“ This is a fun old feeling bar. The fanciest thing about the place is the digital juke box, and yes, it gets used. That being said, we loved this place. It was a Friday evening and the bar was full of folks who had just gotten off work. We started with the sweet chili wings, and wow.. they were good. My honey had the chicken sandwich which was good. I felt like testing to see if the Diablo burger was really that hot... it was an amazing burger, enough warmth to make you sweat but not tongue scorching. If you like spice, get this! ”
“ My husband & I recently held our wedding reception here and it was absolutely phenomenal! Our friends & family are still raving about the food, decor, the courteous staff & overall atmosphere of the venue! The staff was exceptionally kind and efficient when it came to serving our guests, set up & clean up. While we primarily worked with Natalie, both her and Sean were professional, direct while also being courteous and making us feel heard about our desires for our evening event. I cannot speak highly enough about our experience! If you’re considering a space for an event, even if it’s a larger party do it here!!! ”
“ This restaurant really had the right combination of great food and great service and I highly recommend this place to anyone . For starters my table got the steak tips and mozzarella sticks . The mozzarella sticks were so good I could’ve had the whole plate myself. With my meal I ordered the French onion soup which was ok, a bit on the salty side if you’re watching your sodium. For my Entree I had the fish and chips and it was SO Good the fish with perfectly cooked, the breading was crispy, the fries were hot , it was delicious Our server really brought the whole experience together! I believe her name was Christie? she was wonderful,had my table laughing and was very attentive to us . Great restaurant, will definitely return in the future! ”
“ The food was absolutely bangin! All of our meals were great. We went on a Friday night for line dancing and we were not disappointed. We got drinks to start, paid 15 for line dancing, danced a lot, then ate! The service itself was a little lacking, but it was a busy night and once we ordered, the food came out really fast. The line dancing went on until about midnight! We had a great time. 5/5 on the food and 5/5 on the line dancing. It is great for bachelorettes, birthday parties, and just overall vibes. Would definitely go again. ”
“ The trashcan nachos were steaming and towering in a beautiful, tasteful game of nacho Jenga. As a professional billiard mechanic, I enjoyed the pool tables serviced by T&M. During my visit, my table was spot on and level. Our server was very attentive and made an absolutely fantastic old fashion. With the right cherries and ingredients muddled together. We had a great time, and even though we reside over an hour away, we will be back ”
“ Had my wife’s birthday party here. Absolutely perfect. The food was incredible and the waitress assigned was awesome and attentive. Could not have asked for more and made an important night special! ”
“ Not from the area, but dropped in looking for some hot food on a cold day. The BBQ ribs hit the spot and the burnt ends made for a good app. Plenty of room to spread out a socially distance in the large dining area and pool tables to play if you're so inclined. ”
“ Surprised my hubby & son for their birthday and everyone was so impressed with the food and service!! Thank you Natalie for such an impressive job!!!! Couldn’t be happier!! The homemade cakes were an absolute hit!!!!!!! ”
