Attempted to eat here last weekend. Made a reso at 6pm and specifically told them we had to be at the River Run for a 7:30 show. We were told 'no problem'. 3 of the 5 of us ordered salads (no cooking time needed) and 2 ordered burgers/wraps. Our food came to the table at 7:15 - we had to be at the River Run for 7:25. We had to ask for takeout containers right when the food came and they didn't originally comp anything on the bill. My husband had to say something and they took $25 off the bill. The server was apologetic enough and I don't blame her but the kitchen and manager were terrible. Won't be back.

I had made reservations for six people for 6 pm a week earlier and then got a confirmation text the day before .Upon arrival I was told that we had to leave by 730 as the place was reserved for a private party. I wish they told me earlier as then I would not have even reserved there.Some of us are from Georgetown area so disappointing to drive there to be told we only have basically an hour to eat drink and catch up with old friendsOh well, we at least were able to book another restaurant but doubtful that we will ever try this place again

I went here on Good Friday for half price wine and their steak special. Our server Hunter was very attentive and friendly. The steak exceeded my expectation and a good variety of food and wine.

The server was totally devoid of personality, the food was bland, and the place can't decide whether it's a saloon or a party room for kids. Considering there were maybe 6 full tables in the entire place, I'm not sure why it took almost an hour for food to arrive. Arrived home and was almost immediately sick for 24 hours. Can't say for sure it was the food but it sure was coincidental.

where do i start , No host/hostess for at least 4 minutes. Finally we sit down and looked and the menu and got drinks , I got a beer and she got a root beer, which were both flat and distasteful. Then we got to ordering food, we ordered a starter with two mains. 20 minutes past then we got our mains and didn't even get the starter we ordered .She got the burger and fries , with no onions and tomatoes. Unfortunately the burger came with both, the burger cold bun and the fries were very greasy. The only thing i liked at this place is the sauces that you can order on the side. When trying to get the check , I had to interrupt one of the cooks to get our server, finally we end up paying the bill and leaving. I would not recommend this location.

First time eating here. We had a table of 8 and our food and drinks arrived perfect and quickly. Our meals were all very good. Out r server Hunter was very personable and friendly!! Our only issue was the AC was blowing into our table and it was very cold! Being -10 outside this is really made the dinner hard to enjoy. I basically elate with my jacket on.

Best spinach dip I’ve ever had, I highly recommend any of their beef options and their appetizers. Service was a little slow, although I went on Valentine’s Day so I understand. We sat in a pretty awkward space by the dance floor, but the other seating options looked great. Will be going
Wings Were great. My husband's Burger was very good. I ordered a Caesar and they were out of every garnish that was supposed to come with the Caesar so I was a little disappointed in that since they advertise it as a hot hot Caesar with the spicy garnish. There was nothing on the menu to tell you what a bowl of soup would cost all by itself so I had to ask her about that. I had to ask for the carrots and celery that were supposed to come with the wings and when she brought them, there was no dip. So while the food was great, I'm a little disappointed that on wing night, service of proper wings, veggies and dip wasn't there. Plus, who offers 7 different Caesars and runs out of garnishes??? Also, the only real craft beer on tap, Yellowstone, was unavailable.
The waitress was not even close to friendly, the food was mediocre at best and cold. We normally eat here prior to every storm game but the last few times we just had not had great experiences.

Service was great, one of my party members ordered a steak, and it was the BEST steak I have had. I would order it again. Atmosphere was great music wasn't overly loud, loud enough you could still hear it and enjoy a conversation with your table. It is well worth the to have q good meal.

We decided to try 1881 instead of our usual go-to places for a date night and I'm glad we did. We decided to order a plethora of items from the menu. The antojitos and deep-fried pickles were amazing. We recommend the steak sandwich, the banquet burger and the cornflakes fried chicken sandwich. The only thing I would not order is the chicken caesar wrap.For some odd reason, it had a bone in it. Thanks, Brooke for making our night enjoyable. We will be coming here again.
