I absolutely love this place! Such a cool atmosphere. They have fantastic food especially the stuff that's smoked in house. Great staff and service. One of my favorite places.

Loved it!We had the sampler appetizer which consisted of 4 wings, fried cauliflower, fried mushrooms and fried pickles. We arte it all and wanted more. Great stuff.I had the pulled pork sandwich dressed with slaw for my entree. Great smoky flavor and the slaw was a perfect match.My wife had the smoked chicken salad wrap. She said the smoky flavor was perfect.The staff was awesome and the weather was perfect to sit outside. There were only a few others there because we went mid day, so we had the back porch all to ourselves with the occasional hummingbird dropping by to visit the feedersJust a great time. We will be back for sure.

Absolutely love this place. Very laid back type of vibe. The food and drinks were great and priced right. The bartender and wait staff were very friendly. I also enjoyed the out door patio and bar rail. This place is truly a hidden gem!! Looking forward to making a return trip this summer and trying out some other menu items! 5 s!!

Food is fantastic!!! Service is just ok. Way to busy for just a couple people working in the bar area. Need more people for food services.

Great last stop before the lake. Everything you need to have a great time out on the lake. The chicken salad is out of this world and Jay's smoked pulled pork is 2nd to none. He has it made up in take home containers or he will make you a fully loaded bbq sandwich. Definitely a must try for food, drinks, boat storage. Even seen a fish cleaning station set up for use.
