Customer Reviews

"First off this is more bar than grill, but the service was great and the burgers hit the spot. It does have a bit of an everyday guy kind of bar feel. Don't get your expectations up unless you're looking for a place with cold drinks and better than decent food, the waffle fries were great, burgers were good. Jeans and/or shorts would be appropriate. No need to iron you shirt. They do have an attached pool hall and bar that is a smoking section I think (i didn't go in but i smelled smoke when I peeked in the door.)"

"Hung out here whilst visiting my friends in Texas for her wedding, was a very nice place. I didn't drink there because I was the designated driver but the girls that did drink really enjoyed their cocktails. Food was immaculate, especially the fried mushrooms, and pricing wasn't too bad. Great place for a solid hangout for friends!"

- Abi M.

"My guy loves smaller bar & grills, nostalgic places that remind him of movie scene locations where cool pool scenes could be captured, and this place fit the bill. The guy pictured, and forgive me for forgetting his name, was one of the absolute coolest bartenders/waitstaff ever. This guy deserves a raise for his friendly conversation, attentive nature and overall hospitality. His suggestions were on point (food was good), and he went above and beyond with assisting my bf with obtaining a receipt once we left because he forgot it. The place is connected to another location we didn't get to hang out at, but I could see us coming back just on some ole' hang out vibes!"

"Love this place when I went. Great bartender and service, nice dive-style pool bar next door. Amazing food for a bar. I had the fried pickles and hot wings and my date got a chicken wrap and ordered it again for lunch the next day. Nightmare on Elm St sauce is the hottest wing sauce I've ever had, don't mess with it if you aren't about that spice life!!! I am totally about it, blazin wings at buffalo wild wings I can handle without too much issue, but that was insane."

- Spencer P.

"The Food is great and the Atmosphere and service is equally good! Top notch experience. This is my kind of place! Karaoke is Here, just leave your attitude and BS at home. Ie...Save the Drama for your Mama Phenomenal singers and a great vibe!"

"Ok so I love coming into a New places especially after seeing a Negative review. First came in the front door quickly greeted by the Bartender! Decide to sit down stairs in the room with Pool tables... wait for it another Friendly Bartender! What hold on Beer is super cold and they both asked if I wanted a menu! This is a Tavern with "bar" food, not your ordinary everyday bar food mind you. I order fried cheese curds, which came out golden Brown and crispy perfectly cooked for a few minutes I thought I was back in Green Bay, Wisconsin.. I opted for a dozen Wings, these too came out perfectly cooked Golden, crispy with Juicy meat inside! Flavor spot on!!' So after reading the negative comments I am calling Bull Manure! First time here and won't be the last guaranteed! Spot on amazing Service and food coming back for the famous burgers!!!"

- Mark I.

"Cool spot! The burgers on Tuesday were $5.99 and were so good! Will definitely be back! The bartender was cool and the spot was pretty unique. They have a wall of shots made from vodka and herbs/spices. Definitely adds a cool feature."
