The food was great! I had their ribeye special & Ruben sammich special for St. Patty's day. I've never had a Ruben that good even when I lived in St. Louis!!! The service was par, given there was only one waitress & one bartender. You can't be mad at that for the amount of guest they had for St. Patty's Day. It's just a hop away from Sesser, so I'll be back soon! Their pizzas are awesome as well. Wash it all down w/an ice cold stag.
Loud, raucous crowd (the teachers and staff after a high school graduation lol). The fish fry Friday is superb, good burgers, fries, wings and pizza. We got there near the time they stopped serving food and the fish was piled high so that I would not need seconds.
We went for wing Wednesday and it was really good. They have: parm garlic, Asian zing (more sweet than spicy here), Buffalo, spicy BBQ, BBQ, and their house sauce (green chile, hot). We will be back for sure on Wednesdays. Haven't tried anything else here, but it is my plan to.
I applaud the owners here!! Great people great food. There was a miscommunication by the glo bingo that led people to think they couldn’t get in if you bought tickets on event brite. We let owners know and took care of it for us Amazing people! Places like this that do the right thing deserve the business so again I applaud the owners great food great atmosphere and also took care of our bill since we waited forever! Thanks again guys we will be back for sure !
We enjoyed our ALL you can eat seafood buffet. It was so fresh and delicious. The employees were AMAZING. Only 2 but you wouldn't know it. Not only do they take your order at the door, they serve your drinks and take care of all your needs when your seated. The place was getting crowded and still the 2 took care of everything. The only thing I could have complained about if I were a complainer is the lime situation. I ordered Corona's and what's a Corona without a lime. I'll tell ya it was GREAT..... I only wish I would have got their named. Thanks Ladies
