The fried pickles were really bad. The onion rings were absolutely tasteless but the bison burger was really good. I won't be back here

Drinks are very good, but I waited over 45 minutes for a very average, overpriced burger. Drinks yes, food no.

Demand a drink or you won't get served. Pretentious bartenders. We left after being ignored.
