I ordered a vodka redbull and they informed me they were out of redbull. They then proceeded to go out and buy more just to take care of me. The customer service is by far the best. This is the every day of the week bar. Love it here.

We visited this restaurant tonight for the first time as a family with our three-year-old. We’re new to the area and chose it because it was described as kid-friendly. The staff was friendly at first and the restaurant wasn’t very busy.

I asked before ordering whether the chicken tenders were fresh or frozen. I was told they didn’t know, but since the chicken sandwich is hand-dipped, they assumed the tenders were too. I also ordered parmesan garlic sauce on the side. My husband ordered the pulled pork mac and cheese bowl, and our son ordered a kids mac and cheese.

When the food arrived, the tenders were clearly frozen, and instead of parmesan garlic sauce I was given grated parmesan cheese. My son’s kids mac didn’t include the side item listed, and my husband’s dish was covered in a very strong BBQ sauce he didn’t enjoy. I took one bite of the chicken and did not eat the rest. My husband and son ate only small portions of theirs.

When the server came by and saw most of the food untouched, we told her politely that the food wasn’t good. The manager came over, apologized, and said we should have been told the tenders were frozen and that I should have received the correct sauce. He adjusted the bill by discounting part of our meal, which we appreciated.

However, when I asked the server why I was still being charged for a meal I didn’t eat, she became defensive and said she was “stuck in the middle.” She also insisted I had been rude, which was upsetting because I had simply asked about the food and expected accurate information. Instead of helping resolve things, her attitude made the situation much more uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, shortly after leaving, our toddler became sick in the parking lot and my husband also felt ill. We can’t say for certain what caused it, but it happened immediately after the meal, which was very concerning.

Between the food quality, the misinformation about the tenders, the server’s poor attitude, and the overall experience, we won’t be returning. I hope management takes this kind of feedback seriously — especially for families choosing a place advertised as kid-friendly.

This is a sports type bar/restaurant. They hade several different types of seating. I think it's a pretty popular spot with plenty of parking around. They have quite a few beer selections. Several large screen TVs on the walls. I don't think the food is anything other than normal, at least for what we had. The fries were warm and not hot. We had to get another menu from another table as well as ketchup, salt and pepper, so the service was just ok.

Stopped in while working in Kentucky. They have a massive selection of beer to choose from. We tried the fish tacos and the wings. Both were delicious.

Horrible service. Got wrong food twice with server purposely avoiding our table. Place is obviously dead for a reason. Will never return.

The batter & fish in the fish & chips platter had no flavor. The batter was not cooked all the way through on some spots. Burgers have been great on previous visits.

Popped in for a quick bite with my daughter (her first time). Started off with asking for a recommendation from the server and he recommended the Jalapeno Popper Burger. It was cooked perfectly and the flavor mix was Fantastic. Both of us ordered the same and both of us were in agreement this was a good pick. My daughter ordered the Sweet Potato Fries and ordered the Mac and Cheese as our sides and these hot the mark as well. We went during the middle of the day and almost no one was in the restaurant so it was an easy in and out.
Definitely a safe bet if you are craving a good burger.

Huge shout out to Mr. Brews team! They handled our out-of-town soccer team (45 of us!) like pros. Super friendly and attentive staff, food came out fast and was delicious, and the beer selection was awesome. Loved having the whole patio to ourselves. Definitely recommend!

Amazing food, nice friendly atmosphere (even as a family with kids) with table and arcade games, and a huge selection of beer on tap. Don’t drink anymore so can’t comment on the beer, but the Beer Battered Chicken sandwich was possibly the best chicken sandwich I have ever had in my life. The Mac and cheese was also right up there with the best, tasted just like the home-made stuff we have on thanksgiving, amazing! Definitely would recommend to anyone traveling out this way, worth the stop!

We ordered fish tacos that smelled like dirty hind end, and then they tried to charge us for double the amounts of drinks we purchased. We advised we only had one beer because we didn’t like what we got, and the server treated us as if we were liars. I wanted to say you can pull the tapes. We will never visit again. You shouldn’t be in the service industry if this is how you treat customers.

We stayed in the Staybridge Hotel next door. This is literally walking distance across the street. We got our stuff to go and the bartender was so super sweet to us! Their drinks and food were really good!
