We were driving far into Pennsylvania to buy something on Facebook Marketplace. When you get into rural areas alot of places to eat close as early as 8 PM! So I was happy to find a place with a kitchen open till 11 PM!!! With good reviews!!! When I called to confirm, the bartender was like “see you soon!” Charlie is so friendly and a fantastic server, as are his coworkers! OK on to the food… the food here is not ordinary bar food… it is excellent restaurant food! They have daily bargain specials like smoked wings and pirogies… so delicious!!! Had a sausage sandwich with fries also excellent! A side salad… excellent!!! And of course there is the bar!!! They have an ENORMOUS selection of beers on tap and canned. So much to choose. We had a cranberry mango Ipso Lacto and a Peach beer. Thank y

Cozy little place with a big craft draft list and excellent food for great price! I got the seafood trio. Salmon, shrimp, crab cakes and Parmesan risotto. I would normally expect to pay north of $36 dollars anyway we else but for an incredible $22 it was an easy choice and wow absolutely amazing. Hard to believe they’re making this high level of food in such a small town. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend.

Visited PA during Christmas to see my boyfriends family and where he grew up. Said that this place had a special on pairing a bourbon with a beer. The bartenders had no idea about it (maybe the owner did it once for him) but Charlie did his best with matching us both with a bourbon and beer. He paired me with a beer that tasted like a waffle, it was insane, and a bourbon that had a sweeter side to it. Great customer service from Charlie and had a great time overall!

We ate here for the first the other week and it was amazing!. We did the crap dip bowl appetizer, caesar salad, elk burger and seafood trio. Food was ready in a timely manner, service was excellent and the owner gave great conversation. We will be returning.

Driving back from Florida to Upstate NY and always want to support local restaurants! Stopped here and so glad we did. Excellent service, food was top notch and if we lived closer we would be there every week! Atmosphere was very welcoming and the owner was kind and accommodating. Definitely will be back. Stop if you are in the area, you will not be disappointed!
