Final Edition Bar & Grill

Ty (other reviewer) hit the nail on the head when he said, it's like a bar from the Midwest.  A bar you'd find in the boonies of Wisconsin and some parts of inner city Chicago.

Spent the morning on a farm in the ways out doing some serious laborious work.  Heading back to civilization we got the notion of burgers.  Since we were out this way, Buns and Burgers is a usual destination, though today we decided to try the mysterious, black tinted bar next door.

I left the farm and headed for Grand pappy's cabin.  The bar; a real dive, think old brown wood, cozy pub stools, a high step to relax your dogs and a padded arm rest to lay the gun show.  There are all kinds of knick knacks that adorn the walls which is the kind of stuff, someone received and wanted to hang, but their wife just wouldn't allow it.  They don't make bars like this.  

I could have sat in that stool the rest of the afternoon, watched Nascar and downed a couple more Sierra Nevada's.  You'd be surprised to find that they also pour Stella Artois, Widmer Honey and then the usuals.  I'm glad they carry Coor's light, it's a super light domestic that heals the weak and allowed for a productive afternoon.

Food, well it's a bit too expensive to me and the burgers taste like they are of the frozen variety, good but not great.  I hear the salads and soups are made in house which are pretty good.  A cool note, they have an erasable board set up behind the bar which is used to track drinks purchased for friends.  You buy a drink and give them a name.  When your friend stops by, they give their name and collect their drink or shot.  Different but cool.

All the stars its worth. Dark bar, Johnny cash, specials, pool. People here are the kind that don't go on the Internet. My stars may be unnoticed, but they fly high.

This place will surprise you.  When I first walked in I wasn't too sure about it.  It's a bar... like a bar you'd normally find in the midwest.  A little dark, old brown tables sitting around, typical bar to sit at with the beer and sports signs decorating the walls around you.  

The true gem is the food!  I expected to not like this place.  Every part of me was convinced it would be horrible, typical bar food.  It's not!.  They happen to use very high quality ingredients.  They make the spaghetti homemade.  They use pears, tomatoes and other veggies and fruits from their garden (from the owners garden).  The food is fresh and simple and really good.  

I am partial to the diet burger plate that is a bunless burger with a side of cottage cheese and fresh fruit.  I have tried the BLT (one of the best I have ever had!), the French Dip, also very good and the Philly steak.  All great and all with fresh foods and ingredients.  You won't find the typical all frozen food menu here so check it out.

The waitresses are always nice.  Atmosphere is relaxed and could use redecorating but the food is great and it's affordable!
