"Passing through on a roadtrip with family and decided to try something other than the usual chain restaurant for dinner. Not going to lie, I did not have a great first impression of the restaurant. From the dull, square building to the empty parking lot I felt incredibly nervous at first. We arrived at 5:30 and it was a ghost town. We were the only customers, and though I wanted to leave and go somewhere else, we had neither the time, energy, nor heart to do so. The main part of the restaurant where the bar is reeks of smoke the second you walk through the doors, but there is a separate non smoking room as well as a patio where you can sit. Our server was friendly and helpful, but the atmosphere was awkward. As the only costumers it was SO quiet, and we really wish there would’ve been some music or something playing in the background. We ordered the dirty fries for an appetizer and asked for the meat on the side, but they ended up putting EVERYTHING on the side, so our appetizer consisted of a very small portion of deconstructed plain fries with a side of cold, shredded cheese and other toppings which was very confusing and disappointing. I was not looking forward to spending more of our hard earned dollars at this establishment but we were hungry and were just going to make the most of it at this point. I kept looking for Gordon Ramsay to walk in and find out we were on an episode of Kitchen Noghtmares. But then………..our entrees arrived and quickly too. The food was actually DELICIOUS! Chicken fried chicken and steak, burger, and the evening lasagna special. All tasted homemade and filled with TLC. We cleaned our plates . Takeaways: Don’t judge a book by its cover. As we left from dinner, we were no longer the only customers as people started trickling into the bar. We asked the waitress, and she said their rush doesn’t hit until about 7:30/8 each night. We were their first costumers for dinner service. So if you come here just know that the bar is the focal point. Pros: don’t be fooled like us when we walked in! The food is really good other than our deconstructed dirty fries! Cons: atmosphere and ambiance was subpar. There is so much potential, though! The restaurant is located on a beautiful golf course with an awesome patio where they apparently DO have live music events. A little help from an interior designer would do them some good and help to spruce the place up a little bit and give them some identity. And again, please play some music through some speakers especially during slow times of the day. Again, don’t write them off! Though the menu is a little basic, the food is tasty!"
