This place is a joke. Slow service, over priced sub par food. Buffalo chicken wings where soggy not crispy at all and the sauce tasted like straight vinegar 6 wings where $ 9.Hawaiian chicken sandwich was a chicken strip yes one piece on a grilled hot dog bun with a piece of ham and a pineapple ring a piece of cheese and some watered down BBQ sauce and soggy frys for $ 8. Water was leaking from the multiple pipes in the open ceiling on the floor, a table and in the hall way. They worry about there locals more then visiting or new people to town. No idea how this hotel bar stays in business. Note to staff make a dress code stretchy pants are for the gym and home not wait staff. Go somewhere else and have decent food. P. S. the chicken was bad got sick from it also.

Absolutely love the food here! Everything had great flavor and tasted fresh and homemade. Service was attentive and although the chef forgot to put the meat on our nachos it was quickly fixed and additional meat was brought out to us by him personally… very good customer service! I would have given it 5 stars but the people that were there that seamed to be some type of owners or people in charge in some way were standing pretty much in front of the door smoking. They were out there as a group about 3 times during our time there. Didn’t like that at all. Keep up on the great food and service but maybe move the smoking section on the side of the building or in the courtyard.

The quality of the food earns its own star, otherwise this would be a single-​star review based on the service my family received. When we arrived the table was mopped clean with a dripping wet towel and the puddles left there, upon which the menus were plopped. We ordered coffee and had to ask, on two occasions, for its condiments. No one had silverware and we had to steal a straw from the bar just to stir the coffee. The coffee itself was very weak and tasted bad; not worth two dollars, as I couldn’t force myself to finish what was in my tiny 5oz cup. Our table went largely ignored even though there was only one other table occupied in the whole of the dining room. It was an awkward experience as we had to ask for every little thing which should already have been provided, when our server ever eventually came by. I don’t enjoy leaving a bad review but the hospitality here left a lot to be desired. Even a smile would have improved it.

Nice place! Very attentive staff and the alcohol selection was great. It appeared to be both family friendly as well as a nice watering hole later in the evening.

We stopped here for a burger and a beer but were disappointed when we were told that only breakfast was available until 1pm on Sunday. The food was fine just not what we wanted in terms of food and beer selection.
