When you get service, the wings and burgers are good. I'd probably rate it 4/5 on a good day. But last I was here, I went to the bar at 8pm and sat there unattended for 10 minutes while I watched the bartender take a shot with another patron, then crack open a White Claw, then pass by me to go outside to smoke, all without a single bit of acknowledgement. I don't care what you do on the job, but I at least expect to get service when I sit at the bar. There were only 5-6 people at the bar, all being attended to - it was not busy. Unreal. I won't be coming back.

Manager runs that place like a pro!! No wait staff and it’s like a well oiled machine!!!????????????

Larry is an amazing chef. We go out of our way to stop in when he's working to get a burger that Larry cooked. His burgers are magical and you can taste the love. Paired with a decent beer selection of local and craft brew...What more could you ask for.Props to Larry. He needs a raise.

Great food! Good music. Perfect price!

Bar has a lot of potential good setup Long bar two pool tables, hardly no service, they give you numbers and some big guy screaming out numbers which drowns out the terrible new wave music. Sometimes they actually bring the food. Food just okay, probablywouldn't go back.

Our party of 6 visited this establishment at 4:00 in the afternoon. There were two other customers there when we arrived. The bartender said we could seat ourselves but had to come to the bar to order. I stood at the bar for several minutes waiting to order drinks while she pretended to be busy. I was finally able to order appetizers for the table and drinks (those who chose sodas had to fix their own from the machine and get their own refills). Once the apps came out I went back to the bar to order dinner. I stood there for probably 8 minutes until an employee from the kitchen came out and asked if anyone was helping me. He took my order for the entire table and was pleasant. The entrees came to the table one at a time and despite the fact that there were two orders of wings for our table (which take the longest to cook) they came out first and the one club sandwich didn’t come out until everyone else was almost done eating. As we were preparing to leave we noticed a big white board behind the bar titled “Shi**y Tippers” dated the two previous days with three individual’s names, their bill total and tip amount. Maybe I’m crazy but I think to have 3 crappy tips in two days speaks more to the service or lack thereof than to individuals on the board! So we’ve resorted to public shaming now? I’ve been in the restaurant business for many years and this is by far one of the worst service experiences we’ve ever had. The food was good but because of the service we’ll never be back.

I like to bring the Wife and the mistress here for great wings and beer choices. Nice calm environment with great food. Can’t wait to bring my girlfriend here to check it out and play pool.

I was hoping to have a few drinks and then maybe enjoy a cigar outside on a nice evening.What I got was less than generous pour of whiskey in a plastic cup and a weird amount of attitude when I asked if anyone had a book of matches. Didn't feel welcome so I left.

The hamburgers and fries were good, but this is the first time in my life I have ever been charged for a glass of water in an eatery.

Went in to order food to go at the bar. The bartender was friendly and my food came out pretty fast. Everything was good, your typical bar type food. My favorite were the onion rings.
