You can tell instantly it's a cheers kinda place with lots of regulars. We walked in and found a patio spot ordered at the bar. Wanted for nothing had a great (think ideal greasy spoon) meal the pork rinds are where its at! We even pulled the xl connect 4 outside. Couple pool tables clean bathrooms and an adult crowd. We will return:) thanks so much!

The food is always good. Made by a cook after you order it. Lots of seating. I always get the skirt burger (so much cheese). The fries are always hot and crispy. This is a favorite for me in Jefferson City, Mo.

The food was excellent and the staff was very friendly! There is a lot of fun activities to do here, like shuffle board, play pool, cornhole, giant connect 4, darts, slot machines, it's definitely a good vibe and a fun place to go for adults.

Taking that this is a bar into account, I feel the 5 stars is justified. The food is very consistent. There is plenty of room in the bar and on the patio. The space is managed well, there is lots to do. Shuffleboard, pool, darts, slots, and outdoor games. Prices are reasonable. Most notably, this place has several bar tenders who have been there for years. That really speaks to the ownership and tells me why this place is always busy.

Onion ring appetizer was great! Could rave about French fries -- flavorful crispy outside and meaty on inside. Friend found a hard to find favorite beer. He was happy!. Server was really moving and giving great service!
