This bar is great. Paige the bartender run a tight ship and handles all of the costumer demand. If you want to hang out, drink, gamble, or meet new people, I highly recommend the doodle.

Small town bar feel. Staff and patrons were welcoming and friendly. Burger and little steak were great and tasted like they had been cooked outside on a grill. We had a nice lunch, great conversation and the prices can't be beat. Definitely recommend this bar and grill.

Total randomness here. Pizza was great for drunk at 1am, but the price was way too high.
