This place was nice. Nice place to go with friends/family to chat, laugh and have a beer. 4/5 just because it wasn't "exceptional." Nothing stood out, but nothing was bad.
FOOD:
Nice presentation. Bacon-avocado burger was loaded with toppings, and fries were cooked just right. Fish was crisp on the outside and juicy in the center. California rolls held together nicely. Burger buns were a bit stale.
PRICING:
Fair pricing for this area. Burger and fries & fish and chips were roughly $13 each. California roll was $8.
SERVICE:
Great service. Waitress was very attentive, and remembered all orders/requests. She took both another tables and my wife and my order without writing them down, and we received what we ordered. Our order was received in a reasonable manner.
ATMOSPHERE:
Atmosphere was on par with any bar and grill type restaurant. Offered a TV for sports. Plenty of space between tables so that it didn't feel cramped. -

Sadly, this place did not produce a wow for us.
My mahi mahi wrap was all filler (lettuce tomato, etc.) on one half, all the fish was in the other half. The wrap itself was devoid of any sauce and was uninteresting.
My wife's chicken caesar wrap suffered mostly the same fate. It was just uninteresting.
Both came with a tiny amount of fries on the side, that were just OK.
Bathroom is outside. You have to use one of the keys hanging by the door. The men's key was missing almost the entire time we were here. I know that's not the restaurant's fault, but it made my time there uncomfortable.
This is someplace we'd likely not look to return if we're ever in this area again.. -

According to their signage their Happy Hour lasts longer than the typical 2-3 hours that are normally seen. Apparently it ends at 8pm (which is nice actually and pretty uncommon especially when you're not close to hotels). They list their specials outside of their doors and inside closer towards their stage. There is enough space to seat a larger party (6-8 probably from the looks of it) or for a group of 2.
Interior looks the same from when I first came years ago (not sure if that speaks to keeping them on brand or things just never change).
We had our orders mixed up from the get go. Additional dishes were brought to our table that we did not order (not always a bad thing since you might see something that you do want to try). So just be aware of your order to check and make sure it's what you wanted. Our server was apologetic and pleasant about the mix ups.
I ordered fries and one of their speciality rolls that they were promoting. Their spicy crab roll was a little misleading I thought it was going to be fresh crab but it was imitation crab (it should have been called a spicy California roll). Another in my party had their shrimp tempura roll which looked pretty good. The tempura is not on the set menu but you definitely can ask to order it and they were very accommodating.
Overall, the food was pretty good and if you're not stuck on interiors you'll have a pretty good time. Check out the menu before hand or take the specials a twirl.
If you do need the bathroom there is a key available for the facilities within the complex (one isn't directly in the restaurant). -

My wife and I came in for a drink before our flight and were given excellent service, despite the waitress having around 10 tables to work on her own.

We went as a group of 7 people and waited over 45m for food- so that's a bummer. It's a small establishment so if you have large groups, just make sure you realize you may be waiting quite a bit for food.
The burger I got- mushroom Swiss was delightful. Good flavor within the meat and a good bit of mushrooms. Now my only gripe is the fries- yeah totally delicious on my plate but my friends plate had crispy fries and my other friends had soft fries-- the consistency was off. I would just be vocal if you want crispy fries :)
Parking; tons of parking, free no charge. Shouldn't be a hassle and a gas station nearby so you can fill up your tank too.
No public restroom but you can walk outside with a key and use the community center bathroom.
Music is fine- but a little loud in certain areas while you sit down.
Beer- okay so apparently they were out of 3 types (I'm not a drinker) but it frustrated quite a bit of people on our table. Selection was made to look great but not there. So if you are looking for a specific type of beer--- call ahead to see if they have it.
