Food is great and karaoke is phenomenal.
Edit: I asked one of the inattentive bartenders for the manager and he came by and made it right.
I've been here for a solid 10 minutes sitting at the bar and no one has acknowledged my existence.

Stopped in the day before St Pattys and they only had a limited menus. I ordered brisket with a side of mac and cheese and elote corn. I decided to take it to go because the “bruh atmosphere” was out of control for a Sunday evening. While waiting the highly intoxicated patron sitting next to me at the bar was only worried about where to find some cocaine and I’m pretty sure everyone on the restaurant was aware of his concern. When I got back to the hotel just a quick walk from the restaurant I found the entire meal to be cold. The brisket was flavorless - not sauce options were asked about or included. The Mac and cheese and corn could possibly be edible if not straight out of the walk-in fridge. Save your money and go somewhere else

My wife and I loved this place when it first opened. Great BBQ, great service. We loved the fresh cut fries and fantastic cornbread. Then life got busy, we weren’t eating out as often. But this weekend we decided to go back. Its was like a different place entirely. No more table service inside. I ordered a half rack of ribs, fries and cornbread (my usual). I love ribs and I know what a half rack looks like in terms of portion size. What I got served though was a quarter rack of ribs and it really pissed me off. When I complained, they defended the measly portion size. I took a photo. Fellow rib lovers can judge for themselves whether this was a half rack or not. The chef came to our table with the other half rack which was nice of them but it didn’t change the fact that I was originally ripped off. But then the real surprise came when I tasted the ribs. Dried out, overcooked- just terrible. They lost a longtime customer. I’m never going back.

Not a fan of the food, we received our food quickly, our appetizer with our meal. The food was cold and honestly not very tasty. Spent over $50 and was very disappointed. I wouldn’t recommend it at all.

Pulled pork, Mac n cheese, and green beans were so good. The drinks were great too Love that we had a couch seat with table to eat. Came to watch our friends band see they played 7:30-10:30 The sound and the mix was horrible, way too load and you couldn’t even hear half of the band in the mix for the early crowd and the band didn’t sound good because of the way the sound girl was running sound and when my friend asked if she could turn it down some she was not very nice. She eventually turned it down put got overly load again. She is not a good sound person and if you want people to come see bands might want to get the sound corrected. Just horrible.
Other than that we enjoyed ourselves even though we had to scream at each other. it’s a fun place and good food. Next time I’ll bring earplugs

We were excited to try it but sadly disappointed by the quality of food and the portion sizes. We spent $25 each and both left hungry after cleaning our plates! We felt the food did not taste fresh.

I’m not someone to post bad reviews but I have to state my opinion of this place. Ive been trying to go here for almost a year and I finally went on Wednesday. The reason that I wanted to go was for the line dancing I wanted to have fun even if im still learning. My boyfriend invited his coworker and his girlfriend to go with us and have a good time. We got there and order food and it was not good, the burgers came with some chips and they were awful. Wendys biggie meal is better than what we had. After the meal we tried to line dance and have fun, it was fun at first my bf coworker and gf never done it before and they were laughing and trying to have a good time. Unfortunately his girlfriend had a drink and he spilled it. I don’t know if it was the staff but it got cleaned. We continue to try to dance and have a good time but after a while a girl came up to my BF and said that everyone was mad at his coworker and it was better for us to leave and not start a fight. We couldn’t believe what we got told. She said that is courtesy not to have drink on the dance floor and we can admit it and feel sorry for that. And we are sorry. It was their first time line dancing and going to that place and we didn’t know the rules. I think it should be the staff going up to them and tell them that they shouldn’t have drinks on the dance floor and if people got uncomfortable because of them the STAFF say something NOT the people around. We felt unwelcome and out of place. I felt bad for inviting them cause I was the one that wanted to go there. His gf that went to the bathroom got asked about him and they were talking shit to her. I never thought we were going to have that experience. The people that go there are entitled and judge you if you just want to go and have a good time. They don’t want you to dance if you don’t know the steps. Like I said I understand what we did wrong but we shouldn’t have been treated that way, mistakes can be made no one is perfect but the atmosphere was uninvited. We decided to leave,Im pregnant and I didn’t want to keep feeling unwelcome on that place. My Bf closed his tab and the bartender said a side comment of him having 1 beer, he only had one cause of what happened. No one should feel like we did just for trying to have a good time. My experience was horrible and I would NOT recommend this place to anyone. Food bad, atmosphere horrible and staff rude.

Poor management, poor service. We had a gift card and were told we were unable to use it because, despite it showing a balance, it would not properly run in their card readers. They didn't tell us until after they already brought the food out and began eating. A good manager would have comped the meal but they were rude and told us to take it up with the gift card company. Horrible service.

Insanely overpriced food and severe lack of seasoning. Maybe the most soulless restaurant I can think of.

Went yesterday with my bf, friend, and my two kids. Took 15 mins for a host to greet us, then we was told outside was closed and to sit at the bar and then go outside. We sat at the bar and the bartender told us we couldn’t sit there with the kids. And when I was telling him the host said so he said as long as we left as soon as we got our food it was fine. And then they decided to clean a table and sit us. When we sat there was WARM water on the table. The music was so loud the server couldn’t hear us. We couldn’t talk to each other. We finally got out drinks and our app. Server never once brought refills. When my friend finally asked for a refill she brought out Coke that needed changed. The food was awful. My half chicken was over cooked and burnt. None of the sauces tasted good. The fries was dead. My daughter’s coleslaw was hot, like left out hot. The only thing “good” was my other daughter peanut butter sandwich. Me and my friend are both servers/bartenders at a sports bar and a gourmet dining. And my bf is a cook so we understand if there’s issues but the whole experience was just awful. Really don’t recommend

Went to watch a few football games with my GF and was told they were only seating folks with reservations but the bar was open seating (no problem at all, especially since we'd be closer to the TVs!)
We sat at the end of the bar as 3 bartenders (not too terribly busy) didn't acknowledge us or even make eye contact for about 10 min. I decided to go to the restroom and when I got back, my GF told me no one had even said a word to her yet. After waiting another 5 min, 4 drunk guys came up to the bar to our left (one seat over from us) and were immediately asked what they wanted to drink. At that point we had had enough, we grabbed our things and left. Went to Brothers instead. We won't be back.

Granted, we went before Blink, but they were under staffed which caused a bunch of problems. Party of five, food took 50 minutes to get to us after we ordered. Drinks didn't come until after the food came out. They only brought 4 of the 5 orders out, my daughter had to watch us eat before hers came out for 15 minutes. The waitress didn't bring any BBQ to us until mid meal. The server was nice she just had way too many tables. For $130 ( we still gave the poor girl an 18% tip ) I expected better. We will not be back.
