This is a bar. At 3 in the afternoon, the server was slammed immediately after taking our order and she still nailed it. The Big Pine is best burger I have eaten in 30 years. We also ordered boneless wings with spicy garlic sauce and fries and for bar food, it was lovely.

Been going to this place consistently for 7 years. Staff is wonderful. Some of the kindest no BS ladies this side of the Mississippi. Great food, cold beer, and lots of loyal regulars. Love this place if I could rate it 100 stars I would.
