My husband and I had the Signature Blue and Gold Wings which are dry rub & smoked finished in blue & gold sauce topped with crumbled blue cheese, Comes with celery & blue cheese. These wings were different but amazing. I don't like super spicy wings, which these weren't but were amazingly delicious! My son had the mac and cheese bowl and loved it too. Will definitely be back for some more of those wings!"

I had visited the week prior with my oldest brother and decided to head back with the wife. Can't wait to visit in the summer and catch a walk after. Located in a nice spot for a date night."

The batter is seasoned in such a way that I find myself hardly using tartar sauce! MORE Updates! Still going here almost every Friday I can, still snappin' pics and LOVING the fish fry here. In addition to fish frys, their blue and gold wings are over the top!"

I had their smoked chicken wings with the black and blue treatment, which were very tasty but a bit pricey. My girlfriend had a special order hamburger without a bun (no gluten-free option visible) and french fries. The french fries side was disappointing due to the very small portion provided. No complaints from the other diners. Drinks were not on the cheap side but reasonably priced considering the music was free. Inside the bar was quite busy, although this was a beautiful Friday night."
