Between finding our rhythm during the opening month and dealing with sudden surprises like the water outages, we’re learning fast that every day brings new challenges and lessons.

We want to send a sincere thank you to the Carterville city crews who worked around the clock to restore our water.

As a token of our gratitude, all Carterville city workers get 10% off their dining bill through Sunday, August 23rd. Just mention it to your server when you order. Stop in and let us cook for you!

A huge thank you to the crews for working hard to restore water service today! We are back up and running and will see everyone for dinner starting at 4 PM.

We are temporarily closed due to today's town-wide water outage in Carterville. We know crews are working hard to restore service, and our thoughts are with all our neighbors and local businesses feeling the impact.

Fingers crossed we're back open for dinner tonight. We’ll post updates right here as soon as we know more!

The website is back online, rendering the recent cyber attack a complete waste of everyone's time.

Come celebrate the hackers achieving absolutely nothing with live music from Tim Crosby tonight. Grab a drink, enjoy the show, and toast to functional URLs.

Our website is temporarily taking a nap.

Some aspiring cybercriminals spent all night trying to hack our database to send out phishing emails.

The joke's on them... there is literally nothing in there to get.
However, the non-stop security alerts completely ruined my sleep schedule, so I’m taking the site offline today to patch it and save what's left of my sanity.

In the meantime, you can still feed yourselves by coming into the store, calling us directly, or ordering on DoorDash. Sorry for the inconvenience!

We all have that one friend who has been saying, 'We need to catch up soon' since 2022. Tag them below. If they don't reply within 15 minutes, they legally owe you dinner. Bring them in this week, show your server the timestamp on this thread, and we'll look at them with mild judgment while they pay.

Back open regular hours today. Thanks again to everyone for hanging in there with us yesterday.

​On a side note, at 5 PM today and Sunday, we’ll be playing WWE SummerSlam. The other Tyler (the one the main Tyler is mad at for posting that picture of him) will be at the bar watching every match. If you appreciate the undisputed greatest sport in history, pull up a seat. Just kindly ignore him when he loses his composure during big moments.

UPDATE: We’re back open tonight starting at 6 PM! While we're still under a boil order, our kitchen will be closed but the bar will be open until midnight. Karaoke with Jason Shadowen is STILL ON from 8:30 PM to 10:30 PM! See you soon!
