The place is clean and they have good customer service. The food was good, came out quickly and the quantities were great. Prices included tax but the place was cash only however, they have an ATM on site.

The food was great and Affordable, we even had some left over to take home. The service was also great, the waitress was nice and it didnt take long to get our food either. The whole place was nice and clean, even the bathrooms!

Kind of a neat restaurant. I can see the appeal of coming here after being a the trails in TP. HUGE portions of delicious diner food. Cash, or etransfer to pay. They have an ATM on site. Kinda pricy, but what isn't these days? Was $75 with tip for two adults, and a child's lunch. Four drinks.... I would come back

Went once when it first opened was ok. The guy was all over the place couldn’t Oder much as he said he was out of alot👎🏼 Went again yesterday and nothing fancy or circus about it. Maybe the sign and a painting but felt like a hole in the wall. Food was below grade For-sure presentation not their condiments were blah. You would think for the price of a burger and fries $20 the fries would be hand cut not FROZEN and the gravy was soup. Maybe the close residents who like to get together to get drunk and eat bad food are the ones with the great reviews. But hey it’s your wasted doller. Trust me it’s at best a truck stop nothing more and sorry to all truckers I’m sure you hav3 eaten better.

No clowns found here, wth 😆 Clean place, food came out quickly and it was great! Prices aren't budget friendly, but taxes are included. Cash only, ATM on-site. Service was decent. All the TVs were playing the same network that was looping commercials while we were there, it would have been nice if there were different networks on.

Was a low key disappointed their wasn't a clown inside running the show, but great food, big portions, friendly service and clean atmosphere 👌

Somewhat of a disappointment. Frozen fries, canned gravy.... chintzy on kurds..... Poutine was more like Putin.... no “ OOO eeee” The washrooms were light seemingly by candlelight..... dark dingy, and creepy. The doors were open to the outside by the washrooms and the flies were INCREDIBLE! Like a third world country. I was so disappointed as we travelled from Cambridge and I don’t think it was worth it... sorry to say. Unoriginal and just really another greasy spoon. I hope they pull up their socks and stop clowning around.... it’s like a circus ..... Came back today…May 2023. Meh. Why no fresh cut fries boggles my mind. Better and cost effective. Burger was typical frozen pattie. It was ok but it was kinda soggy. $40 for two burger combos with water. I expect better for that kind of money. Just my opinion. Check it out!! It’s got vibe!!

This place is a hidden gem in the country. They dont stay open past 8:00pm, so get there at a decent time. The food is pub/roadhouse. They have snitchel and salads and awesome wings. The prices are very reasonable. They have two local draft offerings that are quite nice, and again reasonably priced. Also a full bar. Go here.

Our first experience tonight here was awesome! The staff were happy and friendly, the place was clean, nice atmosphere with good music, patio dining if you want the option to eat outside or you can dine inside. Menu had lots of choices and great prices! Liked it was cash only, and tax included in the price...rare! Good portions and the taste of food was excellent! We hope they make a go of this newer business...we will definitely stop in again!! Maybe next time we will bring the 5 kids!! Parking: Loads of parking Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly with kid menus Wheelchair accessibility: I would say it is accessible

We didnt eat here, so I dont have an opinion on food. Run down looking country location pub food bar. Lackluster decor, inside and out. The patrons seemed happy, it was busy, they were playing rock and the menu looked good, however it seemed expensive. I was surprised to see it was cash only, use the ATM at the door. I imagine it was due to the location lacking reliable internet, or..... the other reason.

Just stopped in to buy wings as we have passed the place plenty of times and thought wed try it. I ordered 2lb of wings for the wife and I to share. After trying the wings which were so over cooked and dry to a point that they were also tasteless. These were the worst wings we have ever had. I would never go there and waste my money on garbage wings or for anything else.

Drove by this place many times after playing Pine Valley GC. It doesnt look like much from the outside. We finally decided to go in and see it. It doesnt look that great inside either BUT there were quite a few people eating there and it was not lunch or dinner rush. Both the food & service were extremely good. Youll need to bring cash here as they dont accept plastic. Im not much for desserts but the cheesecake was excellent. Large portions as well. Very pleasantly surprised.
