Excellent food and service! Will be back!

Friendly and quick service! The bloody Mary was Very good. I love bloody marys and this one did not disappoint with flavor. We just had the pickle popper Appetizer. Wow those are yummy!

Great destination to get to on the RZR. Everything we've had here has been really good. Reuben, chicken cordon blue, brisket dip....As of August 16, 2018, right now the kitchen doesn't open until 4pm on Monday and Wednesday.

This was my first visit here. It is now called Shambies. We sat on the back porch. They have outside games available and can even provide a bonfire.

Had the fried chicken and they allowed me all dark meat which was nice. One of the sides was the salad bar which was excellent. The dinner rolls were amazing. Super friendly bar tender. Had pull tabs and the game on tv while I waited for my food. All in all a great experience

Our party of four were out ATVing the trails and stopped in to have lunch. This restaurant has always been our halfway stop and today like before was alway a pleasure. The place is sparkling clean and inviting. Our hostess, Kayley, served up our beer and delicious food with her gracious hospitality. I also like to mention the restaurant is very pro military with a special memorial to our veterans in the outside bar. Love this place.

The bartender on Thursdays is great. Foods phenomenal. If you're willing to get off the beaten track you should check it out.

This place is excellent. Cheap drinks, delicious food. Bar type atmosphere. Came here for the poutine, not on menu, not sure why not, they do an awesome job with it.
