Tomorrow is National Cheese Curd Day, which is basically a holiday built for us. Ours are hand-breaded and fried to order, $12.00 (half off during happy hour 3:00 pm- 5:00 pm)

Iowa cheese curds - crafted with creamy, Iowa-made white cheddar cheese and then carefully hand-breaded and fried golden. Served with marinara or ranch.

Our #1 appetizer.

No further explanation needed. 🤤

Corn chowder season is here. Warm bowl, cool, rainy October day.

Soup pairs especially well with our weekday lunch sandwiches, including the Brisket Grilled Cheese, BLT, and BBQ Pulled Pork, available Monday through Friday from 11–2. It also makes an easy side with any entrée or sandwich you choose.
