My sin and I ate lunch on a Sunday b4 father's day. I had the Guinness stew and my son had the fish and chips, both were fantastic. Our service was very timely. We'll worth the trip

Great Ahi tuna salad! Fresh tuna w/ onion, cucumber, tomato, cheese, croutons and mango dressing. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Bet this place is fun during one of the Triple Crown races! Could use a little freshening: paint walls, replace vinyl on benches. I recommend and I will return.

Quite nice, homey and down to earth pub style restaurant. Food was solid - prime rib, sheperds pie did not dissapoint. The tomato bacon soup was incredibly tasty and worth trying.Service was a bit rough at times.

Dinner of Prime Rib was fabulous, Inc also had salads,burgers and pretzels with Beer/cheese DIP.... yummy Service was excellence with Justin and Lexy, who were friendly and very attentive.. Love the to outdoor dining, especially nice on an 80+ evening. Bar serves a 2oz. Pour

At the price point that they are charging, I expected better food and service. The girl who greeted us didn’t utter a word nor a smile and barely bothered to look up from her paper when we asked to be seated. The food was adequate but not anywhere close to what they are charging. The cheese curds were actually quite good. However, I asked for a medium rare steak but it came out burned to a crisp. People stand around the perimeter of the restaurant smoking causing you to smell cigarette smoke the whole meal if you are sitting outside. While the server was clearly overworked she was very sweet and helpful. We will probably be back because we live down the road but if I was passing through I wouldn’t bother.

Nice varied menu. Their sauces are great. Always had great food an service. Would give 5 stars, but the last time I was there the portions were small and the food was cold. This was their prime rib special.

This is our second time eating here. The food is good. But our experience was seriously lacking. The waitress was clearly overwhelmed. It was karaoke night so it was loud and busy. We were seated right in front of the karaoke machine unfortunately. Service was slow and our drinks were empty. The waitress forgot my dinner. By the time my food arrived, my family was finished eating. No manager came to apologize and no discount was given. My son had the ribeye and said it was good. My pasta was overcooked. Probably not going to be back at least not on karaoke night.

Excellent food and service. Great prices. Food was served so hot had to wait for it to cool!! Everything tasted fresh.

Expectations were high going in. Never heard a bad thing about this place. I don’t know why but I always thought this place was expensive. Probably because if you have horses you don’t have dogs, you have hounds. Like, “Fetch the hounds, I’m going for a hunt on my steed,” y’know like how you could imagine saying that to your butler or something. So I went with friends and we shared fried cheese curds, soft pretzels and beer cheese, mussels, escargot, brie and ahi for appetizers. I wish I could recommend one… but I gotta say they were all shockingly good. Down to the marinara served with the curds. Everything. Just get it all. For entrees we had shepherds pie, cajun pasta, french dip, buffalo shrimp, beer cheese burger and the prime rib sandwich. Out of alllllll of that, the only thing everyone wasn’t obsessed with was the au jus with the french dip. That’s it. And it was all the same price or less than you’d expect to pay at an Ale House. If you haven’t been, saddle up and go. I can’t believe I’ve slept on this one for so long.

The only reason this place got 2 stars and not 1 is because the server was very nice. The food was horrible, 3 pieces of meat in the Guinness stew and had to send the 1/4 inch rib eye was cold and had to be sent back. I should have known how it would go when the server made excuses for the kitchen before we ordered.
