Staff is always attentive, courteous, and respectfully talkative. Great Friday night fish fry, and even when almost at full capacity, you're 9.5/10, not waiting for service for very long. It's great to find an establishment that you can consider always welcomed, no matter what day of week. It always helps when you are full witness to someone having more than a great time!

Plenty of seating. Place was busy but no problem to get a drink. Bartenders were on their game and are friendly. Watched some of the packer game and they gave out Jell-O shots for the first score! Had a fun time here.

Was here on Sunday around 12p.m. Pizza was half price. I got a veggie one but added a sausage and a bbq pizza. Crust is thin - exactly how I like it. Their pizza sauce us really good. Very satisfied with my order. Very nice wooden interior, a lot of space. Nice pool area. Wood be a good place to watch football. The bar has a lot of nice sized tvs. A lot of specials always can get a good deal.(adding a picture of the season drinks)

Awesome service! Great place to eat. Just not a fan of the Buffalo chicken wrap. It had a weird taste to it. Everything else was great for our large group.

Usually very good food and excellent service. We love this nearby hometown tavern for a quick and easy dinner option. Lots of space and a very big bar with plenty of seating. The pizzas are always great as well as most things we've ordered on the menu. It seems that there are many pool players that enjoy to play here.
