    Get the fried chicken plate and smear the honey butter all over the chicken. Hot fish is DAMN SPICY!

    Be prepared to not be able to find a seat and receive extra shitty service. After you've come to terms with that, order the chicken sandwich or the burger. They will make up for everything else.

    Two words...honey butter. Fried chicken was good - burning hot, but good. That honey butter was something else though.

    Was a total zoo on a Wednesday night. Barely room to move. We were lucky to find a table. Amazing frozen margs, $10 each.

    The "Adult Cheese" is possibly the best grilled cheese I've ever had. Nothing fancy but boy is it good!

    I like: the beet and corn salad, the fried chicken, the staff, and the back bar- if Milton is working, ask for a buttermaker.

    It takes a whiskey drink, it takes a vodka drink. It takes a lager drink, it takes a cider drink.

    $3 whiskey shots. $3 beers. Up North-Michigan-cottage-basement vibe. Basically the best.

    “Williamsbrau” beer for $3/pint seems eminently reasonable for a place like this though

    The fried chicken plate and the 7 layer dip are crazy good. Split it all though since portions are big.

    While the planters punch may look a bit silly, it is very potent. 2 of those and you'll feel no pain. And all the chicken dishes are incredible.
