Our Guestbook
“ The facility looks very nice from the outside and we look forward to stopping in when we are back in the area . . . they are open. We drove about 30 minutes out of our way to visit only to find out they were closed. Hours appear to have changed due to the current COVID environment. Google updated the hours to show they are closed on Sunday. It's okay because we, as a family, were just enjoying being with each other. ”
“ The food was great and they have plenty of games and things to do and look at while you are waiting on food or even after. Knick knacks to buy and souvenir to purchase. They have axe throwing and splatter painting. Very fun. Got it kill zombies throwing axes as well. Our coach for axes was very informative and she was also the owner. It was my wife's birthday and we had a blast and they were very accommodating even tho they were understaffed they tender to our every need. ”
“ Can’t say enough good things about the venue, the people, the service. We had over 30 people for my husband’s 50th birthday party, even asked for a special pizza (on the pizza buffet package that includes wings, salad, mozz sticks, fried cauliflower, sodas, & bottled water for ONLY 10 each!! ) due to a guest’s dietary restrictions. I was a little worried when we first got there because I was told they were short staffed but everything was absolutely perfect. The food wasn’t even put out late, special order pizza & all. I’m never good at any games but I even got an ax to stick . We were able to hook up to their Bluetooth speakers and play our own music. The coach was fun and engaging. Everyone had a wonderful time. Highly recommend. ”
“ The food here is excellent. Milkshakes are well made. Plenty of Variety on the menu at good prices. Definitely a small town middle of nowhere location. But it’s got a good vibe. We went in their off hours at lunch so it was quiet for us but I could see it being loud. It’s a pretty small place. ”
“ Found this place while passing through the area. The veggie pizza and fried mushrooms I had was so delicious! I would recommend their bottled sodas, Dad’s cream soda was good and the black cherry soda was very good. They had small table games and offer axe throwing (need reservation). I would visit again if I’m in the area, I’d love to try the axe throwing! ”
“ Axe throwing facilities 5 star, food 3-4. The axe throwing was super fun with lots of different images being projected which kept the games fun and interactive. The coach was fun and showed us how to properly throw the axes. It’s 20 per person for one hour and 35 for two hours. Once you go once they give you a coupon card for 5 off. It was fun enough that one hour flew by. It was just the two of us so we got lots of throwing but I imagine if you are there with a large group you may spend part of your hour waiting. Something to consider when you decide when to go. As far as the restaurant goes, the food is good quality, hot, and the service is friendly. It was weird how little fries were served with the meal and the “roll” that was listed on the menus in the chicken tender meal was a half a slice of toast. It was 7.50 for a two piece and a little more for a 3 piece. There were literally only 5-6 small to medium size waffle fries though (see picture) which is not what I expected. I’d try it again though, maybe they just got it wrong this one time?.. Either way we will certainly be back for axe throwing and bring friends with us next time. ”
“ It was a wonderful experience! Cheri and all of the staff have done absolutely wonderful with the place. The axe throwing was a lot of fun and everything there is budget friendly. ”
“ This is such an amazing locally owned place! The staff were so friendly and even invited my daughter to sing karaoke! The burgers were delicious and I highly recommend the friend banana peppers. Overall definitely worth the drive from many of the small towns nearby! Can't wait to visit again! ”
