Absolutely one of my favorite places to enjoy a night out. Laid back fun atmosphere with Live Music and seating. Huge patio area with giant Jenga, Cornhole and Connect Four. The firepit seating is large!! Outdoor bar and tons of picnic table. Inside vibes are immaculate with tons of seating, classic arcade games and billiards!! Food Menu just got a massive upgrade and it’s a must try! My favorite was the burnt ends brisket and mac-n-cheese.

This is a fun place to eat and drink. We had a 80th birthday dinner for my mom. She really enjoyed it. The food was delicious big portions the drinks tasted great and plenty of alcohol in them. Nice outside patio with plenty to do. Loved it!

I dropped in last weekend and had the pulled pork sandwich which was mouth watering. The bartender was very attentive and provided excellent service.

Cool place, I would definitely come back for the games and drinks but the food leaves a lot to desire. Brisket was dry as a bone, smoked wings had zero flavor, like they just smoked wings w/out seasoning them. Mac and cheese was good! String beans were sweet somehow and the eloté corn was full of oil. Neat concept, get the food right and this place would be a winner!

I have to admit, I let the one and two star reviews get in my head but our little dining group was determined to go, and it was better than I had expected. We went 8/16/25 and there was signage for ordering at the bar and it got into a flow such that it was like ordering at the counter at any other restaurant. I saw no issue with it, but without signage I'm sure it would be crazy. This was before a Reds game with pre-game diners (like us) and as far as I could tell everyone obviously going to the game got served and left in time to make the walk. On the note of pre-game dining, there were families with smaller children there who seemed to be enjoying themselves/were welcomed for what it's worth.
Our order arrived pretty efficiently. Our table ordered such that we could eat family-style (server very quick to return with additional plates) and the sides were more generously portioned than we expected/appeared. The mac n cheese was excellent (saw someone else order maybe a pulled pork mac n cheese? Looked great, wish I had ordered it!). Our table did a big order of ribs in which some of us liked and some of us it wasn't our style. These are definitely smoked and have that crispy outer skin or crust-- so if you're into that, there you go! I'd go again to try another meat and get more mac n cheese.

Ribs were probably the worst I have ever had. Had a very distinct wood taste which means they added fresh wood to the cook instead of letting it cook down 1st. Brisket was shredded instead of sliced which made it tough and it was very unfavorable. The cornbread was very good and so were the fries and Mac and Cheese. Portions were good so I will try one more time to make sure it wasn’t just a bad night.

Went in.. was told they have no servers got to order from the bar ourselves. We were ok with that. Ordered 4 beers in the bottle. All were warm . Not cool but outside temp warm. Asked for 2 iced teas. Was told we have to go to a different bar to order that.This was the second location we had the same issue. The other place brother s was the same. And to top it off its Saturday night at 830 pm. We ended up at Brios. Excellent service and delicious food.

Super dry brisket,pulled pork. Taste like leftovers from the day before. Coworker and I came in and both agree that it was microwaved old food. Service is great the ladies behind the bar are very attentive. Stick with the basic like wings.
The staff, particularly the younger girls working behind the bar, seemed more interested in flirting with the guys than actually serving customers. I watched them completely ignore multiple people, including myself, while they prioritized groups of young men. When they did finally acknowledge me, they were short and dismissive.
It’s frustrating to feel invisible as a paying customer. A little professionalism and basic courtesy would go a long way here. Until the service improves, I probably won’t be back

Ordered on door dash tonight pork was just the scraps. Mold on the bottom of the roll order the kettle chips and most of them were burnt. Green beans and brisket were just ok overall I am still hungry after paying over 100 for a family of 4. The only thing that was good was the Mac n cheese. Also I got 3 extra boxes of loaded chips that I did not even order. Overall I will not be ordering this again

Fun bar, would love to return during a game day. Bartender gave some great food suggestions, as well as went out of good way to confirm gluten sensitive information for my celiac partner. Decent bbq, nice sauce selections

This was one of the most disgusting experiences I’ve ever had at a bar. When I visited Shiner’s, there was actual vomit on the bar from a previous patron, and it just sat there. I told two different bartenders about it, and both brushed it off, saying they were too busy to clean it. The puke remained on the counter for at least 20 minutes, creating a foul smell in the middle of a crowded space.
Eventually, I couldn’t take it anymore and ended up cleaning it myself with a dirty bar rag just so it wouldn’t stink up the entire area. Absolutely unacceptable, especially in a place that serves food and drinks.
I also emailed the establishment afterward to give them a chance to respond privately before posting this, but they never bothered to reply. That lack of accountability says it all.
Bottom line: this place is filthy, the service is careless, and the staff clearly doesn’t prioritize cleanliness or customer experience. I would strongly recommend going elsewhere.
