Pretty good place, appetizers look insane. Servers, aka Tyce, was really nice and even could hold a conversation. He is the reason I’ll be coming back. Another server named Tage was even nicer to me and gave me some tips on what to with my extra time in canistota.

The food is really good. I thought their Dunker sandwich was great. The place has been renovated so it's really nice and comfortable. Service was great and very friendly. The only thing wrong with this restaurant is the plates are too small. They give you more food than fits on them.

Nice place. We got there after the grill was shut off so we were limited to pizza and fried food. The pizza and onion rings were good.

Stopped in recently and loved it! The place looks awesome after the remodel — super clean, comfortable, and has a fun vibe. Love that some tables are made from the old gym floor! Staff were friendly and attentive, and there are lots of big TVs with different local games on. Our table tried both the nacho options and they were delicious with a great presentation. Definitely recommend — we’ll be back!

Tage ortman was a wonderful server. And services always good even on busy nights. Atmosphere is great as well, if you don't want the tvs and music the front makes for a much more peaceful experience. Also the food is always wonderful, and delicious only reason I gave 4 stars, maybe a bigger menu. Like a BLT, or BLT with an egg.
