This would have been 5 ☆ because the food, drinks, and atmosphere were amazing. The service, however, was not stellar. Our drinks were forgotten. One meal came out way earlier than the other three. They were out of their signature burgoo. But the manager came over without being summoned, apologized for the service, and gave us some desserts, which were amazing, by the way. We started with the start corn dip, and it was fabulous. I had the pasta salad. It was SO good. My husband had the cheese steak, and it was one of the best I have had. The patty melt was delish, and the chicken wrap was really good. it only came out wrong. He had ordered fried chicken in it, and it came out grilled. He said it was still really good. Cheesecakes were given to us, and the pieces were HUGE and delicious! I highly recommend the food here. I, however, can't guarantee the service. . Eat, drink and be awesome!!

Limited menu allowing for quality cooked food. If no street parking and needing handicap accessibility suggest drop off if individual needing assistance. Excellent service and allow time for guests to enjoy surrounding and food. They offer happy hour specials on weekends of house wine drinks beer and appetizers.

Stopped in for some wings and a beer while in town over the weekend. We grabbed seats at the bar and were well taken care of without being pressured. Nice variety of beer on tap as well as a nice offering of bourbons on the wall. Wings were good and we had a good visit. Parking kind of stinks but that’s not the restaurants fault.

Update: Medium cooked hamburgers equal well done hamburgers and our waitress was awful. She did a great job at the beginning and then she never came back after our food was served. She was even at a drink station right beside our table. I guess she had too many things to check on her phone.Previous Post: The food is good but the service is hit or miss. I've had great service but recently the waiter seemed unaware that he should wait on us.Parking: You will need to find street parking or there is also a parking garage nearby.

Writing this only so that their chef reads it - PLEASE MAKE VEGETARIAN OPTIONS! The fact that you are unwilling to modify meals (like putting hollandaise on the side) is just bad service because there are people with allergies, diet restrictions, etc and it is so limiting when we cannot order the majority of the menu because the kitchen refuses to modify anything. The burrito is SO good but has meat! I was able to order the vegetarian version a month ago but now you guys don’t make one? I understand wanting to be more time efficient, but I’m pretty sure people would prefer a meal they actually will enjoy over a shorter wait time.

Great roadside pickup. Flavorful food. We ordered the pork nacho, fish and Parm fries and a side of bourbon wings. All very good. Highly recommend.

This is a pretty solid ~local~ sports bar. It’s got a good atmosphere and a nice large selection of food. They can get pretty busy and service can suffer a bit, parking is limited too. Good place to watch a game.

First timer,first timer at brunch. Delicious and filling. Very good service considering a full restaurant. Hey we just are not going to get the full attention post COVID. The only knock was I ordered 2 over easy eggs to go with the "Portland State Dish and it came without the eggs. The dish looked so good I dived in and didn't complain. I still took some home. The bill didn't include extra eggs so it's all good. I'll be back to try Dinner Menu. Highly recommend!!!

We had made reservations and were seated quickly. Server arrived promptly to take our drink order. Was a little disappointed they didn’t have flights of beer or samples to taste prior to ordering. We ordered the duck breast wontons and fried guacamole for appetizers. Both were delicious and worth the price. We ordered the 2lb wings half dry rub and flaming honey garlic w/fries and the pork belly bowl. Wings were smoked, crispy and full of flavor. Pork belly bowl was just WoW. All of the food was amazing. Our entrees arrived prior to the appetizers, backwards yet still delicious. The Boston crème chocolate bomb was delicious and great to split for 2-people after the savory meal. The vibe and atmosphere was amazing as well. Server was just Ok, wife had to wait a while for a refill. I believe the server must have been working the bar as well bc that’s where he was most of the time and it wasn’t that busy. I would highly recommend this place while visiting the Lexington area. We will definitely be back again. I give it an overall 4.9 out of 5 stars.

Drinks were amazing. Service was amazing. Bartender was amazing. Runners who delivered the food were so kind and asked if we needed anything multiple times. Manager checked on us and was very kind as well. 10/10 will be back.

You would think that they have been open long enough to be beyond the fire drill type service and could take care of the basics like food to the right table, silverware, salad BEFORE the main.
