This place is epic, a well thought out bar environment inside, a great outdoor area with a stage for live music and just a fun and friendly place to hang out. We had the Shrimp Po Boy, the fried green beans appetizer and a pulled pork sandwich. All terrific. It's an obviously popular spot and it's not to be missed. Missy is delightful and will make your experience there memorable.

Extensive menu, specials on certain nights, kid friendly with picnic tables outside and lots of bikers in season! Especially beautiful in May when the Catalpa trees are in bloom. Only place open on Mondays but menu is limited to fried appetizers.

Just because Missy shamed me into this because my previous review was hilarious and comedy gold, I will leave a positive review because I love them and I love the food and atmosphere.

So Missy makes the best Vegas Bomb ever created. She doesn't make it for everyone , but if u ask she will get behind the bar and make you one. Did I mention the food is the best around. Highly recommend.

Has great food but it mainly is used as a bar. People there are very nice and happy and well known by the people that go there regularly.
