Went to watch a football game towards the end of the night at this bar. Decent menu and selection of drinks and beers. Customer service is a bit cold when it comes to new customers. Need to work on making people feel more welcomed. Kind of lukewarm if you asked me.

Chapter 1: Stuck In the Rain. I stumbled in here to get out of the rain. Catch a drink. Quick bite.

I was recommended the wings. Lots of fresh herbs and rub on a plentiful and plump wing. 3 drum, 3 thigh. Phenomenal. For any wing enthusiasts.

Chapter 2: French Bliss, no, French Dip!
The French Dip sandwich. Wowzers!! A great roll, quality ribbon eye meat with cheese and butter garlic. Quality fries.
This is a never miss. You should be eating here right now. I may be across the way. Release your inner raptor. Meat eaters delight.

Chapter 3: Grande Hamburguesa w/queso, eh?

Spectacular burger, double patty, lots of cheese. Fresh herbs on fries. ?

Never Miss. Always a homerun.

Went here to watch some NFL games. It's the old Hickory Tavern. It still looks pretty much the same but there aren't quite as many TVs. That being said there are plenty to watch every game and they also still have the nice outdoor eating area with TVs. We sat at the bar and the staff was great. We really enjoyed our food. I got the Alabama fried chicken sandwich, never had one before, and it was great. My wife got the caprese panini. She liked it as well. The fries were really good as well. If you're looking for a place to catch a game I would recommend this place.

This is a great new addition next to Hampton Inn. It's open during the day straight through, unlike most of the other establishments in the area.

The food was excellent quality and good portions. Service was efficient, but not rushed. Drinks were less than I expected at a place next to a hotel.

It's really what places like this used to be. Friendly staff, good food, clean, and reasonably priced. It's a good place to hang before a show and has excellent displays inside.

The beer menu is extensive and features a lot of excellent options on tap. Not sure if it is the home to any local football or soccer team's fan club for games, but it has ample parking in the deck nearby or around it, and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

This is a great upgrade to what was there and a really pleasant space for folks traveling to have a drink and relax at a reasonable price or for locals who want to watch a game with their friends in a great atmosphere.

Great place to chill and eat, and have a few drinks, owner is awesome and very reasonable with prices, looked out for me on my first visit, and I appreciate the loyalty which is why I go back often to repay the favor. Highly recommend the grilled cheese and fried Brussel sprouts..

Our first visit was great! The food was very good. Beer selection was decent at a fair price. Our server (Gloria) was awesome! It has been a long time since we had such outstanding service at a restaurant. We will definitely return.

What a gem! We were shocked it wasn't packed on a Saturday night when we visited. Great service, fantastic food and nicely kept. We will absolutely return. Alabama fried chicken sandwich was incredible. Same for the brussel sprouts and white pizza. Good draft prices. Will be back!

We loved all the TVs to watch multiple sports events! The food was basic bar food IMO. Nothing special. As to service, our waiter walked off the job in full view of us. CRAZY! No one came to our table to say they were gonna be our waiter going forward. Pitiful.
