Unique spot for lunch/dinner. It's like the movie -Night at the Roxbury- where they make the inside look like the outside. It's very nicely done with the inside of the restaurant looks like the backyard of someone's old style house. Patio tables with umbrellas, green turf on the ground. The bar looks like an old wooden porch with the overhang roof above. Parts felt a little tired but that could also be the nostalgia.
We had a limited variety of food on this visit. Started with Pickle Chips. Cooked right, very hot when they came out. Ranch was a solid ranch, too. We ordered a half and half pizza. It was good and done right. No complaints. We also ordered a calzone. The calzone was huge and had delicious flavor. Half come home and even heated up nicely a couple of days later. One of the kiddos wanted tator tots so we ordered a basket. Tator tots are not something we would recommend. Had an odd taste.
Service was good. Not complaints there. Attentive and no mistakes, friendly folks. We will go back at some point and try more food. Burger and wings looked good. See you next time!

New Owners - The menu is now limited there have been some changes, Cheyenne was my server and she was fantastic,I wanted a black-and-blue burger which is no longer on the menu but they accommodated me and made one it was very good I just had to assemble it. I will come back and try again and hopefully their menu will get bigger and they will have more choices other than that it is a very good place to eat the burger though is on the expensive side $16 for just a burger no fries.

We met friends for lunch and they recommended this place and I'm glad they did. The waitress came right away and took our order. A meat lovers pizza for us and 2 brie burgers for our friends. The order took a while, 15 mins, but it was well worth the wait. The pizza was handmade and freaking delicious. The burgers stood 6 inches tall and was a challenge for our friends to eat. But they loved them.

I ordered a pick-up order. I got wings with tater tots and cheese curds. I was disappointed. I ordered medium wings, and for some reason, they were swimming in medium oil, and they decided to put my tater tots in the same container so they were not edible after sitting in the wing oil. The wings were good even swimming in oil. The actual cheese inside of the curd breading is delicious, creamy, and soft. My curds, unfortunately, were salty, and the breading was falling right off of them.

*Third edit (1/19/25) it seems the owner has deleted their response to my original review. That should speak for itself. My edits and reviews still stand.
*Edit to add after owners response*
IF, and I mean IF, your garlic knots are homemade, they were made a week ago, and frozen and reheated 10 times. I travel and cook a lot. They were not good at all. Your burgers "that speak for themselves" are about as good as the rest of your crowd: tasteless and overdone. Also, it seems that you can't handle someone not agreeing with your establishment and food. Best of luck!
*original review*
I'm not sure where to start with this one. This is a place that felt like a locals only, and not a place I would suggest to anyone to stop for a bite, let alone a quick one.
The waitstaff was very odd, to say the least.
The food took forever. Our alcoholic drinks sat at the bar forever while I watched our waitress help other waitresses for food and many other tables. I almost got up to get it myself.
The cheese curds had literally no texture or body to them. They were a melted, greasy mush in your mouth. The garlic knots were definitely not homemade and previously frozen swimming in a pool of buttered flavored oil. And the burger was basic.
If these foods and service is what keeps their doors open, good for them.
But I'll pass.
