Snickers is always so much fun! Katerina the bartender was awesome and John the owner always has something good to say. I got a bacon cheeseburger and it was top notch!

The menus had different prices on them , the service was terrible.. the server had no manners and was extremely rude not sure if she was on something or not.. might I add that it wasn't very busy but yet she managed to forget to put an order in. I Had to go to the bar to even pay the tab .. needless to say she didn't work.for her tip so we left nothing ! worse service I've ever experienced and the food wasn't nothing to talk about.. my daughter took 2 bite of her food and said it taste funny ... it was a grilled cheese. Don't recommend
