Well we tried it and it was not worth it at all. We ordered 3 New York strip dinners and the special. Took less than 10 min and our food was out. $29.99 for a steak dinner is worth the money if cooked the way it was ordered. All the meals were cold to the touch and there was hardly any meat on the steaks. They tased as if they sat in a roaster all day. The best part of the meal was the coleslaw that wasn’t even theirs. Times are tough and for a family of four tonight was supposed to be our once a month eat out night. Super disappointed. If you have ever seen the movie “Waiting” you know to never send back food. Waitress was great but the food was definitely lacking.
The service was incredibly unprofessional from start to finish. Servers were rude, dismissive, and openly gossiping about customers within earshot, which created an uncomfortable and disrespectful atmosphere. The food was extremely disappointing—despite being advertised as homemade, it was clearly frozen, had a noticeable freezer-burn taste, and some items tasted old, as if they had been sitting for far too long. It was obvious the food was not fresh and felt misleading at best. Overall, the environment was chaotic, poorly run, and unprofessional. Between the rude staff, misleading food claims, and food quality that raised serious concerns, this is not a place I would recommend or return to.
Never have I been with a group of friends, just having a beer and catching up… in reasonable time of the day (7:45PM) then get asked to leave because they want to close. Best of luck to you.
I didn’t feel welcomed and 9 dollars is ridiculous for 3 chicken strips
My wife and I went there to check out the NEW place. It was filth, dirty tables, no prices anywhere, or offered a menu. The tables are very sticky and not clean as there was crumbs and salt all over the table when we sat down. The manager barely ever moved. She sat down on a stool, not paying attention to patrons, but on her phone the whole time . It looks like the cook runs a show, taking orders and going to cook and checking people out. The party room was a disaster and destroyed chalk all over the pool table and walls. The prices are never posted, listed anywhere, or saw a menu. We just ordered what we did before When it was Brainard Bar. 2 Cheeseburgers deluxes with fries and 2 beers. You could tell the BURGER PATTIES WERE PREMADE not hand pressed like they advertised on their page, veggies we out dated and the tomato was slimy and gross. It cost us just for that $54.62. My family and I will NEVER walk into this bar again!!! Too bad because we went there regularly before.😞🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤡👍👍🤬🤬🤬

If you like your sandwiches and burgers sopping grease… this is the place to go. Service was good and quick.

Fast, friendly, big variety, food is always good!
Awesome place! Owner was happy to us great food great service, can’t wait to come back!
Both of our burgers were overcooked and dry. I have been before, and the food was good, so it could just be a bad day. Service was rather slow... it is nice having all the toys there to entertain our son. However, the owners daughter was a little particular about what our son could play with.
