Testimonials

On 10/13/2025 Jeremy Waugh had this to say:
Fish tacos are delicious! Update: Fish tacos are still fantastic, cheese nuggets are incredible and my kids talked all the way home about how good the wings and burger were. Staff was perfect in every way (we sat at the last available table when we arrived). Short wait for food, refills prompt, food was excellent. It's clear they care about the quality they serve and thier customers experience. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

On 10/2/2025 Bruce Wilson had this to say:
We were in town for show at bridge view. Debating which sports bar to watch the hawkeye game pre show. Very glad we picked this one! Food was above average bar Food. Service was excellent. Seemed like there were only 3 young ladies running the bar and tables that day and they kept up beautifully! Atmosphere is typical bar and grill but comfortable and plenty of tvs. I said above average bar food and I mean that as a compliment. Almost all sports bars do typical bar food but few are good much less above average. If you're Debating which one. Like I was. I'd pick this one again and again!
