Granted it's St Patrick's Day but the service is sad. There are only 2 handicap parking spaces and both are filled with cars without handicap plates. Tables were being saved by waitresses not with a reserved sign but just a single bottle or one jacket on one of six chairs. You have to order your next drink when you have a full one in hopes of having your next one in time. You may also need to retrieve the drinks from the bar because she never brings them. Forget about them clearing your empty plates.

Food took a while to come out, but due to staff shortage, I can understand they were doing their best for what they had to work with. I will be going back a whole lot better than Bdubs

I was there for a football Sunday. I waited at the door for 5 minutes waiting to see if I needed to be seated or if I could seat myself. After the same server walked past me 3 times, I was told to "sit anywhere that is open". All of the open tables looked to be in the middle of being cleaned (cups and dirty dishes on some while others still had food on the tables). I ordered wings and fries. The food came out in a reasonable time, however it tasted like old burnt oil. I'm not sure when they last changed the fry oil, but it was not pleasant. I managed to eat the wings, but couldn't eat the fries. My 4 year old daughter didn't eat anything as she didn't like the taste of old burnt over used oil. If this is how their kitchen is being run now, I will most definitely not be back, nor will I be recommending this place to any of my friends. I understand football days are busy and COVID has brought staffing challenges, but I would have rather waited an extra 15 minutes or so for them to change the oil in their fryers instead of sub par food that was almost inedible!

Love of server Courtney. My goodness did she hustle and get our food out,which was was perfect and hot and the beer was awesome.

Never coming back again. Went yesterday to celebrate my sis birthday and somebody who works there was off the clock and drunk started an altercation and snatched my sisters drink from her hand. It was fun awhile it lasted but y’all business is unprofessional at its finest. Won’t get my money again

I was pleasantly surprised when I entered the bird cage. From the time I opened the door the service and staff were great! We ordered the wing platter with a side of fried zucchini. The wings were absolutely great! They were big, crisp and juicy. The fried zucchini was also good and everything washed down wonderfully with a couple of golden beverages. I would definitely come back! Poly want a cracker for sure..

Would've absolutely LOVED to try this place but most of the family are unfortunately homebound. We tried calling to place an order for pickup and were put on a 15 minute hold...after the first 5 minutes of the endless hold another person attempted to call in to place an order as well....no one picked up after trying for 10 minutes. WTH...

They make me feel like I'm at home

Great food and an awesome place to catch the Colts Game!

Went here a few months ago, was seated and all was going well until a staff member came in and brought a horrible body odor alongside him. He walked past us with food and drinks in hand, and looked very unhygienic and like a safety hazard. I believe it’s crucial that the Virginia Department of Health intervene and immediately do a health check. Will never come here again.
