Best KPortal Reviews

First time going here. Food was really good. Service was amazing. Me and my wife ask for a special cocktail and she did not know what it was we told her the ingredients and she made it amazing. I would definitely return back. Was an all-around good experience.
A wonderful establishment! The new cook, Mark, is definitely on the ball. The food was cooked made to order, accurately dressed, quality and quantity was two thumbs up. The atmosphere is quietly pleasant yet enough pep to get the spirits going. It is a good place to gather with friends and family or just a quiet evening out solo or with a significant other. This establishment is kid friendly, but most adults choose family time here during the day or dinner. The evenings are most enjoyable being in a non discriminate establishment with a variety of positive kind folks. The staff are extremely catering to each individual wants and they are very patient, respectful, and kind. The staff practice universal precautions in sanitation throughout the hours of their shift. This is a family friendly, stranger friendly, everybody friendly environment. What tops this place off is the most affordable prices from the alcoholic beverages to the appetizers and main dishes. I highly recommend this particular social restaurant to frequent. This is a place of safety and will help contribute to a well balanced quality of life!
Went in Saturday with my husband while visiting our daughter who goes to school. Wanted to have a couple drinks for my birthday. I have to say Haley was an absolute rock star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. She was pretty busy and she didn’t miss a beat. I spent many, many years being behind the bar and in her exact position, but she hustled and kept on smiling- not an easy feat! Thank you for exceptional service! Not to mention the food was AMAZING. Keep up the good work, guys! We will definitely head back when we visit again!
Decent food but the service is not good from the bartenders, the grill cooks are always friendly.
We live right down the street and come here often with our kids for dinner or just the two of us for date night. It's a very laid back/welcoming crowd and you'll never feel out of place here. It's definitely got that small town atmosphere about it. The service and food are great as are the prices.
Side note: try the Sizzler and Caesar salad. Their Caesar dressing is home made and really sets them apart from other places.
My daughter asked me to come be a listening ear for her at the Airliner and I did so. While sitting with her at the bar after purchasing a couple of drinks for us the owner was very rude to me, called me several names all because she assumed I was trying to get with a young woman who was my daughter. I will never return to this dive bar.
Cool little bar with good food and specials. I had the patty melt
I am only giving 4 stars because of the food. We went for dinner and were waited on as soon as we sat down for drinks and dinner. Unfortunately that was the only service we really received. We had our food dropped off and the waitress was gone right away. After noticing we didn't have any condiments on the table, no silverware, and even empty drinks, we waited about 5 minutes and nobody ever came to the table. I had to go up to the bar twice to get what we needed. Once we were done eating, we waited another 15 minutes or so and I had to go up a 3rd time just to get boxes and our check to leave. The food was absolutely outstanding and the cook making it was fantastic. The service was horrible though. They had two girls working and both were primarily at the bar. Just sad considering how great the actual food was. But kudos to the cook at least!
