“ Great dive bar. Food is outstanding, I have tried the burgers and fish, loved them both. Wish they had something else to offer besides their applesauce, coleslaw (which I thought just tasted like raw cabbage) or cottage cheese as sides. Very nice atmosphere, friendly place. No parking for big trucks. ”
