The Cheese Curd Mac and Cheese dish was disappointing, as it lacked actual cheese curds and only had bland noodles with bacon bits and a crushed pretzel. We used to enjoy the more affordable, traditional bar food at this place, but now even a burger costs over $20.

The duck poutine was decent, but the fish tacos were disappointing as they were too dry from being batter fried. The service was subpar, with staff clueless about proper service etiquette and neglecting to check on guests in a half-empty bar. Despite ordering a second round of drinks, they did not arrive in a timely manner, so we cancelled them without any concern from the staff. While the location is convenient, the high prices and lackluster food quality make it not worth the visit. Do not believe the hype - this restaurant is not good.

The fries were crispy and packed with flavor. My daughter loved the Mac and cheese, and my other daughter enjoyed the grilled cheese. I appreciated that the kids' meals came with a side and fruit. My husband ordered the prime rib sandwich and he thoroughly enjoyed it. The atmosphere could use some updating, as it was a bit dark and dated, but the food more than made up for it.

I'm grateful they don't have this dish closer to me or I would weigh 500 pounds.
