We really enjoyed our cocktail at the bar. Super friendly bartenders. Enjoyed a couple of delicious bourbon drinks. Dinner was delicious. We had the salmon and the special meatloaf of the night. Both were excellent. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive. Next time I’m going to ask to be seated in the front room with all the windows.

Each time we visit Krebs the food and service are outstanding. We have tried many different dishes. All have been delicious. Please don’t go so we can still get a table.
