The four of us came in for dinner to celebrate a special occasion. The cocktails were okay. We did like the chicken wings, but the calamari was mediocre. Our party ordered the salmon dish and the fish-n-chips. The fish-n-chips were heavily battered and hard. Quite disappointing. Their saving grace was the outstanding service by our server, Shannon. She was friendly and attentive. I was looking forward to try out Midgley’s, came home disappointed.

Came here to meet with friends for a pre-holidays lunch. Our server was fairly new, but super friendly and attentive. She checked in on our table several times if we needed something. Food and drinks were not bad. I ordered the chicken fried steak and it was good portions, but was a little dry and over breaded. My cocktail was good though. Parking was plenty, as the lot is big. Overall, a pretty enjoyable experience.

Its Saturday and we made a reservation just in case. It was our first time so I thought better safe than sorry. We got our table quickly, by the bar. It was busy. Very quickly the bartender came over and asked what we'd like to drink. My husband got a coke and I ordered a glass of Michael and David even though it was $10.50 a glass for a local wine. He came back fast with our drinks and the wine pour was good for the price. He asked if we were ready to order and we were so we got avacado fries, fish and shrimp plate, and filet minion dinner. The avacado fries came and my husband and I both LOVED them. They have jalapeño in them too, perfect heat and creamy goodness with a crunch that's satisfying for texture. I told my husband "If this is how good dinner is going to be, I'm excited. " He agreed. Our dinners arrived and my steak was cooked perfectly, it came with delicious garlic potatoes and asparagus cooked well. I usually am unable to eat a whole plate and always try to get a 6oz steak because I can usually finish it, but did especially well on the 8oz tonight due to it being so good. I only had one bite left that I really wanted to eat lol. The mashed potatoes portion was substantially large compared to the meat so I wasn't able to finish those, but they were very good. My husband's fish plate had good sized shrimp, crispy/flakey fish, and a large portion of fries as well. My husband mentioned that his plate was a large size for the price and delicious. We regularly had servers asking us if we needed anything and could see they were ALL working hard individually but together to give all guests great service. I am DEFINITELY coming back here and am actually looking forward to bringing family and friends to enjoy as well. The atmosphere can be loud, as I said we were right next to the bar, but I imagine that can be rectified by a table selection if your looking for intimacy. The food can seem a bit pricey, but it's delicious and service is great. Its a nice place but you don't need to dress up fancy. It's casual. Like nice casual. Don't wear sweats, wear jeans and a nice shirt. Or a cute dress.

We were incredibly disappointed after hearing decent things from others. Either those people go only for the bar, or a lot has changed in a few months. Showed up for lunch, and everything seemed nice on the patio. Dirty, cluttered tables, but I figured a party had just left. Booth was uncomfortable and sticky, and not properly attached to anything, so don't lean back. We ordered the prime rib dip sliders, some cheeseburger sliders, some loaded fries, and a kid's lunch. The kid's lunch seemed like a great deal, $10.95 for kid's choice of basic kid food (mac n cheese, chicken strips, butter noodles, etc.), a drink, and a cup of ice cream for dessert. My prime rib sliders were more like cold roast beef with a cup of salt water. The "jus" was cold too. No horseradish to speak of. I couldn't eat it. The cheeseburgers were dry, and came with pickles, which wasn't in the description. I can make a better burger from frozen patties and a slice of kraft. These appetizers that we said were our meal didn't come out at the same time either. About 45 minutes later the waitress shows up with the wrong fries, and at that point I told her not to bother. And the kid's mac n cheese was basically oil noodles with some shredded cheese thrown on top. The liquid just tasted like oil and water, no cheese flavor at all. Then it took another 30 minutes just to get a cup of melting ice cream and the check. They were at least kind enough to remove the prime rib from the bill. Service was slow, inattentive, and a disappointment all around. We will never go here again. I'd advise you don't either. At least not for lunch. Maybe they excel at the bar, but not worth it to find out.

Everything is awesome every time we come here. I had the Salmon and shrimp while my wife had the Libster Cob salad. Both were delicious.
