“Please do not eat there!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

Obviously a booming bar at night with "High Energy Rock bands", as there is a two-hour table limit, so you are encouraged to drink and keep moving rather than sit down and eat. and this, as it happens, is just what we should have done.

Mind you the first half of our 'allowance' was taken up waiting for service. By then we had realized that the idea of lunching here was not the best of ideas so decided to keep it simple. Cheeseburgers. What could go wrong?

Well, the fries were OK.

Uncooked meat, un-toasted bun, greasy cheese, droopy lettuce and tomatoes with that deep red softness that makes you and I throw them out. Not recommended except for the Lake view.

“Not so great anymore.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011

I used to love this restaurant because it had some creative foods at a great price. Now it just has the same old frozen then fried choices you'll find at Chili's plus they've raised the prices.

“A Step Up from "Fast" Food”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

We stopped because my wife was in the mood for Fajita's so the we thought this was a good choice. however we were surprised that this place had more American food than Mexican food. In fact this restaurant is really a bar with a hamburger menu! They offer a very limited selection of "dinner" entrees and a small wine list! The food was average and if you are looking for a bar with ok food this is a good choice. But if you want Mexican Food or a good selection of entrees, this place is probably not a good choice!

Went in Thurs night and sat in the bar area. The bartender did a great job and made sure our drinks were always full. We got an appetizer and split a burger with blue cheese on it) The burger was delicious. Will definately be back

“Good food, nice price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011

You absolutely have to order the Nacho's. Perfect starter. If you order 2 of them you don't need a main course!
