Stopped here late Saturday night for dinner. Quick service, good food, and decent prices. Got the Raspberry Punch, was a pretty good, sweet cocktail. Got the pretzel bites, they & the queso were delicious. Got the Buffalo grilled chicken mac and cheese and the Whiskey River Burger. The Mac was pretty good, HUGE portion. The burger was also good, the BBQ sauce was pretty sweet. Pretty cheap for two entrees, an app, and a cocktail and fast service- in and out in 45 min

The facility was clean and the old barn wood looked great. Our server was very nice and checked on us several times. I had a burger and fries and everything was tasty and cooked to order. I asked for extra onion and actually got it! My wife had a Strawberry fields salad with Salmon and she said it was the best she had ever had. Highly recommend!

Atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Very relaxed and casual. Our server Jacey (I hope that’s correct) was awesome and helpful. We ordered the tenderloin, fish sandwich, California River burger, and inferno burger. Everybody lived the food taste was wonderful and prices reasonable. Well done folks. Pic is of the California River burger. Only down side is I didn’t have a bigger appetite.

Good restaurant with great service! The food was good and hot. I’m not a fan of fried pickles but theirs were very good. The zesty chicken Parmesan was good and not spicy. The chicken was juicy though slightly over cooked. Clean restaurant and the bathroom was clean too. Will definitely be back.
