  Walk by, look inside for a glimpse of an old-time saloon, then turn around and find someplace else to eat.
  This place is in need of serious help! Like a total renovation of decor, staff, and menu. This bar has sooooo much potential as a historical site, but it looks like a flea market with a hodge-podge of junk stuck everywhere.  The menu had an interesting history of the bar, which was great because I needed something to do while waiting 15 minutes for a glass of water.  Honestly, that should have been the first clue to just get up and go!  
  I originally placed an order for soup and salad bar, but changed my mind after seeing the congealed dressings and meager selection.  However, our waitress didn't return to our table for 10 minutes after taking our order, and I was worried my food would hold up the entire order.  We were able to flag down waitress #2, and I asked her to change my salad bar to a bowl of chili, and let her know it was fine if my chili came out after the rest of the family's food.
  Waitress #2 retuned with my chili within a few minutes.  It was super spicy, which I happen to like, but most people could not have eaten it.  Lots of peppers!  About the time I had finished my chili, waitress #3 dropped off the rest of the food.  Too bad the fries weren't as hot as my chili.  While they did appear to be homemade, they were cold.  The hamburger looked like a hockey puck, about 3" around and 2" thick.  The chicken seemed to be pressed and from a box.  All three sandwiches were shaped exactly the same.   Refills on soda or water, Ha!  Forget that!
  Waitress #1 eventually tossed our bill on the table.  When we pointed out that I had not eaten the $8.00 salad, she rolled her eyes!  Really?  Excuse me!  
  One positive note.  The bartender (manager?) was really working hard.  He came out several times with drink orders.  He pointed out tables with customers waiting for service and spoke with several diners.  If everyone there had cared as much as he did, this place might be saved.
