An old wooden buckboard wagon is a focal point along side a large wood burning brick fireplace.  A favorite conversation piece is a mounted 11.5 foot alligator.  The banquet room is an elegant dinning room and is available for private parties, receptions and meetings.  The daily menu consists of barbecue brisket, sausage, pork, ham, ribs, chicken and more.  Also, several fresh homemade sides orders including Mikeska’s favorite banana pudding.  We also serve an all-you-can eat buffet four days a week.
