“ Why isn’t Shoots winning awards on their Friday night fish fry? $16 for the large perch plate! Came with an enormous pile of fillets and fries, I had to get a box for leftovers. Fish was fresh, crispy and hot. This is the fish fry to beat. ”
“ Nice annual car show in September. Good food, good people. This place is much larger than you think just driving by. Large outdoor bar in the backyard. Halloween parties are also pretty fun here. They have live music many times a year. Good dive bar atmosphere. ”
“ The food here is great, we came here on a Sunday. The service was quick and they sat us immediately. Thank you for having us! ”
“ This place is 10 out of 10 stars if you’re looking for a dive bar that you’ll never forget. Super fun place to hang out and good food if you’re in to greasy spoon meals. Depending on when you visit, it could be a full on club party or surprisingly chill even though you’re surrounded by 600 million Christmas lights. My only complaint was I felt like I was invisible to the bartenders. It wasn’t that busy and it took a long time to get a drinks at the bar all night. ”
“ The burgers were delicious and big - the chicken pot pie soup needed a little salt, but had good flavor. The staff is no-nonsense - they get the job done. And the music is great and the atmosphere festive. ”
