I really don’t know enough to rate this 5 stars, BUT being from Kentucky and original from Nebraska it’s hard to find good Bourbon in a bar in a small town. This place is rate 5 stars because they have Makers Mark, Makers 46, AND Makers Cask Strength which can be hard to find period. Good job West Central! I’m also here on a very busy day (Apple Jack) and the bartenders and grill are hopping.

This place has super friendly staff and they were slammed during the lunch rush on a fish Friday. They never stopped smiling though. Burger was very good and the prices were reasonable.

Wonderful service once you get to know the bartenders. The Philly cheesesteak and wings are great. Few beers on tap and a good selection of alcohol. Two dart boards and a single pool table there’s smoking outside the front entrance and in the back patio area where you can bring your drinks. Ami jukebox

The people were so sweet to our son. They interacted so much. He asked them to kiss his boo-boo (they did lol) it was like we were family too. I would say maybe a few updates needed like female restroom flooring but food was great. The waitress was preparing the food I saw. Which is fine. Nice time.

So so so cozy. It’s a must stop. You’ll be a local within minutes. Food during lunch, you’ll need to drink your dinner as the grill is closed after lunch. Everything is a double and if you need a ride to the hotel, you’ll have plenty of options.

Great pizza with outstanding taste and quality. The base was perfectly cooked, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. The cheese was rich and melted perfectly, making every bite enjoyable. The staff provided quick and friendly service, and the order was ready on time. I would definitely recommend this place for delicious pizza.
