The chalk dinner menu cannot be beat! My wife enjoyed a bourbon salmon and I devoured some BBQ beef brisket. A ton of sides to choose from and all the ones we selected were delicious. This is a great value with terrific food!

I ordered the 'Smitty Melt ' hamburger, Swiss cheese, and grilled onions on wheat bread. My father ordered the same, and we split a huge order of onion rings, which were also tasty. The owners/staff are very friendly and make you feel welcomed right away. My only criticism some renovations, or at the very least, some deep cleaning would go a long way.

I agree that it is nothing to write home about from the outside and the interior is dated, but the food is the diamond in the rough.<br/ <br/ My first visit was on a Friday (fried chicken day) and I ordered the fried chicken because I don 't get to eat it much. I 'd say it is the best besides my Mother 's. The breast is huge and the breading is spiced excellently. The griddle cakes are pretty dang good.<br/ <br/ The ladies give me a hard time because every time I 've eaten lunch I 've had UT orange on...but it 's all in fun (at least I hope). Regardless, the meat and two for around $7.00 is great deal!

The online menu doesn't even begin to showcase all the options available on the chalkboard by the bar. I ordered the Cod Crack, while my husband tried the grilled pork chop, and they even asked if we'd like one or two! The selection of sides is endless. The food was incredible in this small place that many would likely overlook. The prices are much lower than anywhere I've been in a long time. The entire staff works together as a team, and your glass is always kept full! Thank you, Mark!
