Great spot along the rocky broad river to have some pub food and a drink. I tried their cider with jalapeños. The nachos with bbq pork were good. The best is the unique location and multiple decks out back- just chose a spot to sit and chat while you eat. While watching the river flow across rocks and boulders. We watched a blue heron on the hunt for dinner too.
