Go back in time and explore a Supper Club flashback in a rural setting. Located in a place called Five Corners, this is the only building large enough to hold a crowd. Nothing fancy as you walk right into the bar area. You have to take notice of the giant portraits of Mer & Jackie on the back wall. Classic!

Atmosphere: :) :)

Not the most flashy place you've ever been in but it's okay in a crowd of people. If you go on a slow night the walls look a little bare! There's quite a retro feel with round, plastic salad bar that looks like it's from StarTrek. It's a unique experience that everyone should try.

Clientele: :) :) :)

There seems to be a mix of locals and travelers just passing through. Tight quarters make for some good conversation with friendly patrons.

Drinks: :) :) :)

Old fashions were "just okay" as the bar is not very extensive. Our advice is to keep it simple or just stick with beer.

Food: :) :) :)

Adequate selections on the menu with nightly specials. Pretty standard food that is worthy of compliments. Decent salad bar.

Hospitality: :) :) :)

Not the best hospitality at the bar but that may have just been the personality of the bartender. The servers were all very friendly and the meal was enjoyable.

This is a local favorite that is frequented by many regular customers. Another family-owned Supper Club with a very dedicated staff. Located on the frontage road off Hwy 41, expect to have a few drinks at the bar as there us usually an extended wait to be seated.

Atmosphere: :):)

Usually the bar is somewhat crowded as you try to find a spot to wait for a table. Typical surroundings and what you would expect in a Supper Club. Dining area is a bit larger than it looks from the outside.

Clientele: :):)

This Supper Club is known for an older crowd with mostly regular customers from the local area. Everyone is friendly but you tend to feel like an outsider as you walk through the door.

Drinks: :):):):)

Prompt service at the bar with experienced bartenders pouring various drinks. Old fashions were tasty. The bar is a busy and vital component of the place as customers await their tables.

Food: :):):)

Good food on the menu with many selections. One disappointment was the depleted salad bar. Nobody likes waiting to make a salad after waiting so long for a table. Main course is very satisfying.

Hospitality: :):):)

Seems to be a hit-and-miss. It depends on who the server is on any given night. Perhaps there locals have earned more friendliness than the one-time customers but don't let this make you pass this place up!
