    A casual and historic restaurant in a rural setting. I've never had a bad meal here. The burgers are wonderful. My personal favorite is the perch sandwich. Very reasonable prices. There's plenty of seating. Well worth the trip off of the beaten path. The building is very old, so the A/C can struggle to keep up in extreme heat. They also have great pizza and mozzarella sticks.

    We get the same thing every time we go there. I get the Lake Erie perch sandwich and fries with a side salad. It is very good. He ordered the same thing this time. Usually he gets the veal parmesan with a salad and breadsticks. It is equally good. We have never had a bad meal here. We took the grandkids and they had the pizza and it was very tasty. We go here quite often. I would highly recommend this establishment for casual dinning or for lunch. Always a good choice.

    My calzone had a perfectly blistered crust, packed with fillings and not greasy at all. My wife’s mushroom Swiss burger was juicy with plenty of sautéed mushrooms and melted Swiss—simple, done right. Service was friendly and quick, the atmosphere was inviting. We’ll definitely be back and will be recommending this spot to friends.

    Lots of tradition flows within the walls. The floor squeaks with a step reminding you of the days past. Friendly staff and amazing food choices. Just wish there was more lighting.

    Cool mom and pop venue. Food is great. Service is slow. Your in the middle of nowhere hang out. Prices were very good. Options a plenty. Mainly a pizza place but sandwiches and other options available as well as Gluten free cauliflower crust pizza. I got a blue cheese burger a+,$9 served with fresh cut fries. $1.50 12oz amber bocks. Give this a try go out of your way to get there and get back to roots of classic American dining.
