Get the burger, which regulars praise for being done right. The fish tacos are a solid lunch move. Sides like potato skins, spinach artichoke dip, and mac & cheese hold up well. If pot pie is on the specials board and the kitchen's on, it's worth trying. The salad with shrimp is decent if you want something lighter.

Spacious dining room with golf course views, can get noisy when busy. The patio is the real draw, especially for sunset or live music nights.

The kitchen keeps things straightforward. Burgers come cooked right, fries are crispy, and sides like mac & cheese and potato skins are reliable. Seafood leans casual (fish tacos, mussels casino). One caveat: consistency can slip, and on busy nights the food quality isn't always tight.

Guests consistently praise the burgers and the welcoming staff. One recent visitor called the burger "cooked to perfection." The patio and views get love, though some note the food can be hit or miss. Prices keep people coming back, and it works as a solo diner spot or with family.
