“Had such a wonderful experience tonight. Had a reservation for 6 people one of which was a child. Our server I believe her name was Maddie was so beyond fantastic. She always made sure our drinks were full and that we did not need anything. She was so helpful and so sweet. She went above and beyond and completed my sons and how well he was doing in the restaurant. She was amazing, so happy she was our server tonight!“

“I had the patty melt, and it was perfect! My daughter had the pulled pork sandwich, and she said that if you love pulled pork, you'll love this sandwich! My friend built his burger and asked for double patties. When it came, he said that if he'd known how big the patties were, then he would have ordered a single. But, it was so good that he ate the whole thing! We also ordered the stuffed jalapeño peppers as an appetizer. I ate two, but the others at my table said one was enough because they were spicy hot. They were hot, but they were very tasty!

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.“

“My family has been here a number of times the past few years as well as ordered from them during the pandemic, and they have never disappointed. The staff have always been very kind and welcoming. The food has also been great. I maybe ate at Chili's once growing up, and this location specifically has made me realize I sure was missing out. We will continue to come here in the future.“

“It was fabulous. The pizza and wings are delicious. We will definitely be back when we want pizza.“

“good food nice customer service“

“5 star food service and atmosphere. Great menu choices for everyone including sushi not usually seen in a sports bar and even got to talk to the chef who is very informative as soon as we got there. A gentleman with a black cowboy hat said it was open seating. Suggested a few areas the waitress was there within seconds. It was busy because it was a Sunday afternoon games were on got the drinks fast and the food was served hot and in a reasonable time I would highly recommend this place. This was the first time we will be back.“

“Good food very good service thanks“

“Good food and service…jalapeño cilantro hummus is delish!“

“Good food nice atmosphere“

“The only reason atmosphere has 3 stars is that one of the AC units was down and it was over 107° outside. Making 1/2 of their dining room unable to be used. However, the manager on staff and the girl in training took care of everything and handled everything with diligence and care.

The food was great!!“

“I don't understand why so many people are upset over their corn beef hash. No it is not from a store bought greasy can that almost appears to be dog chow (by the way I like it too). However! I found it good and fresh because it's home made. It is not fatty and stringy like most say, it is lean and shredded mixed with freshly fried potatoes. It's not full of sodium like the canned so you will probably have to season to taste. Hot sauce works for most, don't like it hot. A little salt and pepper is enough. I thought their pancakes where very good. Very airy, and good sized. Unlike many have written that they where to small. It is a bit on the pricey side, but I paid $13 for two filet O' fish sandwiches from M.D. So it's all a bit relative.

I am definitely going back.“

“I had a great time playing music bingo!“

“Me, my girlfriend and my family had a really good experience today with Vyda. She was really considerate and helpful, she listed everything on the menu and explained everything on it too as this was our first time here.

I really appreciated and so did my family, her enthusiasm, friendliness, and hospitality. She explained the spice levels, even was personal with her favorite sauces on the menu.

Absolutely loved it here! She absolutely deserves every tip she gets and is worthy of a raise at that! Thank you Vyda for the great night!“

“Tried this place for the first time last week and already came back a couple days later!. The pizza is really good ?.

Want to give kudos to the waitress working yesterday (06/20/24). She was absolutely slammed. I think I counted 11 tables she was working by herself. She was going nonstop and people kept coming in. She didn't forget any items and brought all our food out in a timely manner.“

“Nice staff, good food. Cold brew!“

“We were there at 11 am today - Thursday June 6. The music was the perfect level. I could hear it but it didn’t stop any conversation. The menu is large and inventive. The portion sizes are huge. Everyone at our table of almost 20 loved their food. Brennan was the server for our half of our large table and he was amazing. A++ 100% for him. It’s tough to handle a large group and he was efficient and very nice. Not a bit of complaint when we wanted all separate checks. I’m glad our experience exceeded those of previous reviewers. I’ll be back!“

“Great food, great service, knowledgeable staff. Expect about a 20 minute wait if you didn't have reservations, but it's worth it. Wait at the bar, talented bar staff and a good variety of spirits to enjoy before your meal

Kid-friendliness: Many kid meal options, paper kids menu with crayons provided

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramped sidewalks and wide doors for easy access“

“My family and I went to Biscuits Cafe today after church and we had the best experience. It started with the host, his name was Josian and he was so friendly and kind with a smile on his face the whole time we interacted with him. I also wanted to point out Kelly, she may have been a manager, she was also so kind and helpful. She went the extra mile for us today and we appreciate you! If you have kids you know how hard it is go out to eat and have a great time, especially when your kids have to sit and wait for their food. So if you want to go to a place with people who smile the minute you walk in and go the extra mile when you ask for help, this is the place. I truly appreciate your kindness today! (also the food is great! haha)“

“A relaxing trusting bar, but dont trust the name. I was close to Embarrassing myself asking where at the games? that said went in and very set up for lost off bodys and 7 at least big boy's mounted on one wall and like 4 tv above the bar.Great atmosphere respectively.The private sets for food and mid energy for lots of one on one convo... i just heard karaoke ? ?“

“Best bar experience I’ve had in a great while! I literally felt like this was my hometown bar! We were greeted as soon as we walked in by everyone behind the bar, the bar is super clean, the music was a whole vibe, clientele was super friendly, and don’t get me started on the food. Try the roasted red pepper turkey sandwich! Absolutely zero regrets!Thank you Coops!“

“This location was amazing! The food was delicious and our server was very kind! Nadia was super kind and a very sweet lady!“

“Let me start off by saying it a great place with awesome atmosphere. Bartender are great. Been going here for at least a year and a half since moving to the area. Tonight was great. Until this big guy come up and tells my son and I that we need to keep our language at PG 13. Not sure what he meant by this. So I called him over to chat for a moment. He says we said something that offended someone. I have the upmost respect for servers and anyone in this establishment. Great people. We continue our chat and he tells me I’m 86 from this bar. The food is mediocre at best. I will say that the fish and chips on Friday night are great. I would like to talk to the owner of this bar to see what this guy really thinks he’s in charge of. We did nothing wrong. Except enjoy the place until he comes up and states his opinion. We come here at least 3 night a week. Totally out of line“
