This place... everything about this place... is so amazing! I so much appreciate the creativity of the chef in his plating. He goes above and beyond. A dish that tastes good isn’t good enough for him; it has to look AMAZING before it leaves his kitchen. The staff is so attentive and makes you feel so cared for. The atmosphere is so relaxed. This place deserves your business. You will not regret it!

Voodoo Shrimp and salad were amazing. Our cocktails were also well crafted. Our kids were pleased with their burgers. We’d definitely go back.

Food was excellent. I got the shrimp and grits. Just a tad spicy, but not so much that I was sweating from it.Service was great. Drink was constantly filled and the chef threw together a free appetizer for me.Atmosphere was pleasant. Had some classic rock in the background that was just loud enough to drown out other tables’ conversations.

What a pleasant surprise. We stopped on our way down I5, just looking for a bite to eat and to get out of the car. We thought we'd get the typical bar food and were pleasantly surprised the variety and caliber of food. My husband had the Jambalaya, excellent. I had the special which was Cod and Shire cake, delicious. We will be stopping every time we come through Chehalis.

Dropped in for Dinner. We ordered Manny's pale ale and Lowit Grimlock Porter which as it turned out was a bit of hopps at the finish. We ordered a House Salad which came with a nice surprise garlic bread, and the Prawns scallops and rice with red and orange carrots. All tasted yummy cooked just right but the rice was swimming in sauce or water from veggies. Not the end of the world as it didnt affect the taste but not what I expected for a plate of food. A bowl but not a plate. Service was spot on friendly and prompt.

The baseball sirloin with huckleberry sauce is genuinely one of the best sauces I've ever had! The service was fantastic and will definitely be coming back!!

Great food! Not your typical bar. Great place to have a drink or a nice night out. No blaring TV, nice and relaxing.
