Not sure why they have a big sign that says Family friendly dining! Completely opposite of that and I will also disagree with the bloody Mary’s. Not the best in town either. Family and I decided to check out galena for the first time and decided to check this place out since the galena brewing company was closed. Not sure why because the sign said open and it was 11:15 am. The food here was alright, wings didn’t come out with the celery and we felt rushed. We asked for menus and he said we needed to wait till after 11 am! It was 11:15 am lol. Food is nothing to brag about, but it did the job after a 3 hour drive. I should’ve read the reviews before going into this place. Not a top choice if we go back. Be aware this place only takes cash and checks. No credit card payments. Found that

The atmosphere in the restaurant was so cozy and perfect after walking along Main Street. The service was amazing, server was kind and checked in on good times. The food was so quick to get back to the table on a Monday afternoon around dinner time. Got the pizza and mozz sticks. AMAZING!! Best thin crust pizza ever. The sauce on the pizza was so delicious, on the sweeter side which is my favorite and even the crust was seasoned and perfectly baked.

Had a great time, music was good and our server Paula was excellent! She makes the best carmel apple martinis.

★★★★★ 5.0 Cindy Fromm · Nov 2025

My husband and I loved the food, the price. The server was very attentive and he had atleat 7 tables. The food looked good and was hot. I tried the bloody Mary, I thought it was 1 of the best I have tried.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Lisa Graff IDR · Dec 2024

Service was good considering they only had one server for the entire restaurant. The food was good and ok… the Rueben was full and delicious, the cod fish was not so much ( thin and overcooked), Cole slaw I would pass on, the French fries were way under cooked. Oh by the way… you need to pay with CASH or check as noted in the permanent sign. See photo of the sign … they have an ATM on site if you didn’t see the sign.
