*disclaimer* i used to regularly come here on Thursday and Saturday nights. I last visited here about 6 months ago in March. I'd like to start by saying i don't believe this establishment is open anymore, seems like it hasn't been since the late Spring. I also may or may or may not know a (former) employee who sent me an image of all their interior signage taken down and their lady liberty statue gone as well. They're still listed as open on this site and google, they might wanna update that. i'd be pretty disappointed walking up to some locked doors on a weekend. In my opinion the owner, Richard Garcia, is bad at his job. I've seen other reviews calling him racist and sexist and i believe both of those things are true. I've witnessed "Rich" buy shots for girls who he had been eyeing from the dj booth (where he would play awful music that nobody would be dancing to except the one person who was wasted) while they're boyfriends were next to them. I've watched him add attractive young customers on facebook which i find very weird. For someone who owns a bar this guy doesn't know how to make a drink! I asked for a vodka sprite and he gave me a vodka cranberrywith no ice. The bar was completely empty, kind of hard to f*** up. The prices vary like crazy and it seems to depend on how much the staff likes you. They definitely play favorites. I have also seen him double check ID's (post bouncer) but only black people. Dress code was also only enforced when certain people of color were not dressed "appropriate" i had seen plenty of white folks break the dress code and nothing was said. Richard Garcia has a bad attitude for someone who was trying to harvest a fun atmosphere! Maybe hire some younger DJ's as well. When Rich wasn't spinning his hot garbage top 20 repetitive b******** the other middle aged DJ would play all the same old R&B/Hip Hop/90s playlist. Boring! This would always be after the grueling two hours of karaoke that would happen every thursday. Sometimes absolutely nobody would sign up so it didn't last the full 2 hours, but most of the time it was the same 3 people every week absolutely hammered singing the same songs. Plenty of creepy looking dudes used to frequent this place, always sitting at the same corner of the bar staring at the young women. I can only assume these guys were friends with Rich considering they gave off the same creeper vibe. I've been to America's Bar & Grill about 20 times and i'd say out of that 20 i saw the place "packed" with young people maybe 3 times. Otherwise it's a middle aged l**** magnet. They have bags to play but there were always groups of old guys hogging the game (probably Rich's friends as well if you catch my drift) If this place happens to still be in business somehow- go somewhere else. Especially if you are in your 20s. I'm sure there's places nearby with much better management, staff, atmosphere, and prices. If you're a lonely divorced dude in your 40s this is the place for you!

This site is my favorite restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I prefere it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this place. everytime I feel like having a proper supper, this restaurant comes immediately to my head. Great and all sorts of food and a large menu.great staff members, and good ambience. Not less important, the bill is decent. I recommend this spot with pleasure.

Door guy was rude, service was slow. Went with a group of female friends. Guy claiming to be owner wanted to buy them drinks but not me. Asked him what about me and he said buy your own. My friends got the drinks and he would not leave them alone after. He asked one of my friends for there number. She declined him, he became very upset. Just out trying to have a good time, dude is a perv. Don't go with any female friends!!!

Worst experience ever, owner himself is very rude. Bad customer service. My girlfriend felt very uncomfortable after asking him to leave her alone. He didn’t like that so he decided to kick me out. Owners name is rich. Look out for him. Worst bar ever. Food tasted ok tho.

just ordered a pep & sausage pizza from here and it’s the worst pizza i have ever received, the crust was very hard, had smelly aged cheese & it was awfully disturbing burnt, the worst place to buy your pizza from, save your money & go elsewhere

Love the bar but the bouncer sucks. Wanted us to wait outside in 3 degree weather. Beside the customer service of the bouncer I would have given 5 stars if you can change my mind please do because he was the most disrespectful person I've ever met or dealt with. I've worked in the industry, I understand there are rules and regulations but when someone is waiting for a ride you dont put them out in the cold. When I worked in the industry we let people wait inside until there ride came. If I could give zero stars I would and that's cause of first impressions. What goes around comes around!

I have no idea how I haven't reviewed my favorite bar yet!! I'm a regular here, that comes by anywhere from once to three times a week. My husband plays in their Wednesday bags leagues and I've taken a liking to the trivia nights on Tuesdays. Of course Thursday's are our favorites though. Every day there are great drink specials, but when you add karaoke and a fun DJ to a Thursday night, you're bound to get "Americaed." They just added even more specials from 8-10 pm on Thursdays too- $1.50 White Claws and Trulys!! There's always so much to do here- bags, darts, pool, slots. I've made lifelong friends here too. Finally, I can't leave out the wonderful staff for always being so friendly and fun! They always know how to make me smile!

The owner of this place was incredibly rude and can’t even play new songs. I requested 1 song, JUST ONE and it took him 2 hours to tell me that he didn’t have the song at all. In those 2 hours, I asked him when he was going to play it and he kept saying “it’s up next.” If I could give this no stars, I would.This place is trash and that’s all I’m saying

This is a place to have fun, great prices, great people.

Staff and Service is Great. Atmosphere is good, Regular DJ/MC (Asian guy) makes the place fun and inviting. Bald guy with glasses.. Manager/owner or something is not as important as he thinks he is. Kinda rude and stuck up in a way.

King Banks

Very elegant and convenient place. They offer big portions and for reasonable prices. I loved the food a lot and the waiters were very welcoming and explanatory. Highly recommended.

There's a huge discrepancy between what the waitress charge's for drinks than what you pay at the bar, then afterwards they try to explain why there's such a difference. For example, I paid $9.00 for a drink with the waitress at a table. Then later went to the bar to purchase the EXACT SAME drink and was charged $11.25. Wow!!! Really!! Here's the kicker!! I had my friend which is White to purchase the EXACT SAME drink and you would never guess what he paid for it?! You guessed it $9.00!! When I requested to speak with the manager, guess what? DENIED!! Again, what a surprise. Opps!! Did I fail to mention I'm Afro American. I'll let you do the math!! The only reason I gave it one star is simply because I can't give it a NEGATIVE 20!! Drink up!!
