Yes. They have a back area behind the bar. I would just call in advance to reserve it and give them a heads-up.

Yes, they do have a back area that can work for larger parties. Call and ask for Derick. He can help you set that up. He helped us with ours.

Ribs were rather mushy but everything else was good.

We were staying in the nearby KOA and decided to try this restaurant and are glad that we did. The burgers were the best we've had in sometime, and the fries (jo jos) were fantastic. Service was excellent.

Third time is definitely the charm. Well. Every other time has been too! We’ve heard mixed things. But now we know whose opinion to trust in matters of food. 😋
First time in, got a salad bc the dressings sounded homemade. While my steak was a tad over requested temp. Its tenderness and flavor of the meal made up for it. The lettuce doesn’t taste bleached like some places. And it was a nice mix. Not just romaine or iceberg. Second time we split a fish dinner and had cheese curds appetizer. It came with fresh potato chips and was a pleasant surprise!
Last night we stopped in again. Mind you- our third time in maybe two months…? Not many places call us back like that.
Hubby got a Philly. Amazing. Kiddo got chicken Alfredo- and they blackened it for us. Highly recommended! I got a full rack of ribs.
Now. Let me tell you. We’d been working on our property all day. We forgot to eat and were starving. Usually I get a half rack. But most places it’s just barely sufficient with the sides.
The gasp I gusped when this came out. It was an impressive portion and I’m hooked. I came from a town with amazing ribs. These. While a little sweet for my taste, these will do nicely. I was able to send my grown kiddo home with lunch. And I still have lunch waiting for me as well.
Service was amazing. We ordered poppers and it was confused with the popper dip- but the dip was so good we didn’t mind. Our server also (apparently on his second day waiting tables!?) attentive but not hovering. Friendly & helpful. We made some substitutions and he wasn’t bothered and got them spot on.
Definitely found our new favorite place. I don’t know what those negative recommendations from some friends were about. Because I can’t wait to compare their burger to the please we drive by to get to here.
I did ding one star on atmosphere. And it’s probably mainly a me thing- but. When there’s a bar side and a family side… I love places that don’t have tvs on family side. I know. Humans are addicted to the tele. But. It makes me sad when I see kids at a family meal staring at those flashing screens. Dad’s disconnected bc the game is on. And people who might as well be dining alone because they’re glued to the screen. Again. It’s me. But. If the owner or manager is reading this- you do have the opportunity to make an impact and make the family side more about families. If you do take out some tvs. I’ll bring over some quick and easy games. I’ve already got some in mind for you. Just a thought. 💞
We will be back. Most definitely.

Always good food. It is very much a community/neighborhood type of place. The reuben sandwich is super good.
