A powder keg is like no other when it comes to comfort, food, folks and fun, laid-back atmosphere, absolutely delicious food, and the service Is Fantastic, you’ll never see a hard-working waitress make it look so easy and the bartender is like icing on the cake the place where anyone will feel comfortable no matter who you are

I needed to really think about what I was going to write after my experience.I love the bartender and his enthusiasm towards his job. He kept me amused the entire time.However, he placed my order wrong, which then allowed me to feel what I felt towards the food I ate. I originally ordered mussels with garlic parmesean fries (It comes as one). That is not what I received. I received mussels in some sort of green sauce. He had to fix my order by getting the fries on the side. I ordered 2 glasses of wine. Their wine section is outdated. I asked about 2 or 3 of the 6 or 7 wines that were on it, and they did not have it.The fries had garlic and parm on then, but the garlic did not seem to be cooked in. The garlic was cold, and the parm was sprinkled light. I ate them all because I had to pay for them. The mussels came in some sort of green sauce, which the bartender let me know was garlic, olive oil, and something else. The sauce was very bland and luke warm, which I told the bartender when he asked if I enjoyed it. He told me that the sauce was from yesterday because the cook can store it for 3 days before throwing out. That immediately sent my stomach into a bad feeling because I thought that what I just ate was made to order.Maybe I'll go back and try something else because the place was packed, the music was good and the bartender was great. I would most certainly go for the drinks. Maybe I'll try a burger because no one can mess that up..lol.The bartender comp'd my meal, which I most certainly appreciated.

Small venue, but has outdoor seating. Local community restaurant. Friendly service. Prices a bit on the higher end. Awesome fried chicken buffalo wings though. Love them!

Really great bar food and spot to watch a game. Lots if TVs and friendly staff. We went when they were swamped and had to wait a good while for food, but that was OK because we were in the mood to chill. Wait was worth it. My wife was obsessed with the chicken club sandwich.

Nice area and service. The food was okay,, the hamburger was greasey and the roast beef was disappointing half fat and only 1/4 inch thick, all for $22
