Is this a dive bar? I don't know, maybe! What's really nice about this tasty little spot tucked in the Lakes is that the restaurant is nicely separated from the bar. Why is this a HUGE plus? Well if you don't want to smell like an ash tray when you leave you will like this restaurant/bar!
They have video poker machines at the bar portion and really friendly bartenders. They pour great drinks that taste good. They don't over pour on the booze so your dink actually is enjoyable. Nothing I hate more than when a bartender is trying to be all nice and he/she pours so much alcohol in your glass you can't enjoy it with out that "bitter beer face" or in my case, bitter vodka face!
We ordered some food and well...the waitress, doing her job I am sure would not make any changes to the menu. Ok I can me a pain and ask for weird crap but really? You offer chips and salsa but can't make nachos? I was told I would have to pay for everything individually. Ugh, really!? Well I ordered the chips and salsa and a small bowl of chili with cheese. I dumped it on those crispy chips and poof! I had nachos. Stupid rule if you ask me but I am sure there must be some brilliant reason as to why they can't make the nachos for me in their KITCHEN!
My meal was good. We also ordered a chef salad. It tasted as though it had been previously prepared and sat in the fridge in advance. It was so cold (weird but if your a salad eater you will understand). It had the flavor of a freezer...meh!
All in all I like this place and we will be back! It is close to home after all.
