Reviews

Great spot. Will be back! Bartenders today were 5 stars Get the chips not fries!

Scuba Steve

Had a pretty good experience. Atmosphere gives off average bar vibes. Service received was great as could be with only one waitress and one hostess running the whole place by themselves when it was busy. Food was really good especially this far out from city chefs. Recommend to a friend.

Joshua Saxon

Food was great,atmosphere was fantastic. Only reason I won't say the service was a 5 is because our waitress wasn't to attentive to us in the beginning but that bartender was wonderful, think her name was Brittany.

We were visiting Forest City and found Hoot Nannie on a google search. We had an amazing time. My 6 year old LOVED the green beans and cheese curds, chicken tenders and the burgers were a close second. We enjoyed the environment and the great service.

The Dirty Sanchez double burger and fries was a great lunch. The waitress was excellent as well.

S Damron

I had already eaten a corner before I decided this was so good I wanted to review it. I went hoping to eat a hamburger steak and there wasn't one on the menu- all I had to do was ask. It was delicious. Service and food were both great!

Hal Hines

Much better our second time. Angel was awesome and was a great server! We will be back. I had Philly cheese steak with house chips, pork rinds w/cheese. Tommy had slides BBQ and chips on Texas Toast.

Audrey Lancaster

My family just ate there twice in 3 days because of how good this place is!! The food is delicious, try the wings! We had Taylor as our server and she was hands down one of the best servers we’ve ever had. She took such good care of us. And everyone was just so nice. Super great place to take your kids too! Everyone makes you and your babies feel welcome! They also have really good lunch deals and daily specials to check out!
