Great spot in Waukee! The service + food was amazing! Highly recommend the buffalo wings and spicy Margarita. You can’t go wrong with a round of mini beers for the crew!

We stopped here for lunch for a quick bite before going to the theater across the street. Food was amazing. Service was great and a decent beer selection. We particularly enjoyed the ripple fries with our sandwiches.

Chicago native, and had to visit the local Bears bar that also serves the Chicago style Italian beef. Let me preface this by saying that the Chicago Italian Beef is in my top 3 favorite foods. So the focus of my feedback will be on this sandwich, and may come off critical.
Much like the Philly cheesesteak, there are many different ways to order the Italian Beef. I love mine with hot giardiniera, mozzarella, and having it dipped. Now allow me to explain my disappointment:
1. I had to send my original order back because they didn't add the hot giardiniera. After receiving my second order I knew immediately it was the wrong peppers. There was too much cauliflower, and simply put, mild giardiniera is gross and easily identifiable. This is one of my favorite condiments and it's easy for me to spot. I did not send it back again, and simply tried to stomach it. We were on our way to a school concert, so I was on the clock.
2. They do not have mozzarella cheese. Sorry folks, I will not substitute and desecrate my favorite sandwich with another type of cheese.
3. The meat was dry and had no seasoning. I could not get any Italian flavors out of the sandwich. I wish there was so it could balance out the gross mild giardiniera.
4. And for the good! It appears that they used the correct type of bread. This is important so the bread can soak the au jus without it falling apart.
My wife got the Buffalo chicken wrap, and my daughter got the 85 burger. They both enjoyed there handhelds, but I was left disappointed. I'm still looking for the best local Italian Beef, and this is not it. I cannot recommend this sandwich to anyone.

Very good overall. Not sure why extra wing sauce is $1.00 and au jus for the Italian Beef is $2.00.

Fairly new Chicago Bears themed sports bar in Waukee. We dined in on a Saturday and enjoyed their all-day specials. The food was delicious and a great price! It's hard to find good specials on the weekend. Service was perfect, met all our needs. Building is set off from the road, located on the end of a strip of businesses, so it has a shared parking lot.
