They have a pretty decent menu with options for snacks and or a really good burger. Also, their TVs are also on sports. Since I am too cheap to pay for Bally Sports to watch our less than average baseball team, it is a great place to have some food and get a little tipsy to enjoy the game.
We did take out here and it was very good. Decided to go here because my daughter eats gluten free. They have a lot of gluten free items. The girl at the front was very helpful getting my order and getting the money for it. I will for sure be back to this nice location.
LOVE the Nashville hot chicken sandwich!! They also have a nice selection of beers on tap
We went in for late night dining in. Most places stop serving right around 9pm. Menu has a pretty good selection. Lots of TV screen around if you're there to watch sport. They also have a room with games and music Jukebox. Fire pit outside for that cool evening outdoor seating. I ordered the firecracker shrimp tacos. It was great. Just the kind of tacos I like. This place was quiet enough to have a conversation with your friend there. Service was great. Waitress was attentive. A place I would definitely come back to.
This is a great spot for good food. I have been here for lunch a few times. You can be in an out under an hour. I ordered the shrimp platter this time and loved it. I enjoy both their fried and grilled shrimp. The hush puppies were ok, though maybe just a tad dry. The fries are good, standard fries. We tried the onion rings and I found them to be just ok (not much flavor but they were crunchy). I'll return for lunch here!
I sat at the bar and ordered the gluten-free meat lovers pizza, it was really good for being a gluten-free crust. I would highly recommend it. The waitress/bartender was very friendly in her recommendations. Lots of bros in this place!
Great menu with lots of choices, wonderful food, terrific server (Kristie), lots of TVs turned to sports, and decent prices...what's not to like? They even have an electronic sign outside to let you know if there's a wait! I had the Caprese Salad, an unexpected item for a sports bar, and SO unexpectedly delicious, with pesto, fresh basil, fresh mozzarella balls, mixed Spring greens, grape tomatoes (that were actually flavorful...a rarity), and all dressed with a yummy balsamic vinaigrette. I added the crispy chicken, but there are other choices. This Caprese Salad rivaled any I've had, and it was big enough to take some home for another meal. My friend said the Walnut Salad is also fresh and wonderful, but after hearing our server describe the French Dip Sandwich stacked with real sliced roast beef, she opted for that. They have several potato sides, from homemade chips, to waffle-cut sweet potato fries that were perfectly crisped and OMG good! Kristie also claimed the burgers (several varieties) are excellent, and since she was right about everything else, I trust that and I will be back for one! The reason for 4 stars is that I'm usually not a fan of sports bars (too noisy and the TVs are too distracting), but the noise level was OK, and they have obviously focused their attention on serving great, fresh food. I will definitely be back for more of that!
