First time here. It was fantastic! Everything about it is great! Great service, great food. Clean restroom, clean tables and bar. Will definitely return to sample more menu items.

They never disappoint. Wings are always perfect and you get a lot! If you haven't been there, you have to go. They are cash only, but they have an ATM machine.

the food here is worth the drive up from Atlanta we took all on its own (headed up there for a wedding too!) always get the wings, they are AMAZING!

Typical bar food with some twists, the staff is always super friendly and even when busy attentive I’ve never had a bad experience.

A nice local bar with good food. I just had a dressed burger well done with chips..simple fare, but good. Mixed drinks were good. Service (one orders at the bar, but the food is brought to you) was good. They were known for their wings in the past, but we didn't get any that evening.

Classic Elmira wing place that's a must stop whenever I make it back to my hometown. Wings are classic. Burgers perfect. Fried food heaven. They get backed up quick during dinner service, but be patient it's worth it and drinks are more than reasonable. A lot of regulars, but newcomers are welcome with "open arms."

Moved out of state and could never find wings like this ever again. Literally the best wings ever!!! I miss them :(

Awesome wings and their grilled chicken sandwich is delicious!!!!
