Wanted to support this local establishment and was not disappointed. The food was great (artichoke dip for an app and Italian salad was outstanding!), and grabbed some fries off my wife's plate (liked the seasoning). Although there was a little mix-up with some wraps at the table, they acknowledged it and comped us for it (even without us asking nor complaining). Thursday night was free trivia night at 730pm, so we were pleasantly surprised we were able to participate and had a GREAT time! This was our first but definitely won't be our last! Sports on everywhere, shuffleboard, darts and nice bar backsplash as centerpiece all helped create a nice experience. Well done!

Been coming here for Wednesday karaoke nights for a bit over a month, and I’ve never had any single thing that gives me a bad vibe from this place. Everything ive tried on the menu, I’ve loved. Even things I wouldn’t normally eat, I enjoy from here. Portobello strips, jumbo wings, fish fry, burgers, sandwiches, pizza. There’s something for everyone here, and everything on the menu is done right and done well. The service here is always wonderful. Everyone is friendly. Drinks and food come quickly. Taylor and Janelle are super sweet and both great at their jobs, and it’s always good to come in and have a chat and a drink with them, or anyone else that works here! I would recommend this place to absolutely everyone! In my opinion, the best spot in town, hands down.

Great cheeseburger and fries. Ice cold Coors Light draft.

Looks newly remodeled! Very nice atmosphere and service was amazing. The nachos were unlike anything I have tried before. I didn't get to take a pic but get the nachos for a little surprise when they bring them out to you.

Food is great and the service is always phenomenal. Bourbon Bacon Burger and The Wisconsin are must have meals!

The food here is excellent! Our first visit we got tin can nachos, 6 pc wings with gochujang, and 2 burgers. It was all so good we came back for more wings (garlic parmesan and gochujang), Italian beef, and Philly cheesesteak. Everything is delicious, the service is great, and we look forward to our next visit.

Ordered thru grub hub. The food was well packed and still hot. Portions are huge. My burger was cooked to perfection. I will definitely order again.

This place is a MUST TRY! We came here a couple years back when The Mill first opened. Admittedly they had a slow start, but to be fair, the world was also coming off of the COVID era. We decided to give them some time to work out the kinks and try again after some time had passed. I am SO glad we came back! It quickly became a family favorite and a great spot to watch the games with our friends! The service is fabulous and the food is top notch (like seriously delicious and awesomely priced). They’ve been able to accommodate our large group every time we go. We’re usually a group of about 10 regardless who we go with so that’s pretty impressive. We love the food specials and we love sharing this place with our family and friends! Keep up the great work! It’s rare to find such a well rounded establishment these days. Especially when it comes to service!
