“ Best. F*cking. Onion. Rings. I've. Ever. Haddd. From Ohio - stayed at Stillwater Stables last minute (highly recommend this airbnb) - came to this sweet little spot to eat, listen to a live band, and enjoy a hell of a view of the water. If you skim across this place and find yourself wondering, should I go here? Yes, because they serve food until the bar closes. ”
