I've been there twice now. I plan to make it a regular spot. The food is amazing! The photo is a cup of French onion soup. I couldn't much after that. Glad I didn't get a bowl!

We stopped in for a late lunch and it was fantastic! Friendly staff, our waitress (Makalya sp?) was awesome, explained the specials, answered our questions about the menu and made some spot on suggestions! We had some homemade guacamole as an appetizer, I had the Botana and my wife got the Fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken. The Fettuccine came with a robust dinner salad too. Great tasting food, good size portions and great service - the perfect trifecta! Can't wait to go back again!

A for Amazing!! Top notch team, great food, service, I played some Keno and we enjoyed ourselves. Attached are photos of the patty melt with waffle fries and the prime rib sliders with regular fries. We also ordered potato skins for an appetizer and no complaints! Food came out piping hot and mouth watering! Highly recommend! We came from Toledo so it was worth the drive!!

Excellent place to have a meal, some beer or both. I like the burgers, but everything I've had is good and there is plenty to choose from. The place is easy to find; you can't miss it.

Excellent service, and delicious food. The onion rings have to be by far the largest I've ever had

Awesome place to eat and get drinks in Flat Rock! All the food that we got was delicious. Beer was cold. Service was very attentive and friendly. All at very reasonable prices. For food recommendations, any beer battered deep fried dish here is top notch. Really liked their onion rings and prime rib wrap.
