place you'll enjoy popping in just to say hi when you're in the area. Definitely a hot spot on our list with darts, keno, pull tabs, and fun weekend events including live music and bingo.
