If you want a fun local experience of silliness, music & questionable singing, then stop by for an evening of entertainment. They also have a menu of delicious foods. We had a serving of jumbo wings for a late night snack, and they were served hot tasty and with fast service. Delicious and there ate 35 flavors to choose from. Traditional Buffalo with blue cheese dip, yummy yummy Our hostesses with mostest hospitality were FREAKING AMAZING. Thank you for your kindness, Gail, and her daughter Kristen Sweetness... after an earlier disappointing set of circumstances, they were fabulous. Friday are fish and chips, and we need to go back to try them. Little secret Shop & support local treasures.

It’s a dive bar. But the food is awesome. I only wish they had craft beer.

From the minute I walked in I felt like I was at home. This is now my GO TO bar. Amazing wings, amazing staff, cold beer, great portions and pricing. There is literally nothing negative to say. Efforts to upgrade the dining experience are underway and I couldn't imagine how this place could raise the bar higher than it already is, but Gail and Darryl are working hard and truly care about the clients. I will be there everyday during my visits to St Catherine's. Cant wait to have the fish and chips tonight! Well, after having the fish and chips I have to say it is probably the best I've ever had. And I know everyone says they have the best fish and chips, but I eat them all across the country and this is still probably the best I've ever had. Cant wait to be back in town again

The wings were great and beer was cold. Great service. Friday only fish and chips is fantastic. Nice crispy batter with generous portions of cod. Fries and coleslaw are top-notch too. Fish and chips available Thursday and Friday now.

A friend or 2 recommended their fish and chips so we decided to check it out. There was a live band so a $10 cover. We sat on the patio as it was a nice day and ordered a ceasar, beer, crab rangoon and 2 of the 2 piece fish and chips. The ceasar was made perfectly which isn't common for a lot of places. The crab was very good but the Fish and Chips was incredible! I not only would definitely recommend but looking forward to our next visit. The staff are very friendly as well as the other patrons.

This looks like one of the oldest places. Sitting here feels like time stopped in the 1980s. Very nice customer service, delicious wings. They still have the older game machines and darts and pool table. Would come back again
