  Drove 50 miles to eat here, unbelievably terrible! Four of us got the all you can eat Walleye, if you could call it that, and it did not even taste like fish. The outside was crispy but the fish had no texture or firmness it was mushy like soft wet mashed potatoes. Told staff and manager and all we got was, sorry.

  A very diversified menu and great sports bar ambience.  Lots of Happy Hour beverage choice.  Service was friendly, attentive, and, prompt.  We tried both the cheddar burger soup and the New England clam chowder.  Both were hot, fresh, and, very tasty.  Our entrees included both the baked and the pan fried walleye - delicious.  Of note are the red skin potatoes.  Not for sure but they tasted to be boiled, then quartered and pan fried with onions and peppers then topped off with a Cajun seasoning.  Not sure if that prep description is correct but their recipe and prep for the redskins is absolutely one of the best.  This was our first time dining here.  We will definitely be back soon!

  Staff was friendly and food was okay. They had a large outdoor area to seat but for some strange reason it was not served and you had to order from the bar. Nothing special, they had some cool bikes on the wall.

  Stopped in for the Ride for Hope motorcycle ride on 08/11/12, to benefit the Hope center in Adrian.  It was rainy, yucky but we were ridin'!  Artesian Wells was the first stop.  The staff and people there were great. All of us wet and cranky bikers girls using their bathroom to try to dry our pant in the hand-dryer and just get warm.  they didn't mind.
  
  Beer was cheap. $2.75 for a Miller Lite
  
  Neat decor.  Wasn't busy for a Saturday, but it was only around 11am. We will surely visit again, on bikes, in better weather.

  Here on Saturday, 6/23/2012, for lunch with a group of seven.  Server Debra was extremely efficient at taking our drink order upon being immediately seated.
  
  On this day, there was an all-U-can-eat BBQ rib special that was $12.99!  We didn't have any idea, but Debra gave us the low down and helped us with our questions and decision making; a lot of choices on their great menu, here.
  
  The ribs were very good; pre-cooked, but finished on the grill, obviously, before being served; crunchy edges and moist inside.  There were multiple choices of BBQ sauces, too.  We also had the following at our table:  Perch Basket, Shrimp Basket, Taco salad and a couple of orders of onion rings.  Food was very good.
  
  We could tell that the place was maybe busier than they expected.... They could have used another (serive) bartender; the one was overwhelmed and the servers had to get their own cocktail and beer orders, thus, a lot of running around and a bit of anxiety on all the servers faces, but our server Debra did an outstanding job.

  The Harley Davidson themed bar/restaurant is conveniently located off US12 and 127 has a friendly if not efficient wait staff.    The meals are generally overpriced and the quality is average to very good.  TV's are viewable from every seat so not a bad venue for a sporting event.  I've had the steak several times and the quality seems to be inconsistent at best.   Bar food plain and simple.    Check the prices of the "specials" on the board when you come in, usually the same price as the menu.
  Folks seem to like the all you can eat fish and ribs.   I can't house that much chow so I can't comment.

  I've had a few burgers here and they always come out hot and juicy.  The burgers are about $8.50 for a half pounder. You can make it a one pounder for an additional $3.  Now that's a burger! The fries are hot and crispy and if you want something else they have a full menu with daily specials and the food looks good. I've always enjoyed good, friendly service and a clean table. Good sports bar stop after a day's ride for a cold drink and a hot sandwich or meal.
