Closed Sundays and Mondays, but open for brunch and dinner on Saturday. Tuesday through Friday is open for lunch and dinner. As with many local restaurants it closes in the afternoon to prepare for dinner service. This is a great restaurant with a spectacular screened in porch in back.

Only 6 blocks from my house, Wild Bill's is my favorite juke joint in town. Late night live soul music. DO NOT walk there. My recommendation is to take an Uber or Lyft. Another option is to hire Tad at American Dream Safari (listed as 343 Madison under Sightseeing) to host you there or any number of other juke joints.
