Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Zack Virgo
Went here for our holiday family meet up today. Very surprised at how good everything was! I got wings and fries, my partner had a simple cheese and pepperoni pizza, my sister and mother had burgers with tots.
Everything was great, the wings weren't tossed in sauce and didn't taste smoked like the menu says, but were still really good, and the house made buffalo was solid. Fries were delicious. Both my mom and sister liked their burgers. But the star was the pizza, absolutely great and none of us were expecting it. We will definitely be back, maybe even in the summer when it looks like they have outdoor seating and boats going across the lake.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Travis holmes
This place a hidden gem. We went here based on local recommendations. The food was unexpected and demanded that I try something new. Having never seen a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich before, I gave in and was impressed! We ate inside due to the weather, which I rated down for being a little dark and impersonable. Service was great and the kitchen pretty quick for a lunch.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Mike Mansfield
Atmosphere is a 10. This restaurant sits on a small lake and they have created a very nice atmosphere to eat in with an entire wall of windows to look out over the water. The classic pork tenderloin was prepared well, not dry. My side was house chips with Verde sauce. A nice change from fries. My wife had the West Coast Tacos which are filled with coconut shrimp. Also very well made. An overall great experience. We were traveling at the time and this place is just a short distance off our path.

I saw a review on fb on the Indiana Tenderloin group boasting the best Tenderloin in Indiana. I've wanted to try it all summer, as I drive 31 quite a bit. Well, I can say I've tried it. Size wise, big enough for 2. But it was pretty flavorless and nothing to rush back for. The shredded lettuce, diced onions and diced tomatoes made it akward to eat. The bartender that took my order was very friendly. The 4 star was because her service was good. I saw a Google review from 2 months ago left by Michael T. He was pretty spot on. It also said 11.99 on the menu online. I paid $16. Im not sure if they raised the price, or if we were charged for lettuce, tomatoes etc. Again.....I tried it.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Luke Abston
Chose this spot on the fly, it did not disappoint! Food was delicious and service was quick! Nice setting on the lake. I would 10/10 recommend!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jeramy Madlung
This place really leans into the dive bar atmosphere. Servers attentive and food came out quickly. We got the tachos for appetizer and they are some of my favorite anywhere. The deluxe pizza was fresh and great. Waffle fries were cooked perfectly. Overall a great experience.
