⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Aj Briggs
The place is awesome, it blows my mind how busy a small town restaurant can be. We were there on a Monday and we almost had trouble finding a parking spot. The breaded tavern wings are on point, I would go as far to say the best in the surrounding area (that I've found so far)! Tacos are pretty damn tasty too!
