This place was amazing, thoroughly enjoyed by the whole family. Kids loved the cheese tots of course, but me and the wifey loved their chimichurri!! Really friendly staff and chill atmosphere.

Let's start by saying there is nowhere to park at this bar. This isn't a restaurant but they are charging restaurant prices. My fiance ordered for us and I was supposed to eat with her on her lunch break. That didn't happen and I'll explain why in a minute. My fiance said it'll be ready by 2:21 p.m.. I'll live right down the road so I left by 2:15. When I pulled up there were 2 or 3 spots to park in out front. Those spots were full so I pulled around to the side and noticed there wasn't any parking available there either. I had to make my own parking spot behind the food truck. This was not a parking spot. I walked around to the front and went in the door and was greeted by a lady who was behind the bar. I told her I was there to pick up a to-go order. She walked to the back and grabbed my food. When she came back I noticed she didn't have any drinks in her hand. I asked her where my drinks were and she said there were no drinks ordered but she could make me some. I said I know she got drinks because she literally just asked me what I wanted before I went and picked up the food. I said the drink should have already been paid for and I'm not buying anymore. She looked at the receipt and lo and behold the drinks were right there on the ticket. She proceeded to make my drinks and then handed them to me. I said thank you and have a nice day. Now I usually always check my order before I leave but I was in a hurry and did not. I looked at the receipt and it was in total $48 and some change. I thought that was expensive for what I had just ordered. I had chicken tenders with tater tots and my fiance had a salad with steak on it. If you take away the $6 tip the plates ended up being $21 a piece. I don't know about anybody else but $21 for tater tots and chicken tenders is very expensive. When I got to my fiance's work I went to the break room and sat down with her to eat. I opened my styrofoam container and was shocked at what I saw. I had six tenders that were dry as a bone and no sauce on them. Instead I had these tiny containers of sauce. One was the cheese that I was charged $2 for that was the size of a fast food sauce packet. It was about half full and nowhere near enough to go over the tater tots. The sauce that was supposed to be on my chicken tenders was in the same size container as what the cheese came in. These tenders were full size chicken tenders. You should have at least gotten four of those containers of sauce to go on your tenders. The containers being half full was ridiculous. You already didn't get enough to begin with. I ate one chicken tender and my container of sauce was already empty. At this point I just closed the container and told my fiance that I would just eat it at the house because I didn't want to eat it dry. We had two drinks that were $3 a piece and after ice and liquid it may have been 8 ounces. I was also supposed to receive a thing of blue cheese and a piece of celery. I didn't get either one. Now on to my fiance's meal. She had a salad with steak and some cold sweet potato fries draped across the top. The salad was of good size and the container of ranch she got was the same as mine (very small / half full). At this point I was very disappointed and upset because of how much we paid for this meal. I normally do not give bad reviews to places that I eat. I have been reviewing food for almost 3 years with Google. Out of the hundreds of places I've eaten I can count on two hands the bad reviews I've given. Things are already expensive enough nowadays so it shouldn't be too much to ask to get what you paid for. I can't speak for my fiance but I will say the quality of my food was just like buying frozen tenders and tots from Walmart. The only difference is I would have made them a lot better. I do know that my fiance only ate half of her salad because there wasn't enough dressing to finish it. Needless to say I will not be returning to this place.

Super good and dog friendly! Definitely recommend the super smash and the shred bank burger!! We got sweet potato fries and the cheesy tots, SO GOOD! We even splurged and got some ice cream, yum!
