On 8/27/2024 Mindi J.Elite 24 had this to say:
When you walk in you can smell the food cooking. Especially if they are making sausage sandwiches. And damn they are good. Sundays they have build your own bloody bar where you are provided a generous half glass of vodka and ice to start your creation. The only thing I would have liked to see were some pickled mushrooms, but they had a couple kinds of olives, asparagus,okra and pickles so I was happy anyway. Also some horseradish to spice it up. Your mixer was a spicy Clamato and it was delish. Also got a HUGE order of pepper jack cubes and I don't know what kind of magical breading is on them but they stayed warm for a long time , making it so nice to munch on them dipped in ranch. The photo is showing HALF of them gone. I mean WOW !! All in all we will totally be back. Missed breakfast by a few minutes but if it is half as good as it looked cooking in front of us and how it smelled we will be in for a treat. Prices are great as well. Is it a divey bar? Yep. But those are the best !!!

Just good people, good food and great times. We stopped in to eat and have a few drinks at the recommendation of friends who are local and what a great place.

The food was delicious the service was great with the exception they took a little while on my refill. Like all bars here it's a little loud and little dingy, but I couldn't complain about the price or the food 💯
