Reviews

Update: brought company to this restaurant and was very disappointed in the service we received.
The server was very brusque and was not welcoming.
When they could not hear what we were ordering, they practically shouted at us that we need to speak up.
On the other hand, the food we selected this time was very good.
I highly recommend the pot roast, stuffed mushrooms, clam chowder and of course the chicken wings. This establishment has been around for a long time and is well known for their chicken wings. I was very pleased with the chicken wings that I ordered, buffalo and bang bang.
Size of the wings were good and meaty. Unfortunately, I wish I could say the same for the entrées.
Both entrées looked appealing but were on the bland side.
The vegetables used in the entrees seem to be frozen and not fresh, which is a bit of a disappointment, considering the price.
Portion sizes are large.
The soup I had was excellent (Philly cheesesteak soup). Service was great and the atmosphere was pleasant on the patio. There is a little bit of parking next to the building but the larger parking lot is located towards the back. I would definitely come back for the wings and soup, I do not recommend the prime rib or chicken bidwell if you want flavorful food.


Cozy, historic blue collar place! Sunday around 3 was crowded but eventually got a seat.
Food was DELICIOUS! Nachos were topped with a tasty jalapeno relish and were head and shoulders above other restaurants.
Around our table we had blue cheese salad, burger, steak, jerk chicken tacos, chowder (it's thicccc) and french onion soup.
Extensive beer menu, pretty light on the cocktail/booze menu.
No baby changing stations, and bathrooms are tiny! Plenty of parking.
Looking forward to returning next time we're in the area.


Been a dedicated Bidwell fan forever, ordered a bunch of takeout, worst order Ive ever gotten today, apparently it's ok to send wings literally soaking in fryer grease.
Not just a little.
