Best KPortal Reviews

Great place to stop. Friendly staff by herself on a Sunday afternoon, but not too busy. They had a busy weekend and were out of some of the items. We ordered thin crust pizza which was good and the Buffalo fried cauliflower was nice and hot.
We will be back to try some of the other items that were not available.
My original review is below. However, on 7/23/22 we made a special trip out to Stillman Valley just to eat here. We’ve been back four or five times since the original review and it has been good. Today was AWFUL. The dried out breaded chicken sandwich was burned and served on burned bun. The Buffalo chicken wrap had almost no chicken and fell apart it was so loosely wrapped. I had to clear the table myself. The server never checked on us. I had to get up three times to find help. I would give this experience no stars if I could. Original review: Surprise! I mean, it really was a surprise. I think it was by far the best service I have ever had. I felt like royalty. The food was very good and the beer select was excellent. We will go back. Did I mention service? Seriously, either it is the training or just the personalities- you have it all going on. Keep it up.
I’ve tried and tried takeout with this place every single time I order a Crispy Chicken bacon Wrap with lettuce and cheese only and say multiple times NO RANCH you guys seem to mess this up every time and every single time there is RANCH all over the d*mn wrap how hard is it to read a ticket that says no ranch? Then I order pretzel bites and get them with no cheese this place is a joke I’ll be taking my money to a business who actually listens to what their customer orders and makes them correctly with everything I paid for. Like I get it one time but seriously every single time i order really no thanks never again.
I believe it is important for businesses to know what is going on in the community so that they are prepared for events and can staff accordingly. It took over 2 hours to get our food. (Not this first time at this establishment) Staff was apologetic but also unprofessional with the reasons they gave. The entire party was polite and patient yet we were asked to "not be mad" several times. We were also told that the owners were having health issues which was unnecessary.
This was my first time here so I'll have to say up front that this review is likely to be adjusted, but my beer was cold, the food was hot and the menu was pretty extensive, including specials which were on the wall. I ordered the steak sandwich and it had great flavor but was a bit gristley. The waitress stayed attentive. It was clean. They have what looks to be brand new dartboards, a new pool table and a new shuffleboard game inside. There's lots of seating. I did not venture out there, but they have an outdoor area in the back that was seeing quite a bit of traffic. The only reason I didn't give the place 5 stars is because I don't give out 5 stars unless the place stands out head and shoulders above similar establishments.
*This picture is from their Facebook page. I did not take one to share. This is a fair representation of what you'll be getting though.
Love this place. Spacious. Nice pool table. Couple of dartboards. Lots of bar seating, variety of sizes of tables for other seating options. Has a DJ some nights with space for dancing. Generally plays country or classic rock music, but also has TouchTunes for later evenings. Great food. Friendly and attentive bartenders and servers. Very reasonable food prices and fairly cheap drinks. Awesome option for lunch, dinner, or a night out. I'm looking forward to summer weather to enjoy their back patio.
Surprised! This home town gathering spot has great food, great workers, and is reasonably priced. Specials every day of the week including Friday fish fry. They just improved their French fries, yay!!
I have been a regular goer for over a year now and will keep coming back. In the summer, they have music on the outdoor deck, too. The parking lot is large but definitely can use work.
All in all, recommend.
We love ❤️ the Rack the food is always delicious & the service is always the best ! Love the patio when the weather is good. Love the bar as well. Saw J Edwards play a acoustic guitar set the night we were there he was incredible. Food favs are pizza , meatball sandwich. Pork chop sandwich, blue gill basket, the fries are great and the cheesecake is off the charts. Free flowing Busch Lights all night long in cans , bottles or draft , CRAZY !!!!!
