    I want to tell people about this place even though I hope it doesn't ruin it for the locals. The service is what stands out. So many times I've been to places like this that have good food and bad service. It seems to be a local favorite. As it should. They have daily specials that are very inexpensive. We happened to go on a Tuesday, steak night. It was busy. It's not a large venue and there are only so many people working. When we arrived we were informed they were at capacity and had to wait. We were told a 30 minute wait. I loved the communication that we received. It was direct and efficient and we were told we could order drinks to sit on the patio. It took less than 15 minutes before the bartender/host came and sat us. We did sit a bit before we were served but the place was packed. They did a very good job. Our server was amazing. The place isn't large and you sit close to every table. My chair was tripping people multiple times. I didn't care, just moved it in as much as I could. Especially when older people went by with a walker. That doesn't bother me. It might bother some people. The server apologized many times even though she did a good job. Got a steak for cheap that was cooked perfectly, not expensive, and the sides were perfect. I'm not a connoisseur with steak, but I know what I like and for 12 dollars plus whatever sides you want to add for more, it was perfect. If you want a huge thick cut steak for 35 bucks, don't come here. If you want a cheap, perfectly cooked steak, with great service, do it. Steaks are thin but cheap. What can you expect? It was exactly what I wanted. The total bill was cheap. They have a decent amount of beers on tap. Overall, it was the intelligent, personable service that made me like this place. It's obviously well run with good employees.

    Amazing food!! Visiting family from Boston and would have never thought to find such delicious food in the middle of nowhere. The best prime rib sandwich I’ve ever had. The burgers are so yummy. The fries are dangerously good. Oh and the ranch is just as good. Thank you Chef!!

    The environment is like family! The food has NEVER been disappointing for me! I love how involved Max & Jake are with our schools athletics (corn hole tournaments and spaghetti dinners supporting the track team. And going the extra mile to pay for the broadcast of our football team and our athletes who went to states in wrestling!) Jesse Jefferson’s live music is amazing every Thursday evening!!

    This was my first time being here, and I loved it! The staff was so nice, especially our waitress, Sydney. The food was great, and so were the drinks! Would definitely recommend it and will come back!

    You want to be there for cheap steak night on Tuesdays. Awesome food, and the service was great. It was a little loud but I suppose that’s to be expected. Definitely a place I will return to!

    Unbelievably amazing food each and every time. We have dined in three times, gotten take out at least 5 times now. We have only lived in Kingsley for a couple months now. This place is worth checking out. Everything we have had has exceeded our expectations. The food is INCREDIBLE! Friendly Staff, people at the bar seem friendly…It’s a welcoming atmosphere and I look forward to dining in more! I will recommend this place to everybody who asks.

    I can not be more happy with the food that I had here. Scratch kitchen. Fresh food. The meatloaf!!!! Absolute 100% amazing. Staff was 10/10 so happy we came in. I will continue to be a patron. If you want home made food that makes you feel at home. This is the place.

    Incredible food! Great staff, plenty of TVs, and a good selection of beverages. Highly recommend trying the “Hot Mess” burger! Could’ve ordered another if I would’ve skipped the fries and coleslaw… but I’m glad I didn’t! Jeez Louise everything was delicious.
