Love this place more and more. A lot of old school music. My food was hot and fresh fried wings. On this Sunday, alot of people watched and cheered for a game on the TV. There is a bar and a stage for a local band.

Great spot for live music and dancing. Friendly people and amazing service. I would've given it 5 stars, but they served me very cheap wine. I had 5 glasses and felt nothing. I drink 2 glasses of the one at home and be tipsy, that only cost me $7 a bottle lol. Other than that I really enjoyed myself! Check this spot out I went on a Thursday.

Very nice grown folks environment. Monday nights free admission and karaoke night. Lots of fun.
Came here on a Wednesday night. First time. Average age was about 65. Didn’t matter. Half the crowd was up dancing. Even the old lady with a cane. Excellent blues rock band - just superb. Decent big stage and great sound. No cover but food was a bit pricey. Wings were fried and small but still good enough to crush two orders. Service was fast & spicy -

When to Neil's for the group Trouble No More, great time with friends listening to local music group.
Passing through town this was closest place for late night food. Pics and reviews misleading. The food was garbage. Philly was on a hot dog bun! For over $20 (bc-fries) get proper bread. No flavor. Fries brown from dirty grease. They were soggy just like onion rings. Basic fried mushrooms, tenders decent crisp but no flavor. Potato skins terrible, the whole potato still there which would be ok if they were topped abundantly. It’s like one piece of bacon spread across all and cheese minimal. Forget chives.Staff friendly but service beyond slow. No live band but that meant lots of darkness in whole section- creepy. Hard pass- if you want decent food at a minimum- they didn’t serve it. Drinks regularly priced.

I'm so mixed on how to rate this venue, but I actually believe I should try to some sort of reasonable recommendations. We were greeted by a nice lady and security at the door. The cover charge on Thursday is $10, and I arrived at 7 pm. There are multiple tables reserved so you can sit yourself to whatever is available. Our waiter came over with the menu and gave a few minutes to look it over. We told her it was our first time , and if she had any suggestions on food. She explained that she hadn't eaten anything on the menu, but a lot of guests ordered pizza and barbeque items. She also stated they were out of Steaks and Onion Rings. I asked if anything they were out of anything else. She said not that she was aware of. They have 2 options on the menu for fries. She explained that the house fries were freshly cut and made to order but would be an up charge. I asked if the tamales were made with beef and no pork, she said she believe its all beef. I explained we dont eat pork and she confirmed with kitchen it was no pork. We ordered the tamales, smoked turkey sandwich, brisket sandwich, 2 orders of house fries, catfish platter, long island, green tea shots and double shot of jack. Few minutes later she returned to say they were out of brisket. We ordered the honey gold wings instead. I also told her the Catfish basket would be a to go order. The smoked turkey, honey gold wings, house fries and drinks arrived. A few minutes later the hot tamales arrived. The smoked turkey was maybe thick sliced turkey lunch meat and heated on a flat top griddle. Nothing about the turkey was smoked. It had a sour taste in addition. The hot tamales were covered in chili and cheddar cheese. I've attached the menu that doesn't list Smothered or Covered hot tamales. The whole wings were pretty good in flavor, taste but quality/size was extremely small. The up charge freshly cut made to order fries were raw and undercooked. They had the texture of carrots. We sent the smoked turkey back and house fries. I asked what on the menu was fresh? Is the Catfish fresh? She said no, I told her to cancel that order. She said the pizza is fresh and made to order. I ordered the vegetables pizza. It arrived with no seasoning, no taste, vegetables raw, large sliced tomatoes and just not worth even eating. I didn't send it back. At this point we realize this place is GREAT for music, vibe and drinks ONLY! Sadly I would rate them a 5 based off the DJ but most people eat, dance, and drink. Unfortunately you might want to eat before you arrive.
