I don't drink, but there's Coke products and sweet tea available for those who don't want the cider. The atmosphere is family-friendly and with co...

Corner Grill
American restaurant
👍👍 Food was surprisingly good for the price. I don't know any other place where you can get at ribeye steak with baked potato and salad for $12. Insane!

Big Mikes BBQ
Restaurant
👍 I enjoyed the smokiness and flavors in the BBQ. The brisket sandwich was great, and the smoked wings crunchy exterior reminded me of candied bacon. They were a bit rich for my liking, but they were moist which is what I was looking for. I would defintely want to try some other items on the menu when...
