Surprisingly good food! We ate outside and enjoyed the river views. Service was a little slow but the food was tasty and the fresh cut fries were really good. I had the chicken wrap and we also had a barbecue bacon cheeseburger, it was small but good. I’d eat here again if I was in the area.

Cool little restaurant right on the Ohio river with boat dock access. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Food was well priced and tasted pretty good. Only complaint was the French fries were undercooked. Mango habenro, bbq and garlic Parmesan were great on the wings. Good house burger options and tasty fish sandwich. As other reviewers mentioned it’s slower on the service side so just expect th... Cool little restaurant right on the Ohio river with boat dock access. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Will be back next time I’m in the area.

Pretty average food and service. Food takes a while to come out. Lots of seating. Location is cool. Burger was better than the wings. Not sure how the food compares to other places in the area. Cheap prices. Inside smells like you are inside the kitchen, kinda warm as well. Would try somewhere else next time.

The whole hog burger was down right delicious. Real ground beef burger with fresh cooked pulled pork and flavor in every bite. So good you will struggle to eat every bite before you go. The baskey of froes will feed 4. And the chicken Breast was both tender and juicy !
