I really wanted to love this place because the wife and daughter love a certain sandwich but I can’t. Not that I hate it. It’s good but way too many misses to be back for a grilled chicken salad. First of all the balsamic vinaigrette tasted great. Don’t know if it is house made. Plenty of food. Now the misses. Plastic fork for a lunch crowd.but it gets better. I’ve seen sturdier forks in elementary cafeterias. It was a task to mix the dressing in. If fact I broke the first one before I remembered I brought my Kershaw. Next the chicken. Had a stringy texture like it was boiled first then put on grilled to mark it. Zero flavor. Have it a 3 and would not order again.

Love the food and atmosphere here. This was my 2nd time going with my boyfriend. We sat out on the patio both times. Ordered Po Boy and BLT the first time and split the chicken nachos and sweet potato fries the second time. Margaritas were good. The sweet potatoes were a little too salty so we didn't take the leftovers. Also, they no longer serve avocado - the waitress didn't know why.Will definitely return here again!Vegetarian options: There are a few vegetarian optionsKid-friendliness: Seems to be very kid friendly on the patioWheelchair accessibility: Patio is even with the sidewalk outside so you could get a wheelchair inside the patio.

The staff was rude we rode 2 hrs to go thereFood orders in our group were messed up, although we did have a large group of us. So I can understand a little mess up. I noticed others didn't finish their food. We ordered a side of waffle fries the waitress was told we wanted fries, so if we could just get a side of fries it would be great, when she brought it to our table she literally threw them on the table. Ours in our group was not impressed with service either. I need to use the restroom and the outside restroom didn't have lights on, so I went inside because as where the restroom was because someone told me there was one inside the lady rudely told me there is one outside I said the lights were not working, she yelled out to someone to turn breaker on for outside bathroom and then told me ok now you can use the one outside. Some weren't impressed with their food including my husband. I personally liked my food. Even though they were very rude I still left a tip hoping that they were just having a bad day.

Wish I could give 0 out of 5 stars. I called to make a reservation and was spoken to in a completely unprofessional manner. After asking if we needed to rent the patio or not (because it was a big party and I wasn’t sure if I would be required to do so) I was told “well I can’t read your mind so tell me what you want.” After that, I tried to explain that I didn’t appreciate being spoken to like that, I just wanted to make a reservation in the easiest way for the servers. She told me “well that’s fine if you don’t like it, call somewhere else.” I spoke to a friend that worked there previously and apparently it’s a common occurrence for this woman to speak to customers like this. Very disappointing.

Wishing there was a 0 star rating. My experience tonight was terrible. Was at the bar waiting for over an hour and NEVER got a drink but the servers were getting drinks for the men around me that got there after me. Yeah no. no.

No frills bar food type menu. The club sandwich and sweet potato fries were good. Sat on the patio with friends bc nice weather. Service was very slow to place our order, get our food, and drink refills. Thankfully, we were there to visit each other. Went for lunch on a Saturday. Moderately busy on the patio but not many inside.

Ordered an appetizer, never got it. Took 2 hours to get my food. Horrible service overall.

Classic dive bar vibe with great food and drinks. Their fried green beans and club sandwich can't be beat!! Highly recommend trying this spot for a fun, laid back dinner or for after-dinner drinks.

Wow. This place is amazing. The staff is amazing the owner. She is cool as one person could ever be. The name of the bar is a bit misleading. As sundown towns are not usually inviting. This establishment welcomes all. Meet me there let's grab a drink.

Great drinks! The food is good if your drunk. The service is okay. The atmosphere could be updated a bit

Cool tavern with an outdoor courtyard, inside bar, and table sitting in the front. The fried green beans were delicious and at $7, a huge bargain! Bar area has one pool table and a couple tables to sit at. Small stage for a band.
