I suggest people keep a close eye on their bar tab and the bartender. They overcharge you for drinks you didn’t order give you the difference back in cash then turn around and recharge your bank card. Sleazy business sleazy owners. Word of advice either pay in cash or better yet avoid this dump altogether.

Heather Anderson

Food was cold and bland. Service was great but that couldn't make up for the waste of money on the food. Won't be back.

Every single time in this place first and foremost is all bartenders minus maybe one seem stressed not happy and act like your a problem kinda stinks when u wanna have a good time they drown that out just straight miserable do not wanna be back but I keep trying and hoping and it never changes. I ask owner do something make it a happy place and u make it but happy people make it 3 times plus. Second quit doubling drinks u had one and charge 3 we see it thanks hope it gets better. Food went down hill sorry do better and get a bigger return. THANKS

We will never be going back to this restaurant. Our waitress (Krystal) was awful. She never refilled drink or checked on how our food was. She stood at the bar and talked to her coworkers for a good amount of time. We should not of tipped her but we did. The manager spoke with us and he could truly careless and said he would “talk to her.”

My husband and I came here for dinner on a Saturday night. We chose to sit at the bar. Initially all was well. The bartender was friendly, the menu had tons of options and the prices were good. I ordered the fish and chips and my husband ordered the special of the day - brisket on top of Mac and cheese. I also got a salad. The salad arrived and was a good size with nice fresh leafy greens - not watered down iceberg lettuce. I was impressed. Then the bar began to fill a little and a party came and sat right next to us. These people were obviously regulars, calling the bartenders by name. They were drunk, and ordered shot after shot at 6 pm. They were yelling profanity and started chatting with another couple on the other side of us. The men were standing behind my stool, putting their hands on my chair and shaking it as they talked. We were too uncomfortable to say anything because these were big men who had obviously had too much to drink. Then our food came out. My husbands Mac and cheese had a horrible presentation. It looked like it had been thrown in a bowl, scooped out, and put back in. The side of the bowl was smeared with cheese and it looked messy. The food was ice cold in the middle - it was as if it had been in a cooler and not warmed up all the way when someone reheated it. My husband almost never complains but he asked if if could be heated up. The server immediately realized how bad it looked, took it back to the kitchen and brought it back - the exact same way- just warmed up for a minute in the microwave. Still in a dirty bowl. I asked for extra tartar sauce with my dinner. They brought it but charged me extra. After that, the bartender basically ignored us to serve these other louder patrons and we had to ask four or five times for refills of water and pop and our check. I think this place had potential but the clientele scared us off from coming back and the food should have been remade completely or removed from the bill. They knew better. Avoid this place unless you want reheated food and to possibly engage in a bar fight.

This was a dare I say, a TRANSCENDENT experience. I haven’t finished a plate so cleanly in years. Me and my boyfriend went on a whim, and are taste buds were delighted. Once the sweet grilled cheese of the NEW grilled cheese burger hit my tongue my feet lifted from earth and floated through the clouds to heaven. The cheese, the beef, the bread, the tomatoes, the sauce, THE BEER! Oh what a splendid place to let your hair down and let your toes out. Toodalooo.

The Sunday brunch is really good! I had a waffle and chicken entrée, and it was really good!

What you'd expect for a sports bar. Large space. Food is average across the board with no stand outs. Service is usually a bit slow due to staffing issues but staff is friendly. Would be nice if the high top chairs had backs. Not many local options in that area so this is one of the better choices. Vegetarian options are salads and I think a veggie burger. Double check about the appetizers if you're vegetarian because both the Brussels sprouts and Mac and cheese have some sort of meat action going on that wasn't noted on the menu.

Positive:- Both me and my girlfriend's meals were good. We both got burgers, her getting the BBQ burger and me the patty melt, and we got the Buffalo Chicken poppers as an appetizer, with an cinnamon apple mule drink, all were great.- Instead of waiting for a check you can choose to pay online via a QR code on your check, so you can pay and goNegatives:- The menus we got were both dirty with dried sauces on them- Our server was venting to us about her bad day and seemed generally out of it, which I get people have bad days but it didn't add any POSITIVES to our 1st visit to the restaurant.Overall food was good enough that we may come back, though maybe not often. Cost for 2 meals, appetizer and drink was just shy of 60 dollars including 15% tip.
