Food and service is absolutely amazing!

Beautiful patio. Friendly staff. We got the side of Brussels sprouts as an app and they were very good! I got the hot honey fried chicken family which was pretty good, could have used a little more hot honey, but overall good. The fries were excellent. Crispy and salty. Definitely want to come back and try more!

Overall not bad. The chicken sandwich was pretty good but the chicken was not a great piece of meat. The chef did what they could with it and actually cooked it well. All the other ingredients on it were good as well. The fries were solid. And actually the mango habanero is very very good. A pizza went by to another table and looked pretty good, might have to go back and try it out!

Awesome brunch spot! Good food options for all tastes and the mimosas and bloodies are great. Also have pull tabs. The cinnamon roll is really good! Split one with your table

Me and my friends came for lunch this afternoon and had the best experience. Our server, Kyle, was amazing and we were all impressed by his service. Food and drinks were great as well!

We were nearby and decided to give it a try. Nice variety of tap beer. We had 2 different ones, the urban cowbell growler and 2 Pilsner. Definitely enjoyed! For lunch we had the spicy shrimp po boy, , the shredded Brussel sprout salad and the roasted sweet potato wild rice salad. The sandwich was great! The roll it was on was delicious. Don’t usually have fries, but they were wonderful and all were eaten. Both salads looked great. Brought the dressing on the side, perfect since we didn’t need the entire amount. The sweet potato wild rice salad had just a few chunks of sweet potato and I had NO wild rice, though the lemon cream dressing was good. I didn’t comment on the salad to the server, as the greens were fresh and I enjoyed what was there, though it seemed definitely not what was advertised. I would give this salad just 3 stars because of that, however, I it seemed unfair to do less than 4 stars since the server, Jordan J, was delightful and the rest of the order was really good. I’d come back but wouldn’t order that particular item again.

Great time for our retirement party. Beautiful patio area for our large party.

It was okay. We went here because Willy Mccoys wait was over an hour long. However, we were told it would be 35 minutes. We were skipped on the list and ended up waiting an hour. We were sat at an awkward little table next to a burger bar. The wings tasted like they just put on bunch of seasoning on top.... but the meat itself was extremely bland. The shrimp and chicken pasta was okay. My drinks were good and strong, but my friends margarita was watered down. Everyone there was nice, but I probably won't return.

Great food.Good portions.Their meatloaf and mashed potatoes are spectacular.

Good food and drink selection, great staff, and fair prices. The restaurant and bathrooms are very clean and everyone is extremely personable. We had the walleye fingers, pizza, and burgers from the kitchen. Everything was tasty and came out in less than 10 minutes. Waitstaff and bar service were extremely friendly and I can't recommend this place enough.
