"What a fantastic place! We sat at the bar and were entertained by Chris, the bartender. He was incredibly efficient and quick, which left us quite impressed! When I complimented him, he attributed his skill to the great team he works with, saying he couldn't do it alone. What an outstanding employee! It really seems like a well-managed restaurant with a fantastic team. We ordered the pig nachos and wings, and they were both excellent. Even though the restaurant was crowded, we received great service, enjoyed delicious food, and had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend!"

LOVED IT!! The Chicken tenderloin was absolutely delicious and staff were more than helpful.(Thanks Keyshia 5/5 Stars!!!
Chris
This is an excellent local restaurant/ bar with a large menu of highly satisfying food. It also has a lot of character as the building dates back to the 1860s.

The fried cheese bites and pizza were delicious! They loaded the pizza with a huge amount of cheese and sauce that made it filling and tasty. I was also impressed because I was 30 minutes late picking up my order and both were still hot and fresh tasting.

Had a very good family dinner!! We ordered and waited the amount of time they said until they were ready. When I arrived, I was told that they were going a little after, I had to wait 30 minutes. That said the food was delicious and the service was friendly!!!!

We had an excellent experience at this restaurant! I enjoyed a delicious Bloody Mary and a fantastic Rib Eye sandwich, while my friend had the Reuben and couldn't stop raving about it. I highly recommend this place if you're in the Franklin, Indiana area. We even got to enjoy some live-action excitement while we were there—very entertaining!

During a recent family road trip, our hotel recommended the most popular restaurant in town. The prices were incredibly low, and the food was outstanding. The service was exceptional! The self-seating can be a bit unusual when it’s crowded, as you have to scout for a table, but once you’re seated, you can expect food that exceeds the typical bar fare. Our youngest son ordered the pulled pork sandwich, and we all agreed it was the highlight of our meal, though everyone was pleased with their own dinners as well. Overall, it’s a fantastic place with delicious food!
