    "Best chicken cordon bleu ever!"

    - * *.

    "I had delicious wings here tonight. Crispy skin, tasty honey BBQ sauce, and fresh, sweet celery. It was not my first choice, but the menu was not clearly marked that my initial option was only available until 4 PM. The service is a little sluggish, it appears most if their staff is very young and still learning. Our server was pleasant, although she wasted a lot of steps!"

    "This was great! We went into the bar side (there is a bar side and a restuarant side and you gotta go outside between them) and had a little food and some beers. We ordered the crab bisque, chili, fries, chicken wings, and onion rings. Its a great dive bar! I didn't 5-star it out cause some of the food just isn't our style - the crab bisque is too creamy (which I think for most people is a great thing) and the chili wasn't beany enough (which again, I think is not a problem for others). But if you love wings, you'll love these. Get hot. I normally a mild or medium lady, but Donna, our amazing bartender, advised me on the hot, and she was right! And the onion rings were so so so good. They make their ranch in house too by the way, so try it. The bar has a shuffleboard table and some video poker machines and some tvs if your bartender isn't as fun as Donna!"
