As highlighted by satisfied patrons, lounging on the shaded patio beneath a towering tree with views of the shimmering canal creates a serene yet social dining environment that feels like a hidden retreat.

    The spicy boneless pork chops and sweet potato fries are consistently terrific. And extremely well priced. There's always some good beers on tap. Friendly dudes behind the bar. Nice deck on a warm sunny day.

    Sunday brunch food was great- especially the sausage gravy! Nice casual atmosphere. Self service especially at busy times, but the staff is friendly and welcoming.

    My family and I went here and had a really nice lunch on their shaded patio. It was a great spot and the food was scrumptious we loved the view of the canal and the natural shade of the big tree growing right through the patio! The quesadilla was huge and tasty and the jalepeno poppers were just so good! Those sweet potato fries were addicting!

    Excellent food and drinks in a perfect atmosphere Back porch over a river, cooks and owner are so kool, drinks like Carmel apple drive us to talk about it for months. It's called a Carmel apple mule and it was a comment "this is the best drink I ever had" add a lemon or lime, so good

    This place is a really good dive bar. The outdoor patio is nice and the tiny little kitchen puts out some really delicious food. Burgers and wings are great.

    The Taco Libre Burger special was really good. It’s actually one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Hopefully they put this on their menu someday!!
