Great local spot. 8 beers on tap all very reasonably priced. Food specials including half price wings on Tuesday and Shrimp deal on Thursday. Everyone was very friendly. The wings were very good. House cut french fries. Will be back to try other things

I've been coming here for many years through many changes. I do miss all of the sandwiches they made that were named after local towns. I like the creativity different deli like sandwiches. * They have started bringing them back since the last review. That being said, I like this place and the food options. The food is always good, the drinks are well made and the beer changes. That last part can be frustrating but keeping stouts etc. in the summer is pointless so I understand. I can always find something I enjoy with my meal. The staff of great and, live music on weekends and a relaxed atmosphere that is still child friendly. A bar that is a repurposed bowling alley is a nice touch as well. As a fan of a good burger with an equally good beer this is always an option. There is also everything from shrimp to several kinds of tacos. Damn good fish and chips etc.. Any place with live music with an outside seating area and many other seating options, give this place a visit.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining at 3rd Generations Grill, and it was an evening to remember. From the moment we walked in, the laid-back atmosphere set the tone for a relaxed, enjoyable meal. The walls were adorned with vintage music posters that sparked some fun nostalgia, and the live music from a talented local band added the perfect soundtrack to our dinner. We started with the Homestyle Hush Puppies, which were warm, crisp, and paired beautifully with a sweet spread that added just the right contrast. However, the standout from the appetizer list was without a doubt the Deviled Eggs. Filled with an Adobe Chipotle mixture and topped with Maple Candied Bacon, they were easily the best we’ve ever had—bold, smoky, sweet, and creamy all in one perfect bite. For our main course, we went with the Fish Basket, which featured lightly breaded rockfish served with fries and coleslaw. The fish was tender and flavorful, with a crisp coating that didn’t overpower. The fries were golden and satisfying, and the coleslaw was fresh and tangy. 3rd Generations Grill impressed us with both their food and atmosphere. It’s a place we’ll definitely return to—and bring friends next time.

We were on vacation in the area and stubbled across this gem! It was a Sunday evening and dead but we had a great time! Cool atmosphere with good food. Bar tender was friendly and made for a great evening. Menu is a QR code which was nice. We started with the deviled eggs that were more that just a standard egg. Great tastes topped with bacon! I had the steak taco that featured huge steak bites. T had the shrimp platter that had enough for us to share. If you are in the area and want a good place to hang out and have a drink, this is your spot! Pro tip, the regulars that showed up were awesome! Everyone we talked with was super friendly and shared a few drinks with. One guy was the BLING KING master! We left with nine ducks!

Stopped in early Saturday to have some wings and had a great time chatting with the staff. Super welcoming and the food was yummy. Can't wait to go back and try to the fish basket and see some live music. Perfect local place for lunch or dinner with cool musical interior for watching a band.
