Love their hangover burger. Never been disappointed with the food. The loaded fries are good too. I asked for them with just cheese and bacon. And the bartenders and servers are awesome.

We were just passing through and decided to give this place a shot. The service was excellent. Our drinks came in minutes, as well as our kids food. When our food arrived it was so delicious and flavorful. We will definitely be back.

Food looks great, but came out cold. Taste is average. Service was very slow on a Sunday night, 15 minute wait to be acknowledged at a table. I understand understaffing is an issue, but this experience wasn’t good.

We have eaten here several times. The service like all places that have trouble finding workers can take a while. The food has been well above average and some have been special. We keep going back so that says a lot. We are ordering from there today. We will get a Squirrel salad, 2 breakfast burgers, and a personal pizza with extra cheese. All our favorites.
In a world of average food, they are a better choice.

Solid mediocre-ish good bar food. Kids got nuggets and Mac n cheese. I got a salad which was very good and medium onion rings. And husband got nachos with a lack of cheese.
Everything was fine, not great. Menu on yelp is out of date but I forgot to take a picture.

Amazing atmosphere our waitress was super busy and still had enuff time to always check on us and crack jokes. Beers were ice cold, mixed drinks were well made. Totally my kind of place. Great hangout where the outsideres fit in with the local crowd, as far as us.

So glad we ordered takeout from here. They were one of the few places still open when we got into town. The portions were very large and everything tasted really good. I would definitely eat here again.

Great drinks and friendly service along with an amazing French Dip Burger. Yep, a French Dip burger with the beef cooked as you wish (medium rare is my preference). It was placed between two luscious pieces of garlic toast with sautéed onions, mozzarella cheese and served with au jus on the side. Their side salad was excellent too. Make sure to try the Pineapple Cider (6% alcohol) which was fantastic. They also have pool tables, dart and pinball machines.

Excellent quality and service was good. Chicken and vegetables were not overcooked. The Alfredo sauce could have been a bit more salty or flavorful.

Really good bar food. Walleye, steak, chicken tenders and the walleye were all excellent. Highly recommend it. Hit the specials. The French dip burger was an awesome collection of flavor.

Blustery, windy and gray day so we headed out for lunch after a paddle boat ride on Otsego Lake.

Server, Amanda, came right over to take our drink order (early lunch so just tea this time ).

We ordered the buffalo shrimp to start and Amanda was quick to inform us it's a dip with pita bread..we appreciate the clarification! Everything came out hot and it's very blue cheesey tasting, but Amanda did warn us. Plenty for 2 people to share.

We then ordered the Blind Dog (2) to share. The dogs are pretty big, I couldn't get through one. I had the beer cheese on the side, I'm not
