A side of fries short of a full order. Thought this location looked interesting so I made it my dinner for a Friday night, ordering online through the dedicated website. I ended up going with the Pick 3 (Fried Pickles, Boneless Wings, & Pretzel Bites) and the Chicken Bacon Club Wrap. Coming to a little under $38 before tip. Pickup was simple though I did stand around for a bit, despite the place being kinda empty the bar was full of people making a ruckus, keeping the bartender distracted from the front register. Kind of awkward, but she eventually noticed me and handed off my pickup. Walking back to the car the bag felt pretty hefty but I decided to check my order, and I found the wrap, which comes with fries (I also added a side of onion rings) was missing the fries. Now I could have gone back in, but the weight of everything told me this would be enough, still, I was shorted my french fries, so no frings for me. I was right about not needing them however, as this was quite the filling meal. Despite the Pick 3 looking disappointingly sparse, the chicken wings were actually a lot. You also get to pick up to 4 dips, so I did, and I was even given 2 extra dips for some reason. The fried pickles were alright, still crispy despite the trip home, and the pretzel bites were "stiff" and paired very well with the honey mustard dip and the cheese dip. The main course, the wrap, was really, really, salty. Don't know why, but I think it might have been the bacon they used. It had some good structure, but every bite I felt like I needed to cut the saltiness with a sip of diet ginger ale. And the onions rings, being the beer batter sort, did not hold up well to the trip home and became soggy. Not that I think they would have been that great anyways, as they were soaking in grease. Yuck. Overall with the missing side, the super salty wrap, the greasy onion rings, and the initially inattentive service, I can only give this experience 3 stars. Slightly below average.

First off, I have to applaud the waitress who was unbelievably nice and attentive. She was on point getting refills and checking in on us. The food was okay, but nothing earth shatteringly delicious for the price. My french fries came out luke warm, which is the biggest no-no for any restaurant or pub. But the fried chicken sandwich was pretty good, not amazing, just pretty good. My friend got a burger special that he really liked, but said the macaroni salad was odd and he didn't eat it. I tried some, and the pasta was a strange texture; like it had been frozen or something. But I didn't mind the flavor. The atmosphere was great. There was a live band on the opposite side of the bar, which was the perfect distance to be able to hear it, but not drown out our conversations while eating. The clientele seemed pretty happy and were having a good time. Overall, this was a pretty good evening out. The food was just a little disappointing.

Trying hard, pulling off meh bar food. Service is hit & miss on who’s bartending. I asked for ‘any burger’ I received a monstrosity. Bbq bacon burger. Patty- under seasoned, pre-made frozen patty. Bland. However cooked accurately med-rare. Topped with under seasoned O-rings and mass produced commercial bbq sauce, thick & too sweet. Needs apple cider vinegar to adjust flavor & texture. Lettuce & tomato, no S&P. Raw onions, unnecessary. Quality French fries from purveyor, served w/o S&P. Stacked high and ridiculous. Almost impossible to eat. Simple is better for burgers.

This is a great turnaround story.Under previous ownership food was very poor and bartender service was very stuck up and not pleasant to deal with.The opposite is now the case,food is incredible and service is very friendly and professional.So glad this is a nice hometown establishment for great food and atmosphere.The. black and blu burger is the star of the show,the cooks really know how to perfect classic comfort food.
