“ Our servers were fabulous. Fun, friendly, and very informative, both for the menu but also the area, we were first-time visitors. The restaurant was clean, and the food was AMAZING! Plates were full to the point we had take home. Must go when in Joseph. Tomato meatball soup sounds odd, trust me, get it!!! Second night, again, wonderful service and great meals This restaurant has an awesome team. Also, compliments are from 2 old restaurant owners. My husband bought the chef a drink, and that is how good this place is. * Remember folks, the front of the house may be incredible to see and fun to interact with, but it is the back of the house that makes your food, cleans the dishes, and sets the pace for a successful service. Treat everyone as a team! ”
“ First time in and had great service and burgers. If your getting the full order, be prepared to do some hiking to burn it off. The drinks were cold and tasty. The atmosphere was what would expect in a small town saloon. ”
“ The food was GOOD! I rarely get cheat days, so I'm always dying to eat something out of this world when I get one, and it has to have good beer on tap. This place delivered, we were visitng from Caldwell, ID that weekend. I had the Scooby Snack potatoe wedges and finished the rest off the next day & they were still just as good. Server was very fast & friendly, I was impressed with how well he handled a packed room all on his own as it got busy. Also, cute turtles. :) ”
“ Highly recommend. I’m a city boy, and like my steak a certain city way. This place is awesome! Authentic small town food - and seriously good steak. Sourced local. I was served by the wonderful Ciara. She was great! I highly recommend this vibrant and spirited steak house for any wandering traveller. ”
“ Stopped in for lunch and found a great place to hang out. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Food was good so are the drinks. ”
“ They had a great menu that was reasonably priced... Especially for a tourist town. The staff were awesome and the place has a great atmosphere. The meal was cooked perfectly to order. I apologize for taking bites out of my plate before taking the picture. BTW, my steak was ordered Med Rare and there was more shrimp than what is shown. ”
“ We walked in here because the restaurant we were hoping to go to was mysteriously closed (small town). It was a great place. Nice and clean. A great variety of foods to pick from and wow were the portions huge. I got half a Chicken Cesar salad and it looked like a whole. Pic is included when I was more than half way through eating it. I also got the BBQ fries, they were great! Hubby got the Bucket’s BBQ Bacon Burger. No words, just look at the pic. Overall 5 stars would go back again and again. ”
“ Excellent bar and restaurant! The staff are great people and try to take care of everyone, especially in the busy tourist season. The food and drinks are great. We are lucky to have them in our little town. ”
