Been here a few times always a good experience.
Got the chicken sandwich with garlic fries hit the spot!
Also the girl up front was super happy and friendly made it a nice evening to dine in.
When ever I'm in the area and I'm craving wings it's all ways a must!

You walk up, order and pay up front. Supposedly I ordered the “Tri-tip” sandwich with a side of curly fries for an additional $1. The sandwich was just meat and bread - a hot dog sized roll with what looked like sliced roast beef. The fries were mediocre. Overall very disappointing for the $20+ price point.

It’s always a good time when you come with friends. The food and atmosphere make it 10x better. I can’t wait to have kids and bring them here, but in the mean time …. CHEERS !!!!

That "wings" story is a cover up! The place probably has more beers on tap than all brew pubs in a ten mile radius, and the selection feels well curated (to my taste at least).

The wings were not the best I have had, and the tenders, for lack of a better word, were terrible. They also had no boneless wings, which were shocking because every other “wings” place I have been to has had them. The traditional sauce was also bad, but the curly fries were ok. There are many better wins places, so check everywhere before you decide to come here.

Smash burgers with sweet potato fries is very delicious!! The sports decor on the walls with plenty of TVs and a great selection of beer makes this place a great sports bar!!

Tips and tricks (from a regular customer):
1. Boneless only.
The traditional bone-in wings here are mediocre and overpriced. One boneless wing is comparable to a chicken breast cut in half. Come on Thursday for discounted boneless wings. ($8 for 3 wings)
2. Sensitive stomach? Get the sauce on the side.
This place will drench your wings in sauce. If you have a sensitive stomach or a meeting after lunch, get the sauce in the side.
3. Don't use the hard plastic cups for water. Use the disposable cups.
The hard plastic cups for water taste like the wash rag or sponge they were cleaned with. Avoid ruining your delicious meal by selecting a disposable plastic cup.
4. Look at the beer selection.
There is always a great selection of beers on tap. Don't order before looking at the beer selection or you might end up waiting in line twice.
5. 3 is all you need.
If you have an average of slightly over average appetite, 3 boneless wings is right for you. Like previously mentioned, the boneless tenders are the equivalent of a chicken breast cut in half the hot dog way.
6. Validate your parking.
If you park in the parking garage near the place they will validate your parking. If you're not sure what parking garage, ask someone who works there.
Pretty sure this all still applies.

I was genuinely surprised how good the foods and drinks were at this location, especially for the price point. Great casual hangout spot to watch sports.

Love this place. Been coming here for over a decade. Beer is great, wings are bomb and the service is excellent. Ana, Matt, Nelly and the rest of the gang are all awesome.

The service here is very bad, they don't provide good customer service. The cashier is very unfriendly; first and last time in a place like this.

Went yesterday to have a dinner. Bar was about 12 people and maybe 2 tables. Bartender was working and I could see two cooks. My wife and I stood at front count for over 15 minutes. Nobody acknowledged us. Not one word. I signaled to a third cook and she just looked away. I guess it's just a bar.we are from Gilroy and made a point to come check this place. We walked to Tomatino and our other 5 family members joined us. I assume this business doesn't need any money. So disappointed and annoyed

If you're looking for a pretty basic burger and wings this is the place for you. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't recommend it.
