What players say

Good bands rotate through here on Fridays & Saturdays. Really food employees & customer service. The food is good & priced fair. Pool tables are available in the back. The crowd here is always friendly, social country folks. I have been here many, many times & never seen any aign of trouble.

★★★★☆ Lamar, Oct 2026

Saw this place on Google maps. The food menu looked good and a good selection of beers. We got our beer order quickly and a menu. Waited 20 minutes for someone take our food order. Gave up, got someone to give us our bar tab and left. BTW, the actual food menu is extremely limited, nothing like the online menu.
