Went today to watch the Bills vs Broncos playoff game. They advertise themselves as a sports bar but instead of playing the game commentary they had loud music videos playing on the main tvs. Very distracting and disappointing. Asked our server if they ever turn the music off for games and was told they only turn off music for “big games”. If a playoff games isn’t counted as a big game Im not sure what is. They don’t offer any game day specials and the food was just okay. Would not recommend to anyone looking to enjoy a game, we left an halftime.

Food was delicious and the atmosphere was electric. Of course it was college football playoff season so the crowd was fun. Good location and service was excellent.

I will start by saying food and drinks were excellent. But service was seriously lacking for a place that charges 20 bucks for a burger. We immediately felt like a problem when we walked in the door and we asked to sit outside..the hostess just walked away to prepare a table without saying a word while we stood awkwardly wondering…”are they preparing us a table or ignoring us?” Maybe it was the fact we had kids with us? They have a kids menu which we normally use as a gauge to kid friendliness. The service after we were seated remained less than friendly. We asked for a side of ranch when our food was brought out only to receive it after we were done eating. The burgers were excellent and so was the southwest salad my wife ordered. They have a good selection of beers on tap and some good cocktails as well. Just be prepared to spend Mercedes money on Kia service.

Service was really good. The Food was disappointing. Had the chicken strips and tasted like it was fried in old oil.

It was good food and good service.
I REALLY appreciated the REAL side salad. (There was more then iceberg lettuce)
The reason for not giving 5 stars, it was unfortunate that the tips prompted you to tip on the taxed totals. Things are expensive enough, we should not be encouraged to tip 18%, 20% or more to eke out a bit more from us by adding the taxes into our tip amount…
Pay attention to your bill folks.
There is no need to tip on the taxes of a restaurant bill.

I want to thank our server, Mikenna ! She is so sweet and gave great service to our party. I appreciate how attentive she was—even down to small things like bring out a shared entree on two plates and giving really good drink recs. Thank you Mikenna !!
And thank you to the hosts for accommodating our large party last minute ! We appreciate the service here.

The servers were super nice even though the place was packed on Thursday night, drinks were good however the food item were basic and overpriced mainly the Roast beef sandwich too much bread with processed meat no flavor only one option of fries. I wish we stuck with the appetizers cause they were better options and taste better.
