The pizza is also a great pick, with plenty of toppings to make it your own, or options to pick a blend they’ve already tested out before. Who wouldn’t love a pizza with bacon, more bacon, and pork on top?

The first Friday of the month is for BBQ ribs if you can get there on time, and on Sunday evenings, you can expect a show from the “open mic” crowd. With small town service and a menu like that, there’s nothing more we could ask for.
