We stopped in last week after a long drive and had great burgers! We sat in the bar area and the service was fabulous and friendly! We enjoyed a couple of cold beverages and were on our way. It was a great early dinner and were so glad we stopped!

Dirty martini served in the incorrect glass and was not so dirty, was asked if I wanted it on the rocks, Should have been my first sign. Appetizers were fantastic. Pretzel with beer cheese and fried pickles were toooooo die for!!! Super Tasty. The pizza ordered was ok and the build a burger was dry and over cooked when ordered rare. We would def return to try additional food or maybe just appetizers and a bottled beer.

We kept driving by and when we did, it was always crowded with various vehicles AND snowmobiles! We opted to eat here for Valentines Day because I'm easy to please and I was curious. I'm so glad we did. I give 4 out of 5 stars just because the steak was a bit tough cut but it was still juicy and flavorful. I would try it again to see if I could bump this to a 5 star rating. Upon walking in, depending on which entrance you take - we entered the bar area which had not only "at the bar seating" with a bunch of guys but also along the back wall had pub tables too. In between the bar and pub are two dart boards! I was so excited. No billiards though or any other games that I saw. The darts is enough to make me happy. :) Beyond the bar area is the family seating which is divided by a half wall and then another section behind a full wall so you can take your pick. We ordered Merlot...which was surprisingly decent and would order again. I forgot to ask what kind. For appetizers we had mozarella sticks that were chunkier than my fingers which were served with a cup of marinara sauce. Yum! They were good and didn't last long. Then we ordered our entrees which came with a side salad, garlic knots and a choice of side. I will have to say, their sides are odd. You can have Pasta with steak. Curious as I was, I opted for pasta with my steak. I was thinking that maybe it would be a couple of spoonfuls but nope! They brought out the steak on a platter covered in sauteed onions (my request) and a regular bowl size of pasta! (This meal ended up being my left overs 3 times) so imagine this meal being saved and eaten over 2 more meals later. It was too much for me, since we munched on the garlic knots (so so soo good) and the regular bowl of salad (larger than a normal side salad). So, what I'm saying is that the portions are large! My husband ordered the Mulligan and it also ended being leftover dinner for him which he ate cold the next day and said that it was still good, maybe even better the next day. So, if you go and make an order of pasta or mulligan and can't finish, heat it up the next day. It'll be delicious! The service was attentive, fast and we can see why its always packed. We'll be back a lot to try the other items on the menu.
