My only memory of this place is my friend Danielle screaming... "BOAT DRANK." So get that.

Hot fish sandwich is great. And they're playing The Gun Club, what's not to like?

Basically the mirror in the women's bathroom is the reason to come here. Nachos second. And frozen piña coladas next.

Williamsbrau is not too bad of a house beer for the price.

Get the nachos. Don't share them.

Order the cheeseburger and biscuits
Penny HardmanOctober 13, 2010
The frozen drinks are amazing, but don't expect to get them quickly if it's busy. Not because the service is bad, but because the drinks require some work. Therefore, don't forget to tip well.

I feel as though I am in 1976 even though I wasn't alive then. Very nice vibe. Unassuming yet awesome.

Patio has a good vibe, Christian is kickass behind the bar.

If you're looking around for what the heck to do...like I did. You go to the bar and order your food/drinks and seat yourself! Simple as that.

Spicy chicken Sammy! Nachos are decent

Fried chicken to go and pinto beans is a great idea. This place never answers the damn phone, but the wait is only 15 minutes when it isn't packed.

Grilled cheese sandwiches are delish

Queso. All the time. Every time.

I love me some fried chicken but this place is ok. Not great. Save the $11 and go to Golden Dragon and get fried chicken there.
Ian MarshallAugust 11, 2016
