I heard that they serve some good burgers here, so I decided to check it out for lunch. It was pretty busy at lunch, but I was able to get a seat. I order The American and cheese and bacon fries.I wasn’t wow by the look, I was expecting something not so normal looking.But regardless of the looks it was a good tasting burger, it reminded me of the burgers you get at the old school drive through.Recommend trying it out, it’s a solid burger, their chicken burger look good too.

Really cool place I've never heard of before, pool table (needs some TLC) and arcade/pinball machines. Went for lunch. Spent the afternoon!

One of the worst meals I’ve ever had. Came for the burgers but their grill was down.. understandable it happens. Settled for a chicken burger. It came out so dry.. asked for ketchup which took 15 minutes to come out. Burger was now cold and dry. Our server completed avoided us, terrible service and terrible food. Upgrade fries for loaded fries.. basically $5 for shredded lettuce on top of fries with no sauce. Over $40 for a dry and overrated burger, and terrible service

We haven’t dine in but the place by itself is very welcoming and cool. I’m sure the food is great and planning to come back to try it. You can come and watch a game, they also have a Photo Booth, bar, pool and more. Recommend to

Packed like crazy when I got there, it seems like a popular spot for the pre-game drinks crowd. The guy at the door was super friendly, found me a table right away and moved my group to a spot with more room as soon as one opened up.The drinks menu is good, with plenty of variety for all tastes. The food menu is much more limited. A small selection of appies, some burgers and some fried chicken. Charging $18 to $20+ for some pretty small (but very tasty) burgers isn't too out of line these days. OTOH a $2.50 upcharge from fries to exactly four onion rings was a bit of an insult, made worse by the fact that the rings were not good.The place looks pretty nice, with a selection of arcade games and plenty of TVs. Definitely not the old American of my youth.I'm in no hurry to go back, but I wouldn't say no if a friend suggested it. I'd just stay away from the onion rings.

Karaoke night was really fun. The atmosphere is quite warm. Sadly the food is not the strength of the place. I ordered hot wings and fries. The wings were breaded and tasteless. The fries were cold and taste like reheated. My friend ordered a burger and the bread was cold.

Manager with the glasses and purple shirt on superbowl Sunday was really rude to my friends and I coming in. He talked back to me after I was just confirming with my friends via text if they were coming or not because we were unaware of the ticket price (which was a rip-off by the way). Poor management service!

Good place but the sound level on Thursdays for Karaoke is ridiculous! Instant headache, would be fantastic if they could turn it down a little.

Honesty it might be because I’m getting older but this place doesn’t have the vibe for me anymore. Overall, good place for games and drinks. Great pub food in a city full of bad pub food. Ok beer list. Good for day drinking.Kid-friendliness: During weekend days you can smash a few beers while your kids play arcade games. And they’ll like the food.

The atmosphere is always a good time for watching the game but the food and the service has gone downhill significantly. Went with a few teammates tonight and after a 15 minute wait for drinks we went up to check in and they'd been just sitting at the bar. The wait for food was a really long time as well which is totally fine - I know places are understaffed etc but we ordered $18 nachos and when they came out they were tiny and very cold, had clearly been sitting out for a long time despite us politely checking in a few times. I'd go back for a pint but certainly won't be eating there again!
