My son and I had the bacon double cheese burger. It was fantastic. Fries also tasted great. Highly recommend you try this restaurant. They have great daily specials as well.

Awesome little former General Store-turned Casual Restaurant and Bar. Lots of memorabilia from the past as decor. The burgers are just great, I Love the Black n Bleu, SO good. Boneless Chicken Wings are awesome also, as are the salads. Each meal comes with a delicious old-fashioned deviled egg. Plenty of televisions' to watch the Games! Clean and Neat. Give it a try! Sunday Brunch is AMAZING!

Not just a place for locals. This is a quality restaurant/bar that is well worth the trip out in the country. Try the cornbread with the bunkhouse beans

Staff was polite and respectful. Restaurant was quiet. Ordered catfish bites and fries to go which is always very good and you get enough for 2 people to share.
