This place was fun! Bartender (maybe owner) was humorous and fun loving. The band was entertaining and overall had a great time. Limited menu but considering what Covid did to small businesses, they are doing a fantastic job coping. Will definitely be back next time we're up here.

Yummy Yummy Yummy get some of their food in your tummy!!!! I absolutely love their ribs, pulled pork tacos with Cole slaw and pork nachos. Great Job Mary and Staff. Mickey the cook does a great job and Falecia is an AWESOME bartender. DJ Jamie is a great DJ and does Karaoke on Friday nights 7pm- midnight or so. Variety of bands normally on Saturday nights and Jam session every Sunday believe 1pm-6pm. Be sure to try out this historical place with lots of history there. We have meant so many great people over the years going there. Enjoy!!! Debbie and Randy Nelson
