"Tres bon je recommande ."

"My brother found this and wanted to come for his birthday. The parking is super spacious and the inside is gorgeous. The service was good, very attentive servers. The food was great! My picky mother enjoyed the food, the birthday boy has a new go to restaurant on his list and the total was not bad at all! Highly recommend"

"First time we visited, and OMG! So glad we finally came for dinner! I ordered chopped steak w/mushrooms and red wine gravy, he ordered thin crust pizza; sausage, pulled pork, pepperoni, and bacon. We were both blown away!"

- Dawn G.

"Really nice, casual restaurant, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and great food. Ordered the 1 lb bacon cheeseburger no bun to split (we both are GF). They do have a few gluten free options, however, no hamburger buns. The burger was fantastic and so were the Stony Fries. Would definitely eat here again!"

- Amy R.

"Exactly what you'd think it would be but with a far more extensive menu than you would expect. Buffalo burger was cooked exactly how I asked (for those that have ordered one before, it's a rare occurance). The bun was too dry and bready for my taste. But the house chips were money all day. Love how they can be crispy and chewy. People are great...attentive, friendly, and on it. Worth the trip for sure!"

"The perfect place to watch Da Bears! Can't rave enough about the pizza as well! I live in WI, so it's a perfect spot to get away from Packers fans"

- Joe A.

"The only reason it did not get a five-star rating is because I am short and the seats are low and the tables are high. I think there's only been one time that I went that I didn't like what I ate but we're not going to talk about that here. My fiance and I went there for our engagement dinner last year. I've taken my mother and my children to have dinner there. Every time that we have gone our weight staff has been pleasant The employees are kind and the service is fairly quick. The food is always flavorful and the meat is always tender. The pictures that I am showing was from a few days ago when my husband and I had our first date night as a newlywed couple. This is our go-to comfort meal place. In this photo is their steak and mushroom and onion baked potato. The potato was so soft and the meat was so tender. My husband had their big daddy bacon cheeseburger and, let me tell you, it is definitely a "big daddy" burger "
