We absolutely love this place! It is our go-to hometown bar. The entire staff is very down-to-earth and friendly, and happy to see you when you get there. The food is good, and it would be nice to see a few more new items on the menu to choose from. They do try to accommodate if you have a request if they can and are not super swamped❤️

First time being in the establishment, and it was an absolutely fabulous time!! Nice and open atmosphere, good music playing, food was spot on! But the waiter was by far the best gentleman ever to us! Attended to our needs, but really made the granddaughters night! ✌🏼☺️ we will be back for sure!! Thank you

I had the grilled chicken club, and it was very tasty. The chicken was a little dry, but the flavor was excellent, so I didn’t mind. I added French dressing to round out the flavor. My husband ordered the taco salad and he said it was very good, although it didn’t come with salsa.Even though they were short staffed and the dinning room was crowded, the staff was quick and we didn’t have to wait long for our food.

Use to be the best place around to eat. But the other night our experience was less than just alright. We all had fish and mine was horrible. 2 very small pieces and smelled bad. and the ice tea tasted like it had been setting for days..very disappointed..Hopefully it gets better.

We have been here numerous times over the past two years as it is very convenient if you are hiking around the Jordan River Valley (e.g. Deadman’s Hill loop, etc.). Formerly the famed Elmira Inn, home of the potato burger, this place has been offering delicious food for years!They have a great mix of options and everyone in our group has always found something they enjoy - burgers, Polish fare, fish, etc. I would for sure recommend the Polish Platter or the excellent fish sandwich they have sometimes.If you are in the Elmira area, do not hesitate to stop in for some delicious food.Update: April 2022.We were up in the area hiking again and visited for lunch. Our waitress was excellent and the food continues to be great. They had a lunch special - Smelt Basket - that was great!
