    I didn't get the staff waitress's name and sorry for that because she was awesome!

    As a solo diner, I stopped by Crystal Lake to see the downtown. I have never been there before. To be honest, I just needed to use a bathroom and Finn's had just literally opened, so I decided to stop in and have a brew and a bite to eat.  

    It was half-priced drinks and appetizers Thursday and I got a brew (delicious blond) and an order of chicken fingers and fries.  The food was nicely arranged and well but not overcooked.  

    I felt so comfortable there dining on my own and the waitress was nice as pie.  She was talkative and didn't seem to mind a solo diner who was spending a small amount.  I tipped her well enough for my modest meal.

    I will return with friends.  Loved the food and the service.  The atmosphere is a bit dark but cozy.

    Lots of bad reviews but I just don't see why.  We had wings and, they weren't stellar, kind of flavorless.  But then we ordered buckets of ribs and they were really good.  The service was excellent.  Our drinks were always full and the food was hot.  This was a Saturday afternoon.  Lots of groups and everyone seemed happy.  I'll come back and give it another try.  Good drink specials.

    The food here is very underrated. It's quality bar food at a price you can't beat! Always has tons of flavor. Great place to watch a game. Although, most the time I come here is Friday or Saturday. They bring in a dj late night. The place gets pretty packed with good looking people and is always a fun time. I usually win on their slot machines too!

    This place is supposed to close at 2 but they kick everyone out by 1:30 or earlier. If you say you're open till a certain time then you're supposed to let people stay until that time comes. Not only do they kick people out early but they do it rudely. I like coming here but what's the point in telling everyone to leave before you even close.
