“ A quiet taco Tuesday, before trivia. Decided to try the tacos. EXCELLENT!! Talked to the cook about them and he loved talking about the food... we said how good they were and he came back, "life-changing, right?!" We We will be back. ”
“ As with every other review of this place, it was awesome. Outstanding service, great food, and a fun, good atmosphere. The person who waited on me was also was the cook and bartender. Stupid me, I didn't get his name, But at times we were the only two people in the bar as it was early afternoon time frame. ”
“ Great food, and drinks. Surprised at how many great beers they had on tap. Drink was amazing and food was fantastic, as usual! I read lots of reviews where people seemed surprised about the loud music and bar atmosphere. Make no mistake...this is a BAR! But if you love Rock and Roll, good whiskey and tasty burgers, this is your spot!! Lots of events and great food specials makes this our favorite neighborhood bar! Gotta shout out their chicken fried steak too. I’m Southern and they have the only acceptable CFS I’ve found in WA. ”
“ This is a great Dive bar. It’s not expensive, in fact,I’d say it’s one of the best deals in town. Layton is awesome and really promotes a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. I’ve eaten a few times and by far the best thing I’ve had is the Italian sub. Best I’ve had this side of the Mississippi. My wife who is full after 3 French fries said she could order a second.There’s several other dishes worth trying. The fried pickles are hit and miss, but when they’re on, they’re ON. I haven’t had the wings yet but if the rest of the food is an indicator, it’ll be worth every penny. ”
“ Dont judge a book by its cover. Amazing service! Amazing food! Bring your appetite...burgers are gigantic! Can't say enough good things. House made tartar sauce, fry sauce, and dressings. Bottomless hand cut fries, too! Plenty of drinks to wet your whistle! Great spot in historic downtown Chehalis. ”
“ So we wanted To try somewhere we hadn’t been before. Upon walking in, we realized it was a little bit more of a dark, bar setting. There was a band getting ready to play and setting up. But we thought we’d give it a try because the reviews were pretty good. My husband ordered a steak, and I had a salad and fries. The steak came out with grilled onions and mushrooms on it and was cooked to perfection. My husband absolutely loved it, and was very pleasantly surprised. It’s not a steakhouse or a place that you’d expect to get such a great steak, but it was amazing. ”
“ Had the PBB burger which was fabulous. Peanut butter on a burger may sound weird but don't let that deter you from trying, it is a banger for sure. Games were cool. Would recommend. ”
“ This is an amazing place with amazing food for reasonable prices. My wife and I were there on Friday night.. There was only the bartender and the kitchen manager running the kitchen. But the food was good prepared well And we'were served fairly quickly. On friday night they are considered a restaurant untill eleven p, m, but they start karaoke at eight p m.. They have A Great sound system and a cool stage to sing on. Give me a loud kids to come in and do karaoke from 8 to 11 PM on Fridays. Also their bottomless fries are amazing good. ”
