My friends and I dropped in for a cocktail on a weekend getaway and they didn't disappoint.Even my friends Shirley Temple was cute.

Service was just really subpar, the restaurant was incredibly cold, and the music was uncomfortably loud. I could overlook this given it’s a college town. However, I could not overlook the following. The manager was not accommodating of a clearly stated coupon. Really unfortunate experience overall and would not want to come back.

Great cocktails, but for the love of God, I've never smelt a worse bathroom

Love this establishment! The workers here truly care about their patrons and are great people. The yuca fries and baby burger are particular favorites.

The kitchen is tiny but the bar quality food is pretty good. Great bartenders who make classic cocktails. It can get pretty busy on the weekends.

The holiday Miracle bar is a fun MUST DO while in town. We did not eat food but had a great time trying the festive drinks. Bar tender was great. I was super happy to find a festive bar.

Really lovely vibe! Quite crowded but fun, outdoor seating is available if it gets too loud and full for your comfort.Would definitely recommend trying the Hot chicken sandwich, which is essentially chicken with the Korean gochughang sauce (it's the Korean chicken sandwich on the menu) but absolutely stunner and smokey! Burst of flavors, takes a couple of bites to fall in love with it.Lots of fun cocktails and beer options are available. Service is good, really kind people!Would go again 100%

When the hostess hands you your plate and says "Sorry!", and walks off, let that be a warning. Unfortunately, they already ran my card. So, I got the KFC (Korean fries chicken) sandwich, rosemary parm fries (upgraded). The fries were COLD. How long had the plate been waiting for the KFC? How long had the whole thing been waiting before I was served?The KFC did NOT fill the bun, HUGE parts of the bun had no chicken which was THIN, lacked salt and lacked flavor (I cook with Gojujang at home so I expected heat and vinegar to hit my palate), and as much breading there as chicken. WHAT THE F****!!!! I was so hungry I couldn't wait patiently for some punk behind the bar to finally stop by to talk about what was delivered to me - they were scrambling, only 2 of them, with Christmas cocktails, far too busy for me since my plate was delivered. IN FACT - they never asked me how my food was. I can't ever recall a time I've been so angry at a restaurant.I ate about half, and pushed it away, including my beer. Was so FN PISSED. The punk behind the bar asked if I was done and I told him to get it out of my face. Never would recommend. Too busy for their own good, that the quality isn't maintained.

Honestly the only thing holding this business down is the amount of customers it gets. This place is so busy and is always full of rowdy people and some how they manage to make the food delicious every single time!! Yeah there are a whole lot of people but this place makes u feel special in any table you sit at and if you really don't feel happy where you are they have always treated me with kindness and found a more nicer place for me to sit at! The environment is nice especially on weekdays but it gets more hectic on weekdays and insanely satisfying watching these workers work around people that have 0 spacial awareness!! Good job bartenders and servers for your patience as well I've seen you deal with things that is way out of your pay grade way too much!! The business hired some swell people and lastly these cooks are amazing they work as fast as possible but somehow even on the busiest of nights my meal is done 15-30 mins tops after order take out! For a super busy place that's very well known and popular down town I respect the timing A LOT!Here's some food I recommend -Korean bbq sandwich-fish & chips-big baby smash burger-steak sandwich (In that order)And a couple drinks I've had -I forgot the name but it's a specialty Christmas drinkand has eggnog Super amazing

Cry Babies is my cherished go-to for late-night bites and drinks with friends, and it never disappoints. I always take visitors there, drawn in by the inviting ambiance. The Pretty Ricky drink and the Korean chicken sandwich are culinary masterpieces, and the ranch is a delightful touch. What elevates the experience even more is the awesome staff, adding a warm and welcoming touch to an already fantastic place.

Maybe the best chicken sandwich in town. Burger is also top 3. Great cocktail bar with fantastic food. Table service can be a bit slow sometimes but recently the service has been top notch. This is a sister bar to Afternoon and Baby Js. All 3 spots are amazing places.
