    Burger and the broccoli bites were very good, the beer battered fries were good, just not a lot of options for low sodium dining. Place was clean and the service excellent.

    Great bar food and had a super nice staff. Lots of things to do with the music, tvs, darts and a couple pool tables. This place is a nice spot to get dinner as well as a good spot to have one too many drinks later in the evening.

    We stopped there after visiting the MacKenzie Center. I had the Plain Jane Chicken fried Chicken Sandwich with fries. We also had Chicken Tenders and Home Run Pizza. It was all good. The staff was friendly and helpful and the atmosphere warm and inviting.

    We went after our Daughters Volleyball game with friends, first time back in over a year. Everyone was very happy with their food. I would say it was one of the best burgers I have had out in recent memory. Just my .02 but burger was better then The Dump's burger. Our tab was for 3 meals and 2 sodas for $42, I have spent more on less, but this was good. Service was a little slow but we were there during the NLCS game, so kindof expected.
