We are in town from Cleveland and went here for the Browns game. We had a great experience - super food - recommend the Buffalo nachos and chicken breasts with honey / veggies & garlic mashed. By far - the best part was Marquis - the bartender and server who did an outstanding job. Thanks for a great day, Marquis!

Not aweful, but not great. Server did an ok job but had no "energy". Sounded like a great place but missed a beat.

Very bright, sports bar feel but too formal to be the place you want to go and watch games. Service was not great, food was okay.

I say this as a long time supporter of the restaurant I've enjoyed for the last 10 years: the food has gone way downhill recently and I think it's mostly due to Covid-related issues. My favorite menu item has always been the cheesesteak, which is nothing close to what it used to be. The original tobacco road cheesesteak was huge, delicious, and came with onion rings and mushrooms by default for $9. Now it's the same thing you get at every other sports bar. More expensive, smaller, and lower quality. I also can't believe they got rid of all the interesting burger choices, especially the Tuffy burger. Please bring back the old burger menu and cheesesteak.

Update: Very pleased to put this back to a 5 star review as the food is once again excellent and competitively priced. My only complaint is that they don't have the same burger options as the Durham location (Eagle Pride especially)

We moved downtown not too long ago and wanted to find a sports bar downtown close enough to walk to, to watch football. Food, drinks and service (even though he had a bunch of tables and was super busy) were good!!

Then you have the “regulars” that sit at the bar. The Jets fan (everyone will know who I’m talking about if they’ve been there for football Sunday) was yelling and cussing so loud about his Jets game it made everyone uncomfortable. Even the other regulars AND OTHER JETS FANS sitting at the bar with him would look at each other and laugh or shake their heads. I thought maybe someone would do something about it until who I’m guessing is the manager (older, shorter white lady) was over there laughing and joking with him. I know 2 other tables left bc of him and unfortunately I’m choosing another bar this weekend so I don’t have to deal with him.
Awesome to have regulars but you’ve gotta do something when one person is being overly obnoxious. He’s making you lose business no matter how much you like the guy. (And you’re a jets fan bro…. Why are you getting so upset LOL)

We usually eat here when going to the theater and have usually enjoyed ourselves. This visit was not great. It was suggested we would be 'served faster at the bar' so we sat there. Our food took a really long time as those around us (who sat after us) were served - we ordered two salads (and the meat on them was lukewarm at best). We watched one bartender pour a glass of wine, another bartender pointed out that the glass was dirty, so he poured that wine (from the dirty glass) into another glass and served it to the customer. We'll try somewhere new next time.
