First time here. Enjoyed what I ordered and the music. Disappointed in surprise billing. Fortunately the owner was available and I was able to address my concerns because it wasn't something the bartender could handle. The owner took the time to explain the billing to which I very much appreciated the breakdown. He admitted my food was on special and that I'd been overcharged. I won't modify anything that I order here in the future. Enjoy everything as it is would be my recommendation....read full review
The bartenders at the rooftop tonight were amazing. Super sweet and efficient. Thank you! Wish there had been food tonight though.
Food is good, but the time it takes to get food is ridiculous. They need a to go cook. Someone who jumps on the to go orders as well as having a cook for dine in customers. Waitresses/Bartenders were excellent, but the cook was very rude to me and my teen daughter. His only remedy was to return our money after waiting almost an hour for 6 wings and a few tenders.

Dad Bod District is a lively downtown spot known for its good food, drinks, and friendly atmosphere. The restaurant offers a variety of options, including a Build Your Own Bowl with chopped chicken on fries, and is praised for its wings and brisket, which some consider the best they've had in a long time. The staff, especially waitresses and bartenders, are often described as excellent, personable, and attentive, making guests feel welcomed and cared for. The owner is appreciated for taking time to explain billing issues and for creating a positive environment, contributing to the overall great experience.

There were complaints about rude behavior from the cook during busy periods, with some customers receiving refunds after long waits. Despite these issues, the bar service remains strong, and the staff’s kindness helps mitigate frustrations.
The venue also features a dive bar with karaoke, affordable drink specials, and a lively crowd, creating a fun and energetic vibe that appeals to groups and nightlife enthusiasts. Overall, Dad Bod District is recognized for its good food, great service, and vibrant atmosphere, making it a recommended spot for those wanting a fun night out in downtown.
