Old Goat used to have the best fries in town. They were hand cut and seasoned perfectly. But, they've recently switched to what appear to be frozen fries, and they're a massive downgrade. I used to show up just for the fries, but they're pretty substandard now.

Food was good but the game Wasn’t working Detroit Pistons unfortunately I couldn’t practice my free throws and beat the highscore but oh well. KayCi was a professional server and understanding.

Waitor was great, our drink were always full. Burgers were good, fries alittle too much seasoning for me but still good.

First off let me say that our server had the patience of an angel. She and the rest of the wait staff on the floor were working very hard to try and appease everyone. The kitchen on the other hand was atrocious. we were informed they were backed up. It took over an hour for us to get our food. Stuff arrived to the table incorrectly or sloppily made, cold or luke warm, burnt and incomplete. Our server attempted for the manager to come over many times. It's been 20 minutes and she has yet to show her face. Absolutely atrocious. And it's a shame because what was edible tasted good.

The general manager is a sweetheart! If you’re looking for delicious food, friendly staff, and good vibes, this is your spot! It’s literally steps from WMU’s campus and a great place to hit when attending events such as theatre productions or athletic competitions. We’ll be back soon!

Since I was in town for only a couple of days on business, I had called ahead, confirming they had karaoke on Tuesday nights, which they do. Got there a little early to check out the crowd and have a drink. Calista was the bartender that night. I asked her about bucket specials and she recommended the margarita bucket (pitcher) and it was great perfectly paired with the $.75 tacos that night. Calista was attentive, checking on me several times throughout the night. Everything you want in a good bartender.
When karaoke started, I’m at Finn the KJ. He kept the crowd involved and the singers in rotation moving. It was a good mix of young and old in the crowd, and it was quite interactive.
I would highly recommend this local place to anyone. Especially on Tuesdays with their tacos that can’t be beaten for $.75. Pro tip: you can request corn salsa with your tacos.

Picked up a carry out order. Parking is an issue. The pick-up corner was occupied, and I was told by a patron that the empty seat there was taken. I just wanted to get my food and go.
Staff was friendly and efficient. They got me in and out quickly, and I never saw whoever was sitting in that bar seat.

Best burger I had in a while. Reason is that size is big, they don't skim on ingredients. Burger is not supposed to be tiny especially from a tavern. My burger has layers of cheese and meat and sauce. Mouth full of goodness. Also my "back forty" burger is only $13. Pretty good deal in 2024. Sides are extra though
Sides are not so much, just taste like they are from the freezer and straight into the fryer. Burger is the main character anyway. Drinks are weak, you can probably down a couple mix drinks and still blow below limit. With that being said, this is still a better place to eat and watch a game than BWW.

They create a terrible noise with music and loud shouting into the microphone after 10 pm also
Many people who live nearby suffer from this, but they don't care, the main thing is to earn money at least this way.
Because the quality of the food leaves much to be desired and it looks like they need to somehow attract customers.

I will come back if in the area. The grilled cheese and bacon was really good. The pork tachos were good but probably try something else.
Parking: There is a fair amount of parking in the back but shared with other businesses and residences

Quick and friendly service. Goat burgers, fries and onion rings were spot on. Prices reasonable. Music is very loud and definitely targeted to younger audiences.
Fluffy Tacos are a smashing success.
