The reason I am giving this place a one-star rating is to lower its overall score, it does not deserve to be in the 4's overall. Cool location, that's the only positive I have. We showed up on the weekend for dinner and there was absolutely no one in the restaurant area, took forever to get seated. Once seated we got water very quickly, everything else took way too long. Every single drink (except soda) was watered down and had hardly any flavor, plus a $0.35 upcharge just to get a flavored lemonade. I know that isn't much, but for watered down lemonade that was ridiculous. Plus you must mix the syrup/flavor they put at the bottom of the cup yourself. Alcoholic drinks were all watered down too, every one we tried. Refills were also impossible unless you found a waitress and called her over. After we ordered the food it took over 45 minutes to get to our table, nothing complicated in the order. Plus at the time we placed the order there were only 3 people in the restaurant total. Once we got the food it was extremely mediocre, it wasn't horrid, but it wasn't good either. Everyone who ordered medium meat got well done and burnt. But it didn't taste horrible at least. The fries and kettle chips were by far the best part of everyone's meal (FYI, any extra sauces have an upcharge as well). We will not be coming back unless someone demands it or we are forced. If you are eating in this area go to the VFW next door instead, the food quality is the same, but you are paying less, know what to expect, and they have WAY better views.

I love the atmosphere here. We sat outside and got a couple appetizers and drinks. They had mojitos on special and they were really good! I had to get two, the dragonberry and coconut they were refreshing and light. The cheese curds had the perfect amount of breading on them. I moved to North Carolina and you don’t get cheese curds like this it was amazing. Vegetarian options: Salads, wrap (AMAZING), sandwich, sides Service: Dine in
