The seating is nice and clean. Tables are clean and they're spaced apart well enough that you don't feel like you're sitting on top of somebody else and they have table games that you can play! WE ARE DEFINITELY COMING BACK!“

“Oh my gosh. I’ve been a customer at offsides for years and I just have to leave a much delayed review. Service is always amazing and consistent.
I’ve ate off there menu many many times and was always impressed with the small exquisite touches to their different sauces and different cooking methods and today I ate their ribs for the first time which are featured on Saturdays as the Saturday special slow cooked ribs that are accompanied with either a soup or salad a choice of fries which are potato wedges or tater tots and the ribs are offered with their amazing barbecue sauce or their Jack Daniels sauce today I had their barbecue sauce and let me tell you hints of honey and molasses with touches of brown sugar. That’ll make you think that you’re in a place that deserves an award-winning slow cooked rib off of some type of competition absolutely amazing completely 100% recommend the one and only Offsides sports bar and grill if you’re looking for a place to feel at home and a place to taste some of the of the most wonderfully influenced options on a menu. Come to offsides sports bar and grill. 5 plus stars“

“great subs..no skimping on their subs...bread crumby but good flavor...great prices.. we'll be back!!“

“ordered 2 chicago style hot dogs, Italian beef combo w/ mozzarella cheese and Giardiniera, jalapeño poppers and onion rings. $33.00 ☹️ the combo had barely any beef or Giardiniera on it. the onion rings were a big clump of a soggy greasy mess. the poppers were soggy too. They were not edible, threw them away. I don't know what happened, they used to be really good.“

“Went to Beef Shack today for their dollar hotdogs. Usually the hotdogs are very good and they are a great deal. The hotdogs could be hotter. The workers need to pay closer attention to the orders. I ordered 2 hotdogs to go without relish or pickles. I received 2 hotdogs with extra relish and pickles. I also got an order of fries which l did not order.
Please pay more attention to the customers request. Still enjoy eating there. Tuesday's are a great hotdog deal.“

“Had a good experience here. The menu is solid -- burgers, chicken, sandwiches, gyros, fries, onion rings,cetc. I enjoyed a pork tenderloin sandwich and fries. Sammy spent some time telling his story and about his good workers. He's proud of his team and their product. Recommended.“

“The food , portion sizes , and prices are great but the chairs are unpadded and feel like sitting on cold concrete. On a cold day it's just as cold in the dine in area. as it is outside. Please turn up the heat out of consideration for the senior customers.“

“I love the burgers here! It is pricey but the portions are great however the gourmet salad is only lettuce with sliced onion?
The carrots & red cabbage were not in it barely at all. One tiny piece of red cabbage!! Need much better salad as you pay for it.
No cucumbers in it or croutons come with it I am told. Okay,
But You are out of tomatoes?
My fault knowing that but I would have a way better salad with some variety in it!
But otherwise I do love the food and very nice, friendly staff.“

“Finally. After all this time, I finally found them. THE PERFECT FRIES. Your search can be over too of you come to beef shack.

They were pretty busy when I went but very friendly, clean, and dang they are slinging some great food.“

“I didn’t have any problems here besides getting into the actual parking lot due to construction in the area. I came on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, for lunch. We got pizza slices and fries and drinks. It was a great little experience. We will definitely be coming back if we are in the area. (Written 6-14-26)“
