  Have been there for the first times in the past month.  My 2 visits were OK/good.  Service was friendly and timely.  Food was what I would expect in the Bar in the woods. Locals where your typical conservative (Obama a communists)  types, at least the bar had sports on (not news). 70s tunes was the music of the day. Worth a stop.

  Yelp* has a habit of trowing out 1 Star reviews automatically.  So I had to give this place 2 stars, although it did not rate either one.  This place is Horrible.  If you go to the UNFILTERED reviews you will see that I am not the only person who thinks that the BEERTenders deserve to be replaced.  They are there only to serve their friends.
  If you are not their friend, you will wait for service.

  Unless you are friends with the bartenders, expect to wait a while. Even if you are a regular.

  I don't go here for the food. It's 2 star at best. Nothing is bad mind you, but nothing is good either. I go here because there is almost nothing else in Highland Lakes that compares! Reasonable burger, great waitresses. They just redid their menu so perhaps there will be an improvement- We shall see. Good outdoor bar in the summertime with some music. $1.00 Margaritas on Monday nites-I'd rather pay 5'xs more for better one's but... I know I'm bad-mouthing but it's Vernon we're talking about. OH GOD I wish they had better food!

  Good food and beer. Summer time this place seems to be pretty lively on the weekends based on the outside bar in the back. Sundays get especially lively since alot of the bikers drop by and also the mens softball league (which is fairly large in vernon) all seem to end up there all day long.

  I was in town skiing so I figured I'd try the food here, as it was perhaps the ONLY restaurant I saw.  Well maybe there were 1 or 2 others, but they looked terrible and empty.  I walked in to this place and the bar was packed, too packed for my taste.  Lots of locals, just standing around listening to pop music, was strange and I was bored just looking at them.  The food was absolutely disgusting.  Perhaps the worst meal I've ever had.  Really.  Started with the jalepeno popers, which were typical fried frozen crap.  They did not taste all that bad, except for the fact that they were swimming in oil.  Its as if instead of frying them, they decided to give them a slow oil bath.  There was a pool of oil under each one.  Disgusting!  Next I had the ribs, wow, just horrible.  They were either old, or deep fried, or something off, because the meat looked broken and very dried out.  They were swimming in a gross BBQ sauce... not grilled with the sauce, but cooked, thrown on the plate, then a heaping pile of sauce was thrown on.  They were the fattiest ribs I've ever had.  The fries were oily, but the best part of the meal.  It was not cheap either and my company did not enjoy their prime rib at all, it was way over salted.  Horrible, pathetic food, cooked by someone who clearly does not care what they serve.  Leave this place to the locals and keep on driving!

  This place has a great Tiki bar out back.  Awesome on a hot summer's night with a band going.  However town noise ordanance requires the band shut down at 10pm.  The service here is slow but thats because there are so many people.  On a band night it is often difficult to find parking.  The young crowd hangs here on Fri and Sat nights.  The food is excellent for bar food.  It would be nice to see some young hot bartenders.
