The burger I had was awesome it was a huge patty on a delicious bun that was topped with cheese onion straws and BBQ sauce with homemade chips on the side cooked rare to perfection. The bartender was friendly and helpful would definitely recommend for a lunch or a dinner they also have a couple pool tables as well.

My wife and I had two fantastic burgers here during lunch recently. The Bacon Cheeseburger and Cowboy Burger were both among the best burgers we've had anywhere in a very long while. The fries and tots we had were really good as well. Lastly, we only interacted with one staff member, Katie who waited on us, and she was utterly fantastic. Lastly, the bill for the entire meal was only about 31, and that included three Corona beers. Really a nice meal with great service that didn't break the bank. We will most certainly be returning soon and regularly!

Hands down best place I've been to in a while. The staff was fabulous, the food was beyond amazing, and even at wee hours of the night everything was perfection. I will definitely be planning to make this a regular spot. My words don't do justice, it's an experience.

I came here to visit my boyfriend while he was working out of town in Franklin and we decided to have a late lunch here. This bar & grill is in a very good location and close to everything. I was very satisfied with the prices here as well. We ordered loaded tater tots to start off and it was very good but I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of those. He ordered a bacon cheeseburger and I think he enjoyed it very much. My choice of entree was chicken fettuccine alfredo and I added grilled shrimp to it. It was very tasty and the bar staff (Kimberly) was very attentive to our needs the whole time. She was very kind to us and had very friendly and prompt service. I didn’t have to wait nor ask for any refills. I really enjoyed myself and can see myself going back here again.

Pleasant atmosphere. Great food. Two pool tables, but 75 cents is too expensive to play. Great margaritas.
