Best meal ever. Everything was cooked perfectly and no need for steak sauce. Dinner comes with soup and salad too.

Went there tonight for the wing special. Waited for service at the table…no one came. Then I stood at the bar hoping bar tender would help but she also never approached me to ask what I needed. So my husband and I waited a few more minutes and left without ever being waited on at all. I was hoping for something different than a chain restaurant but at least at the chain restaurants we do get service! Never trying this place again.

So my friend and I decided to stop in after coming and visiting with her family’s gravestones in Van-etten. It has been about 25 years since we’ve been out here to this town and decided to stop by the local bar to get some food or to see if they had any. To our surprise they have great food. I ordered myself steak medium rare and tater tots, my friend ordered two grilled cheese sandwiches and two orders of tater tots. The lady in the kitchen that is doing all the cooking she is a great cook. The bartender is very friendly and the people in general that is here is friendly and this is a kickback cool place. We do also enjoy the scenery in the back when we went out for a cigarette Saw some geese and Hill landscape and beautiful clouds we also noticed all the decorations inside and outside of this place and it’s just wonderful and feels comfortable being here.
