    Bar with great food. My hubby and I went for food because the menu looked interesting. They have a great selection of loaded baked potatoes and burgers. I got the potato with pulled pork, bacon and cheese. Really superb!We were not disappointed. Our server was the owners daughter who explained they recently bought the place and world love any input on how to make the place/menu better. She was very attentive and friendly. There is a large side room with some pool tables and an outside eating area also. Nice bar and lots of tasty to watch games. We will be going back.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 recommended. The staff was busy with a game but still was fantastic. Food is awesome ,the best boneless wings I've had in town by far. I know people will say it's just boneless wings and sauce but it's hard to get a perfect wing not over cooked and hard or undercooked and chewy. Great job Chef!

    This place is delicious! Definitely and overlooked spot to eat. We make it a point to come here every time we are in town! The food is made fresh and is worth the wait! Wings are phenomenal, fish and chips are a hit, burgers are amazing, and the fries are homemade! Everything else we have tried has been delicious!

    Great place! We came around dinner time and there was absolutely no wait, all the staff was smiling and listening to music and all seemed very pleasant! A new server who was very friendly took our drink orders (and the girl at the bar killed it!) and another new server took our order. Everything was clean and when our appetizers came out it was super hot and fresh. Shortly after ordering our food we got our main meal and it was even better! Super hot, wings were crunchy, fries were crisp and it all came out at the perfect time. Only bad part is they need more customers! With how great the food is and how close to Helen they are more people should be visiting. WAY better than any food I’ve had near Helen in a while! Definitely worth the few extra miles out & we will be back over and over!
