Bout a week ago, we went in for my bf's bday.. ordered food to go, and she wouldn't serve him a drink while waiting. Even tho I was designated driver and we weren't gonna be staying there. He had been up over 24 hours and was tired... Plus a lil buzzed, but then she offered me a drink.. the whole point of me not drinking is so I can drive.. just a lil frustrated, we like the food there, but the whole thing frustrated and confused me.

I debated whether or not to share this experience, because I know I appeared rattled when I came in, but given a few days to think on it, it really wasn't OK.

I felt so uncomfortable the last time I was at the squirrel. I have PTSD and was having a panic episode when I walked in. I was polite, quiet, and just looking for a safe space to sit and charge my phone.

While I was sat at the bar counter, which was mostly empty, I was completely dressed down by the bartender. It was very clear that they thought I was a problem from the moment I sat down. I was carrying a shopping bag, which I was told to move off the seat next to me because someone might want to sit there (the entire row of bar chairs next to me were empty, no one was desperate for a spot to sit), and before I even had a menu, I was told I needed to order something if I was going to sit there, I assume because I only got a water to start.

I use to serve and bartend, so I can understand being leery of someone who appears anxious, but the way they talked to me was unwarranted. It was very clear to me that they were displeased that I was taking up space at their counter and they probably have issues with unhoused people, which I am not, but I was treated as such.

I ordered a $15 steak salad that was dry, chewy and subpar, I left them a twenty without waiting for change just so I could leave. Here's another tip: treat people better. They know who they are.

My girlfriend and I finally tried out the flying squirrel for the first time to check it out and we walked in sat down at a booth and were completely ignored by all the employees. This went on for awhile until we finally decided to leave. I would give zero stars if I could and would not recommend this place to anyone.

These people were amazing. They welcomed me in as if I were family, the cook was on point and had my food in front of me 5 minutes after I walked through the door. The owner is a very beautiful, friendly and smart entrepreneur who obviously has been doing the food and beverage scene foe years. Nice pool tables, beautiful outside seating area... my chicken was absolutely flawless, good portions, good good good. Highly recommend these wonderful people!! 4 thumbs up!

I didn't know i had my cloak of invisibility on today. We came in today, Friday 4/12 right at 5pm. There were a couple people outside and one group at the bar on the end. It was looking really slow. We sat in the middle of the bar to give the other group at the end their space. The tall girl bar tender with the round circle tattoo on the back of her neck wouldn't even look at us. A group came in on the other side of us and she quickly took their order. The guy said something and she said yeah it's pretty slow right now. Got them all their drinks and they went outside. Another person came up a couple mins later. Same thing. Quickly got their drink and wandered off. Then a 3rd group. At that point we got the hint. The bar was dirty in front of us from whoever actually got service before us from their food and drinks which she ignored that mess too. Cleaned every other part of the bar. Why? This was our very first time here. Went down the road to Chambers bar and grill and they were definitely busy. At ourselves and the friendliest lady came up and gave us menus in record time. Being nice isn't hard. Idk how you could hate someone so much before even speaking to them that you put that much effort in to ignoring them and making them feel so unwelcome.

Out of this world great service! I go here a lot to drink and always thought it was a great bar. But tonight I came in sober to buy food, pre-ordered and waited in line (which is fine) one bartender behind the bar and she was killing it! Our food is perfect I even added extra things everything is exactly perfect. Fish tacos omg so good the club is amazing and the squirrel dip is delicious. They even added forks and napkins something even most fast food places lack. Hands down some of the best food and service I've had in a hot m!!!! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND inute

Parking: Location is tight limited parking in the lot but plenty around the bar. You definitely will find a spot somewhere

Haven't ordered the food or interacted with the service too much. But I haven't had any problems either.. The atmosphere is great, I usually go to chill with at least a couple of people, end up meeting more. Cheap Rainier <3
