Mario is a banger of a host. He is very kind and pays attention to your requests. The onion rings were hands-down the best of our life. If you pass by, this is the place where have your dinner on the road!

The staff is extremely nice. Eating here felt like being at a close friends home. The owner greets every new customer and makes sure they are comfortable. Although it is a bar and grill it is very child friendly. Food was great, big portions, and came out fairly quick. GREAT EXPERIENCE. Highly recommended coming to eat here.

Ambience is great. Lots to look at. I loved the books and games available at the table. Menu is typical diner food at normal prices. Service was a little slow, but still very friendly. Food was good and flavorful. The veggie mix with my steak was a bit untraditional but yummy all the same.

Went here for lunch and this place didn't disappoint us at all. Lots of parking space. Very cozy interior with lots of interesting stuff all over the walls. Great patio with sun and shade options. Friendly and fast service. Pretty big and diverse menu with steaks, ribs, soups, sandwiches and burgers + vegetarian options. We had 2 different burgers one with peamel bacon and one with BBQ sauce with a side of home cut fries for both. At first, as we were hungry, portions looked small, but it was just an illusion. Got pretty full after finishing. And the taste was absolutely amazing. Juicy, tasty and the bun was holding its shape till the last bite. They also have some live music events in the evenings, don't know if it's every evening or some particular days, but would like to visit for that purpose. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

Cool little place to stop after hiking and grab a burger. Friendly staff, funky decor on the walls and ceiling, decent food...though a little slow, I have no complaints. Will return again when in the area :)

Great place to enjoy the evening! Friendly service! I can't rate the food as I haven't eaten there yet but, I did question a patron about how she liked her plate of a hamburger and fries. Her reply, 'absolutely delicious '. And I've seen repeat families eating their meals. I gather they enjoy the food. I'll have to eat there sometime to see for myself and return to this review. They have a pool table at $2/game. A LIVE band on Friday nights, which is also 'Open Mic' night, so bring your voice, instruments, or use the house band's equipment including keyboard. All ages are welcome! A friendly atmosphere!

A place filled with memories. The bartender, who’s likely around 80 years old, shared so many fascinating stories about the history of the place and the people who helped shape it into a sort of living museum. We created our own memories there too, and I look forward to returning in the future to show my kids where I’ve been. I even left behind a piece of currency as a memento. The food wasn’t great, but the atmosphere was incredible.
