Something that a past friend told me that sticks with me when I am considering whether to react or respond is the following advice: pick your battles. There are too many micro-irritations and/or triggers that it simply is unwise to analyze everything and react to everything. Choose what brings you peace, and let that be your victory and compass. When at Smoke Eaters, I was not expecting such a large crowd to be there but later on appreciated the warmth and cheer from those around me. I liked how Smoke Eaters provides the perfect atmosphere to enjoy sports games as a community as well as quick and accurate service. As for food, we just got cheeseburgers (one person with fries, another with a salad). It was a decent burger with all the basics. I can't complain nor do I rave about the food. The fries were alright (they could've been crispier). They have a lot of indoor as well as outdoor seating. I especially liked the dim glow during the evening when sitting outside.

Well if you wanted to come watch sports this was the place to go, there's like 10 extra large TVs in a small space. As far as the food goes the honey Sriracha wings were drowning in sauce not spicy, picture I have here was before I had to go back to get the two wings that they forgot to add to my five-wing order He added extra sauce for some reason, The parmesan wings were bland. The jalapeno burger was overcooked but the bacon was good. And I don't even know how to explain the cheesy fries, fries were okay not salty but the cheese was unexplainable it was like a hard not crispy chewy hunk that you couldn't even cut or chew.

I love this place, it's so good the food is amazing it's definitely quality food, I got to watch champions league games and they're always on! Even for football too! Just hope they get more leagues for soccer since lots of other places around lack.

The wings were soggy and it had no seasoning they were overpriced and I felt like I had to throw up after. It was 76.24 for 20 wings and chicken tenders it took so long it almost made my mom late for work. I only ate them because they costed so much but I quit after 3. If u ever go here reroute to Wing stop.

The service is always good here! The people at the front are friendly which is great, however the place is pricey for what it is. I would definitely give it 5 stars if it wasn’t so expensive for the tenders I feel like that’s the best thing here compared to other things on the menu. I would recommend the Thai zing sauce! That’s by far the best sauce!

Came here for happy hour after work and noticed it's a very causal dine-in restaurant as you order and then find your seat. It's your standard American dine-in bar as they have beers on tap and have your typical American finger foods. Finger foods (5/5): We onion rings, garlic fries, tater tots, and salad. They were all amazing and comforting. Royal Burger (5/5): This burger consisted of white cheddar, bacon, garlic aioli, and carmelized onions. Also came with my choice of fries. It was great and everything you wanted for a burger. Mai Tai IPA (5/5): I definitely recommend this if you like cocktails and IPA. It was strong for an IPA, which I liked. Come here for happy hour!

I love this place! I always get the tenders with atomic or nuclear sauce. I don't know why it doesn't have more rave reviews. It's always busy, so people obviously love it. I like their tender salad too. Service is always friendly. Parking lot can be a MESS, oh my gosh. Prepare for road rage, but your meal will make you feel better.

This was our second visit. The Nashville cayenne chicken sandwich with garlic fries is a winner. The service is helpful and cheerful. A good spot to watch sports and a well stocked bar.Parking: If you get lucky and ha e patience you can get a spot close to the restaurant

Had a quick dinner after visiting Total wine at the same shopping Plaza. This place your order first so you better know what you want to get or you will create a line! (kinda stressful unless you are a regular I guess) Lots of beer selection, you can see that on the screen or with the cheat sheet next to the register.Food is prepared super fast and got to our table in 10 minutes!BTW if you are into whiskey, they have some good ones, not super unicorn but hard to fine. Price is not on the menu, but ask the bartender!
