Not a dive, not a high end place - this place sits somewhere in between.I started coming here about a year ago with some friends and we are fairly regular (at least a couple of times a month), normally on Sunday. Why Sunday? Half-price beer. Beer? A decent selection. They rotate a few taps, but there are always some great staples on tap, like Bell's Two Hearted, Jai A'lai, and Zombie Dust. You will also find similar in other styles, including quite a few local and Tennessee beers. Did I mention half-price Sunday?The atmosphere is pretty much a pub. Some high tables, some low. They also have huge windows they open when it is not so god awful hot (like this week). A great place to sit with friends and enjoy a game or wind down after a game. Lots of music memorabilia around the place, including booking photos of both Ozzy and Jim Morrison.The food? Considering this is a diner-style place (kitchen behind the bar), the food is pretty damned good. This last time I tried the Mission Style wings (see picture), which are decently spiced dry rub chicken wing. Not too hot up front, but it does sneak up on you. I also like the open faced roast beef (also pictured), although I find it gets a bit too rich and I end up taking some home.But, the pièce de résistance has to be the double BLT sliders (yet another picture) which are two types of bacon on a Hawaiin roll with lettuce and tomato. The Pecan and Applewood bacon blend nicely with the Hawaiin rolls, making this a little slice of heaven. And they make great onion rings, as well, so can the fries. Okay?The burgers are also nice (although not pictured here) and you can add gravy to the burger (see my Lauter review?), which must be a southern thing or something. And, if you are really shot in the butt about gravy, have them upgrade to gravy fries.On Sunday, I had the French Onion Soup, which is a bit sweeter than I like, but it was still a nice bowl. On the menu, of what I have had, I find the bratwurst to be something I would prefer to get elsewhere and I would leave the French dip as is rather than add cheese, onions, and peppers, as the combination overwhelms a bit.As a side note, as it does not affect me, the place is kid friendly and has a kid menu - although they will likely be pissing you off my stealing your BLT sliders ... because bacon. (they will throw off the tomato and lettuce, 'cause that's what kids do).In summary, a great little place for a meal and a brew. And bacon.

"Super friendly owner!! We love to come here!! Food is always on point and i love they offer some American cuisine as well since we have some picky eaters!! It pleases everyone!!"
"As locals would know, this area has been a desert for what seems like decades for any decent restaurant beyond fast food. Although I've only eaten lunch here twice, their Reuben is one of the best in Nashville, and their burgers are considerably better than the ones served at the nearby, members only golf club. Too new, I suppose, to have a big crowd, and the service & wait time is subsequently, spot on."
