Food and atmosphere were great. Friendly service

We LOVE this place . Great people and excellent food and service

Very much the local watering hole. I loved it! It has no airs, it is what it is and it's beautiful. Cheap beer and good food. Pool tables and sports and the old salts arguing about the game, you know the vibe.

I had the cod fish dinner. It was awesome! Cooked just right. Hot and fresh. The fries were hot and cooked perfectly, and the coleslaw was the best I've had since I've been here. ( 2 years) OH ! And the tartar sauce was on point! I hear it's homemade. The portion size was a good amount. I had to throw in the towel at 1 1/2 pieces of fish. Delish!

Great food and drinks. Excellent service would highly recommend

Best fish anywhere!!! Good pizza and my grown grandsons say the burgers are really good but like I said, “best fish anywhere”. Been going over there for thirty years, always good.

Michelle is the best. Felt right at home coming through the door. If you're in the area, stop in and try the fish sandwich. Beers always cold.

The staff here are warm and welcoming! They get to know you, what you eat and drink. The food is awesome. Some of my faves are The Pattymelt with onion petals (sauce too!), their chili is great (no canned here)! And the Creek Burger! You won't regret it!
