This location has seen its fair share of owners. We decided to wait a few months to try the new owners take on the place. Granted it was a low bar from other experiences under other ownership. We arrived to a lot full of cars. Great sign! Walked in and they had a couple open tables. We grabbed a seat. We were waited on promptly. Our drinks came out quickly. We ordered an app of mozzarella sticks. They were great. The chicken wings were also piping hot. Trash wings were the fav. The garlic parm wings were good. They could use just a bit more garlic parm. The chicken breast’ were fantastic. Juicy and well seasoned. Cut them with a fork. The baked potato was also good. Yes you can screw up a potato. The skin was soft as was the potato. Perfect. Prices were reasonable too! The building is an old farm house so it shows its age and multiple businesses. It’s worth a visit! Definitely good food!!

I've been trying something new on the menu every other week for a few months and I'm blown away. Everything is delicious! Today the steak for the first time and I'm dancing in my seat with every bite . Wish I would have taken a pic first served but I couldn't wait to dive in so here's half way through . The wait staff is amazing also!!

Food was ok (chicken breast plate, Caesar salad, & broccoli) - service was great even when it was busy in the dining room area. Can get loud inside but it’s manageable

The food was amazing! Started with the appetizer sampler where we could pick 4, potato skins, fried pickles, fried mushrooms and fried cauliflower. Followed that up with the bacon burger, chili cheese fries, catfish, baked beans! Everything was delicious! The staff was fast, kind, and helpful!
