Atmosphere appears nice. However, Management was extremely rude for no reason to myself and my family. We will never go back.

The fish tacos were just fine, nothing special. Service was fast and friendly. I can see why sports enthusiasts would gather here - it's a nice atmosphere. Ultimately, though, the average food yields an overall 3/5.

Their wings are one of the top three best buffalo wings I’ve ever had. Who am I, no one. Buttttt, I’ve eaten wings all over this country, thanks to the US Army. Worth ordering. Prove me wrong

Ivan did wonderful getting us seated quickly and verifying allergies, assuring us we were safe! Food was incredible! Highly recommend the Mac n cheese with bacon and jalapeño. The fite pit outside was a nice touch of warmth.

Delicious food, big portions. Fast service. Great outdoor seating.

❗️The only remark I want to make-we were watching the cooks make our food, and they were not wearing gloves, that’s very bad and needs attention immediately❗️

Very nice location, I've been there before, but our most recent visit was annoying. I brought a group to have dinner there and one of the guests ordered a glass of house Chardonnay. They came back and said they were out of the house Chardonnay and offered a different wine that was $4 more. First of all, they should have given us that glass for the same price and we would have been fine to have ordered additional glasses at full price. They did not. Then when they served the wine, it wasn't in a glass, it was in a little plastic cup. They said no glass was allowed on the patio, which doesn't make sense given several people were drinking bottled beer on the patio.
I was really embarrassed given I was the local who recommended the restaurant and they gave this kind of service.
We finished our drinks and had dinner elsewhere. I will never take out of town guests there again.

Beware of this place – double check your bill!
We had lunch here on 7/12/2025 and were charged for items we didn’t order. When we pointed it out, the waiter apologized but still charged the extra amount to our credit card. After we told him again, he finally voided the original bill and recharged the correct total. I still left a tip.

But a few days later, I saw we were charged $120 for the $50 meal, turned out that they had added the full total amount again as the tip! Completely unacceptable. Total scam. Dishonest and shady. AVOID this place at all costs!

Absolutely disgusting food, slow and horrible service. Asked for ranch and they gave me a look. Waitress seated is and disappeared when food arrived with no silverwear to eat it. Mac and cheese were cold, chicken strips dry and over fried. Ribs were clearly old and microwaved. Steak was overcooked and drenched in oil. Salad was pathetic with old tomatoes and old croutons on it with extremely sour balsamic.The only thing that tasted good was fries. It’s no wonder they weren’t busy on a Saturday. Stay away!

Seems like a good bar for drinks, but when going to the restroom I saw a worker fail to wash their hands then immediately go into the kitchen, not sure I’d trust the food here.

Gunbarrel was disappointing for us today. We stopped in for lunch and received a cool/cold greeting from the hostess. Then we got a table and an enthusiastic waiter until we ordered an inexpensive meal that we split. The Mahi Mahi tacos were delicious. However, the waiter treated us with disregard and abandoned the typical norms of customer service. It's a shame to have good food and poor service. I don't believe that the cost of the bill should govern attitude and service.

Came here for lunch on a weekday and got sat right away. The restaurant was about 50% full and my wife and I sat inside.

We were never approached nor acknowledged by any waiter, though multiple crew members kept walking by our table. The host gave us water when we sat, but after sitting for about 7 min without being acknowledged we ended up leaving. The waiter in our seating area attended to everyone else but not our table.

Poor service, should’ve read the previous reviews. We got pizza instead

$8 for fries with no price on the menu. $11 for a draft beer in a plastic cup with no beer menu or prices anywhere. Food was okay. Gratuity was automatically added to our bill . . . Very odd. Would not recommend. Much better options.

Mediocre food offerings - random low quality bar fare
Service disorganized and slow. Sitting inside had to listen to waiters and kitchen shouting back forth orders and chat, we were just 5 feet away.

Waiter seemed to prefer texting on his phone. Forgot drinks. Watched our food cooling off for several minutes after cook compiled it. Food was good. Food is over priced for what it is.
