where else can you find gumbo tacos?! 10/10 with the gumbo sauce literally mouth watering and if you order before 5 you get a free bob taco courtesy of chef bob! Every taco Tuesday come eat good

Baaaaad service. We had to flag down the female behind the bar to get drinks. Wouldn't ask us if we wanted another drink. If a man came up to the bar tho, she was all over him. Had to flag her down for anything. Not attentive. Had to wait 2 HOURS for food. Were out of two of the main cocktails on the menu.

Great spot! Awesome games. Tons of HD TVs and over 100 beers to choose from. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and will make sure you can watch whatever game you're looking for. 2ND HALF SPORTS LOUNGE best.

This is actually my second time here. I can't express how much I love this place. I wish I knew the bartenders name when I initially came because she was really good. I came back a second time for the food. It was good as well. I stayed over four hours passed what I wanted to because of the bartender name JoJo. listen she treats you well when it comes to your drink. JoJo is no joke. If you want a bartentdener that is pretty with pretty drinks that dont do anything to you. Then dont come to Jo Jo. If you want a pretty Bar tender that makes pretty drinks that are pretty strong then run to JoJo!! It is most definitely my pregame stop.

Great place to go for food, they have the best bbq . The only place bbq restaurant with salmon on the menu. They have the best bartender. Jojo is so friendly and makes you feel at home. Her spirit really brightens up the place. This is the only place I go where I feel like my money is will spend. Never anything to complain about. If Jojo is behind the bar you will not be disappointed.

So many things wrong with this place. We show up today for the playoff games and the place was closed because the lady with the key for the gate was not there yet. Mind you it was 1145am. Then she finally shows up and we go inside only to be told that there is no BBQ because of some City paperwork problems. How are you going to be a BBQ but not have BBQ?? The guy saw us outside waiting and didn't even tell us. And if this place is having issues with the city about the food then I'm not sure I'm ever coming back.

Very disappointing. I really wanted to like 2nd half bar because of the great location, but everything from their drinks to their service to the BBQ was overpriced for what we got. We started by ordering a couple beers that didn't come for 20 minutes (seriously, how long does it take to get beers?) and when it arrived, the glasses were dirty. I then ordered their brisket, which showed up 40 minutes later and was not worth the wait. It managed to be both incredibly dry and oily (and over-seasoned). Not recommended at all, it was better when Urbano Latino was here.

I would say this is a good place to watch the game and get drinks. The food can definitely be passed up here. We ordered the sausage plate with greens and I think potato salad. The sausage has the texture of ground meat stuffed into skin but once bitten into would crumble around your mouth. I didnt care for that and to top it off it was extra spicy. I don't think the menu stated that. It wasn't gross but definitely something I wish I didn't do. I was over it. Soon after my friend threw away a good portion of the plate. Sure she would of sent it back if she wasn't hungry. Other thing I noticed is that they don't have a person to sit and wait to take orders. If you have a particular place customers should order then someone should clearly be there. I'm not understanding why the area was empty until customers showed up. Someone was trying to open the bathroom door with a chefs knife. Bartenders were drinking huge cups of some mixed drink. Hate that this black owned place is being ran carelessly. Again go here for drinks and the game, you will for sure be left alone to focus on the players.
