Food was so good. Chili is delicious, and so were the burgers and wings. Bartender who was also our waitress was very nice.

We stopped in here a couple weeks ago on Tuesday night on our way home from a spring break trip. Honestly, we chose the place because it was one of the few places open late on a random Tuesday night. We ended up having a fantastic meal! Our bartender and server was named Danny and he was super nice and attentive for being the only employee in the front of house area. Our food was cooked perfect, drinks were great, and it was a fun atmosphere. We will definitely return when we are back in the area!
This was next door from the Sands Inn where I was staying for a few nights. We needed a quick meal. We sat right down, and you can order via a bar code if you want to. It wasn't crowded, so we ordered at the bar. It took about 20 minutes for the food. The smash burger was good. My wife and daughter had the chicken sandwich, which fell apart a bit. Fries and drinks were good. The atmosphere was nice with indoor and outdoor eating/ hanging out space. If we had more time, it would be a good place to hang out and watch some basketball/ football.
We were in the area for the day, I was with my grandparents and we were showing my son to the local college because he's of college age. Any who we were starving and their were a few options on the street but I wasn't in the mood for hit or miss so we chose this place. My grandma dashed across the street to scope out the menu (make sure it was wheelchair accessible as well) and well the coast was clear. Super cute place nice scenery nice lay out. There was one person in there in the front managing the bar and the restaurant in general and she didn't seem too happy about it. Several times we had to get her attention as she was super busy setting up for the night she said. I ordered the frank no cheese (smash burger onion rings bacon barbecue sauce) my son got the same thing I got but with cheese my grandma got the Royale with cheese (smash burger plain with cheese) my grandpa got the Oh Gee dog which he pronounced ogg Dogg ( I screamed) (100% Premium All Beef Dog Wrapped in Center Cut Bacon, Pico De Gallo, Chipotle Crema ) I also got a boozy milkshake (homemade milkshake with alcohol in it) while the food was absolutely delicious the service was NOT. I still left a 20 percent tip because well that's how I was raised to be. :)
Honestly I was trying to take someone on a date to this place and when I got there I realized it's just a part of a hotel, not its own thing. Not very obvious how to get in, had to look around then walked in to the hotel front doors, where nobody even said hello or gave any pointers as to where to go. At this point I can see the place is over to the right, so same entrance is used for both. Then I'm like ok what next all I see is a pretty empty dining room and nobody is there to greet us or say hello, just felt ignored and then I see the signs that say grab a table and scan QR code to order. So I'm like ok for sure... I grab a seat then I go to order and at the checkout I notice they put extra charges for gratitude, which I don't mind tipping people and all that that's fine, but $9 gratitude for 2 people eating? And mind you I'm already disappointed in the service from the beginning. I like to see how the service is before I tip personally, what if it's horrible?? What if my food doesn't come out for hours?? Also I asked for water and the staff said “oh yea it's over there in the water tank help yourself” that's fine but why couldn't you tell me that when I went to add on wings at the bar??? Long story short, the customer service is terrible, the food was very salty and neither of the burgers we ordered had avocado like they were supposed to and the place is just over priced, especially to have to deal with all that stuff...
Quiet and casual , ample seating. Brussel sprouts and wedge salad were fantastic. Service was friendly and attentive.

Honestly I was surprised by this experience. Usually Open Table steers me to great restaurants but this is an overpriced sports bar. They have a limited menu and were out of several things on the menu, several of the burgers on the menu featured avocado and they were out of that. One of the few desserts was red velvet cake which they were also out of. The burgers we did get were fine but for 15 dollars I think fries should be included. Given the general excellence of the restaurants on Open Table this one was a real disappointment and I was sorry to have invited family to meet us there.
Bar adjacent to a hotel that offers burgers and beverages. On the main drag near a lot of other hotels, it is convenient and reasonably priced to grab a quick bite or hang out for an evening.

There is a reason they have such a low score. Staff try to make up for the extremely low quality and high prices. The whole place smells like spoiled meat(I'm not being dramatic it really is that bad).
