wow. Â
we've driven by several times seeing quite a few cars in the lot, saying "let's check it out sometime". Â I really wanted to like it because, let's face it, there aren't many options in these parts. and I'd gotten my hopes up because it looks pretty nice on the outside (clearly they spent some money on this venture).
Obviously the kitchen doesn't get many "salad" orders, but it WAS on the menu. Â I rarely order a salad, and have never written a review based on a salad. But...
My daughter received a mound of iceberg lettuce and tomato on a plate , with what was clearly a single piece of Kraft cheese (yes, the kind where you peel the plastic off each slice). Â The "chef" creatively cut the cheese (no pun intended) into 5 strips and laid them out in a border surrounding the lettuce. Â Your mouth is probably watering by now.
One saving grace - Â I think the waitress felt bad, because she didn't charge us for the "salad". I think she was trying..
Oh, you'll probably enjoy calling EVERY item on the menu by some stoopid cutesy name (Al Capone Fries, Tommygun chicken sandwich, etc.).
We were given "prime" seating within 10 feet of a "musician" with a synthesizer and drum loop, playing pitiful self-penned ballads. Â When she didn't turn the volume down (nice distortion there sweetheart), we asked to be relocated. Â No can do - "yer' daughter is a minor, and can't sit 'in the bar". Â
A customer seated alone with a handful of tattoos looks down at his beer, out the window, and then down at the floor. Â This guy is clearly not having a good time either (but I think for different reasons). Â I pictured him being the musician's husband. Â "Damn Ed! Â Junior has my car, and I need a ride to my gig!!"
A couple of drunk women wander over to the jukebox and feed it money in the middle of the musician's "set". Â Normally I'd object...(no one else did either). Â
I do need to ask - what does a "Bar and Grill" need a stripper pole on the stage for?
Friendly enough staff, really well done decorating.  They capture the theme well and the inside looks very nice with  the gangster theme.  We had a lunch here and it was plastic cups of pop and plastic baskets featuring SAMs club type food.  Im sure the bar portion would be very cool later on but being that its rooted in cedar lake, it feels like it would be nothing but unwelcoming patrons
Review Source:The food here is top-notch...my Italian sausage sandwich came with a nice, heavy red sauce and perfectly melted motz to match. The prices are very reasonable...around $20 for two adults to have lunch and a drink. Not bad. I can't vouch for the bar scene, as we stopped in around lunchtime just to eat. The beer garden looks very nice --can't wait to check that out this summer!
My only complaint is the cigarette smell --it is overwhelming when the bar is very empty. I can't imagine how strong it gets on a busy night. It would definitely affect my decision on whether or not to eat here in the evening.
Very cool place, our waitress was very pleasant. The pizza was very good it did take about 30-40 minutes after we ordered but was worth the wait. On top of that it was half price (maybe a valentines special) the place was packed and the atmosphere was very inviting.We will be returning that is for sure!!
Review Source:"Fuh getta bout it!" This bar and grill in such an unlikely place of Cedar Lake intriguing me to stop in with it's 20's and 39's gangster theme. It's a great looking restaurant with a huge outdoor seating area. The insides peppered with pictures of gangsters, but I was instantly put off by the tvs showing either sport enter or spike tv, why not some videos of gangsters as well?
The food was average. I had e Dutchman and the burger on a pretzel roll was ok, nothing I'd get again. The chips were tasty but greasy.
The place is definitely not smoke free and I can see when this place is busy at night this could be an annoyance for some. They have a good size stage inside and probably have some good shows to put on, but once again being in Cedar Lake, who could they get to come out down here?
