New Owners - The menu is now limited there have been some changes, Cheyenne was my server and she was fantastic,I wanted a black-and-blue burger which is no longer on the menu but they accommodated me and made one it was very good I just had to assemble it. I will come back and try again and hopefully their menu will get bigger and they will have more choices other than that it is a very good place to eat the burger though is on the expensive side $16 for just a burger no fries.

*Third edit (1/19/25) it seems the owner has deleted their response to my original review. That should speak for itself. My edits and reviews still stand.
*Edit to add after owners response*
IF, and I mean IF, your garlic knots are homemade, they were made a week ago, and frozen and reheated 10 times. I travel and cook a lot. They were not good at all. Your burgers "that speak for themselves" are about as good as the rest of your crowd: tasteless and overdone. Also, it seems that you can't handle someone not agreeing with your establishment and food. Best of luck!
*original review*
I'm not sure where to start with this one. This is a place that felt like a locals only, and not a place I would suggest to anyone to stop for a bite, let alone a quick one.
The waitstaff was very odd, to say the least.
The food took forever. Our alcoholic drinks sat at the bar forever while I watched our waitress help other waitresses for food and many other tables. I almost got up to get it myself.
The cheese curds had literally no texture or body to them. They were a melted, greasy mush in your mouth. The garlic knots were definitely not homemade and previously frozen swimming in a pool of buttered flavored oil. And the burger was basic.
If these foods and service is what keeps their doors open, good for them.
But I'll pass.

We met friends for lunch and they recommended this place and I'm glad they did. The waitress came right away and took our order. A meat lovers pizza for us and 2 brie burgers for our friends. The order took a while, 15 mins, but it was well worth the wait. The pizza was handmade and freaking delicious. The burgers stood 6 inches tall and was a challenge for our friends to eat. But they loved them.

I ordered a pick-up order. I got wings with tater tots and cheese curds. I was disappointed. I ordered medium wings, and for some reason, they were swimming in medium oil, and they decided to put my tater tots in the same container so they were not edible after sitting in the wing oil. The wings were good even swimming in oil. The actual cheese inside of the curd breading is delicious, creamy, and soft. My curds, unfortunately, were salty, and the breading was falling right off of them.

We went to the Backyard l[king for a good pizza, and we got it . A mix of flavors you can find over here good choices for burgers and crusties an flavored pizzas, the casual ambiance is totally different and funny, The pizza we chose was half meat loaf and half cheese, it was delicious and enough for two. Beer was served in a cold glass and a good detail for a hot day. The prices are fair, so is a recommendable place for a family dinner.
