    Super good!! Gotta try the Tangent Tacos next time you go there! Such a great place! Great breakfast. Great service. The biscuits and gravy were perfect. Biscuits had a little crust to them and were awesome. Pancakes are really good. Had an extra sweet flavor. All washed down with a really great Bloody Mary.

    A quiet friendly place where its just a rustic atmosphere with a bar like feel but a large side for kid friendly options for sitting. The food was ok could of done with a bit of a bigger appetizer portion for the price but the special of Ribs with fries was fall off the bone. Will return if that way in our travels maybe try a lunch or a good drink.

    I had the pizza previously that had only a cheese base and it was delicious. I think it was for low carb diets and I would absolutely get this again. This bar is really cool. The actual bar where you sit is nothing but pennies as you can see in pictures. There are pool tables and poker machines here. This place has been a happening spot on a weekend in the past. Check it out. Wednesday prime rib dinner for $20.

    I popped in here for a lunch while I was checking out the area, and there was a good amount of people in there. The bartender was so sweet and on top of it, even though she was the only one working (besides the cook). Very accommodating and the regulars were so nice. Definitely want to go back some day!

    Have not had a bad meal here yet-- have had about 3 different dishes, all good, my husband has had more and no complaints. If there's an issue with food, they'll fix it no problem.
