"It's an awesome and most interesting bar and grill tucked away on a country road by Grand Tower, IL. Quaint little red building with peaceful outdoor seating, dog friendly with delicious food that is home cooked (real food), and a very friendly and informative staff. Must visit if you're in the area. You definitely won't be disappointed! So take a day trip to a slower laid-back destination and enjoy some awesome home cookin!"

"Home cookin' at its finest! Well known for their catfish but my go to's are the fried chicken, fried portabella mushrooms and steak sandwich! The service is fantastic both friendly and fast! And they have slot machines! This place has a special place in my heart as my grandparents Olin "Casey" Thies and Lucille Koch Thies first met at this bar when my grandpa was on leave during WWII. I owe my life to this bar, back then called Ruby's Tavern, I guess you can say! I hear that a Jason and Kristie Thies own this bar so I'm curious if we are related somehow! Must be! And the funny thing is my brothers name is also Jason Thies but totally different person..."
