When my wife and I first walked in, the woman at the bar was super friendly and welcoming, which set a great tone. After she left, a new bartender, a blonde with long hair, took over. She wasn’t quite as warm, but still did her job. We hadn’t been in for over a year and were thinking about making this a regular spot. The old fashions were amazing—seriously top-notch! The food was just okay, though. When it was time to pay, the card machine was placed on the table without a total, and our card was processed pretty quickly without much interaction. I didn’t really get the sense they were excited to have us there, but maybe that’s just me. If you're looking for a great old fashion, this place is definitely worth it, but for a more welcoming vibe, it might not be the best spot.

Interesting place. We didn't care for the several cocktails we tried. The server was kind and accommodating. It's difficult to hear in there so the server didn't quite get the order correct. My entree was delayed for about 15 minutes from the rest of my party. The burgers were good and we would recommend the deviled eggs.

Went there as a group of ten with a bunch of co workers. Everyone ordered something different from sandwiches, poke bowls and pizza. I ordered a Bon Mi sandwich which was good, nothing mind blowing. The Poke bowl was incredible. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food.
Unfortunately my friend ordered a pizza and the bottom was black. Not like charred in a good way. Straight black. The waitress was kind and removed the pizza from the bill, though I think a some sort of gift card was in order. My friend had one slice and by the time the waitress came back around we had all finished our food and it was time to go. Kinda a bummer for my friend.

Had the street tacos with cod. The tacos were good. I've had better fish tacos. It was served with rice and beans and corn. The rice was flavorless and mushy. The corn and beans were refrigerator cold. Disappointed.

Ok this is a tough one. I wanted to love this place. Sadly it didn’t deliver as I hoped it would.
The good: Our server was awesome. Didn’t catch her name but she was very personable. Attentive. Conversational. The atmosphere was very nice too. It’s upstairs. Comfortable spot with classic decor. We had the meatballs for an appetizer and they were the highlight of the meal. The marinara sauce was perfectly tangy and tasted fresh….not sure if it is or not but it’s really tasty. The fries here are also very strong. A little thicker….just the right crisp on the outside with a soft inside. Hot too….they hadn’t just been sitting around under hot lights.
The meh: the James burger didn’t deliver. Very juicy….but nothing special about it at all. If anything, it was really salty. There was also not a great bun to meat ratio.
The French dip was the lowlight. I love French dips…but this one lacked flavor and the meat was very gristly. It looked like it had horseradish but it had no kick to it at all. Certainly wouldn’t order this again.
Hated to not love it here….

They have some pretty good food here. Their hamburger buns hold up pretty good. Their drinks are very good and price point they are better than most other bars. The service is very good and they make you feel welcomed. It get a bit loud here in game day but that’s to be expected.

Sick of gay bartenders! Ordered tacos with rice and a corn/bean medley. Food was served cold. Drinks where great. However, bartenders couldn't stop talking about there personal lives, when I came to relax! Never going back.
We went in the middle of the day and got cocktails fries and a pizza. The drinks were really tasty and i really liked the mule and the james house drink. The fries we got were cold when they arrived except for the ones on the bottom. The pizza was okay and the happy hour prices were good.

Oh man this place is awesome! Upstairs is a vibey sports bar with a phenomenal patio and covered outdoor eating area. The staff is pristine, truly impressive.
I had the Ashton Jeanty and the owner explained to me he actually came in and helped create the sandwich. It was AMAZING. Merrierweather cider on tap, an exceptional whiskey selection, beautiful decor and staff from top to bottom that give a damn. Highly recommend coming here; not just for game nights but for any occasion.
