We love the wings! Fun atmosphere!

Love tav. Great place for your classic bar food as well as a few unique options.Great drink selection, fun atmosphere, decent patio.

Graduation dinner reservation. They were ready for us as we walked in. We were seated right away & our orders were taken. They were very busy so we did have to wait little longer for food to be served but it was hot & delicious. Wide variety of options on menu. It was a noisy bustiling place so if you are looking for quiet, this would not be it. Great place to watch a game. I would highly recommend!

Great drinks & food! The Patio was perfect!

The food here is mediocre at BEST, it’s definitely overpriced. On the bright side, the service is good.

What a great place. We've been twice now to watch the Mavericks NCAA hockey tournament and the food and drinks are awesome and reasonably priced. Highly recommend the fish and chips, the Cubana sandwich, and the Moscow Mules are tops (especially the Watermelon ?.) Beware of the carrot cake - it's HUGE and incredibly tasty. BTW - Amanda is a great server.

We stopped here on a busy Sat. night just before 7pm. They told us it would be about 20 min for a table of 2. It was about 10 min, which was nice. Waitress Emma W. took our order for Wings and Wine. The wing were so good, that we decided to have another order. That order took much longer. I then noticed a basket sitting on the counter to the kitchen, wondering if it was ours. After about 5 min, that I noticed, another waiter brought that basket to us, which was very nice to help out, but how long had it sat there?? This basket only had 11 wings, not the 12 like ordered. We did not say anything, being the 1st order had 13 wings. Guess the cook doesn't know how to count. And, by this time almost 8pm it was not as busy. These little things are the reason for me not giving a better rating.

The coconut chicken fingers are the best! Have them with the waffle fries and it will be one of your favorite dinners ever!

Had not been there in 15 years, and now I remember why. Hot, crowded, and loud. Food is ok, and a reasonably good drink selection, but neither so good that it explains why people are drawn to this place. Number 4, Flask, Dino's and 2rd Street Tavern are all far better, and owned by the same family.

The service was great we really enjoyed our waitress. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice. The food was good we didn't have any issues with what we ordered. We thought it was a little overpriced for what we received.
