Stopped by on my way through, didn't get to eat because the place is under a huge remodel! I did however get a chance to talk talk to the GM Steven and I tell you what, what an awesome guy!! He said there adding more menu items, more drunk selections and so much more. They hope to open end of October. Can't wait to see it finished I will be back!!

A great spot! The food and service were wonderful and the atmosphere feels both slightly upscale and relaxed. A nice place to unwind at the end of the day!

A nice hopping place to eat! I stopped by for dinner one night and then lunch the next day. The grill is a small, well oiled machine, cranking out consistently good food. I tried the char cheeseburger and the chicken breast sandwiches. The staff was laidback and friendly during the busiest times of the day. Quiet enough to chat with some locals. Peaceful, family atmosphere. Good value and good food. For burgers and chips or steaks and baked, you won't get "burned" eating here.

The renovations and additional staff are phenomenal! One of the best steaks I've ever had!
