About eight minutes later, after noticing we hadn’t been attended to yet (understandably, given the busy atmosphere), he came back to apologize and took our drink order himself. Shortly after, our waitress arrived with our drinks and also offered her apologies for the wait. We decided to share the Whitefish tacos, which were excellent (5 stars!), and I ordered the French Onion soup while my mom had the white chili. Both dishes were outstanding. They did mistakenly bring my mom a bowl instead of a cup, and when she mentioned it, the waitress quickly offered to adjust the price, saying she was sorry for the mix-up. We also tried their famous Frickles—deep-fried pickles—and the seasoned batter made them irresistible. Overall, this was the best dining experience I’ve had in a long time.

The calamari was fantastic, the perch very tasty, the onion straws, coleslaw, chicken sandwich all very good. My mojito was not watered down and they had a good selection of domestic and craft beer. My only regret... I wish I could have tried the poutine!

Will not come back and will not recommend. It could be such an amazing place.

We came here immediately after moving across the country as one of the closer things to us at the time. He ordered a BLT and a beer, and I ordered a grilled cheese, a bowl of potato soup, and a mixed drink. The bartender was somewhat friendly but focused more on the barflies at the end of the bar than anything else, including refilling drinks or serving. His BLT was incorrect and missing ingredients, they put raw white onion on it for some reason as well as cheese, which just made it odd in general. Everything tasted dated, old, and like the people cooking the food had never tasted the food before, but were guessing what it might be. My potato soup was a watery beef broth with chunks of potatoes and mushrooms, which I've never seen before in potato soup and am allergic to, which sucked to find out after I ordered. The grilled cheese was also no good, they used somehow too much American cheese or velveeta to where it was suffocating and plastic-y to try eating. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're looking to get super wasted and maybe meet some locals, but still feel there are better options available.
