Found this on a site that lists dog friendly places as we had our two dogs with. We arrived at a time Google said was slower than usual. There was no one sitting outside (0 people) tho the inside was busy. My husband went inside and got menus and a very nice lady came and got our order right away and brought us a dog water bowl. Unfortunately that is about where the experience ended. We sat on the patio, alone, for an hour waiting for our pizza. No one explained it would be a "longer than normal wait", and no one came to refill the beer. After an hour we went in to pay the bill for the beer and leave, Pizza came out of the oven as my husband stopped there to pay the bill. we had already packed up the dogs and we're ready to go, they sent the pizza with us for "free", or so they said, I guess beers are pretty expensive since it was $11 for one beer? Not sure, as we didn't get a receipt. Wasn't going to argue or complain, the pizza was good, but due to the awkward hour alone on the patio, I probably...
   Read moreYa'll welcome cuz its all country here My new place, hands down! From Arizona and missin the vibe every day - here it is! Jamie Alsaker paid very close attention to detail from the thick hand pattied /bacon/jalapeno/Chilli jam butter to the original loaded skillet, the menu is creative and full grown.

I finally found a place I call my hometown hang. Impressive, going back tomorrow, hell ya...new regular for sure. Jamie Alsaker, you've hit the nail on the head & shown your...
   Read moreThe Shafer Saloon has a long history. My old Crowd Pleaser 15 foot rolling smoker came from there when Pete retired. Twelve years ago now? Anyway, the place has not had much luck since. Until now.
It appears someone wants to run the place right. We stopped in over lunch after a morning meeting. We had poppers, shrimp and hand cut fries for appetizers. All were exceptional quality.
An outstanding pizza in an area with three pizza joints in every town would be a mistake if the pizza wasn't very very good. Ours certainly was way above average and boarderline stellar, actually I can not say anything bad. Not a thick, not a thin, but doughy crust that was baked to perfection.
The girls split the Taco Salad Special, I heard chewing and no complaints. Really well done all the way around.
Just what the Shafer...
