The food was absolutely delicious and a very good price point. Our waitress was busy but very friendly and attentive. Noise level was a bit loud and it’s crowded but overall we really enjoyed dinner and will be going back.

Honestly it didn’t seem quite the experience I had remembered from two years ago. The doughnuts weren’t as good and the cocktails were a bit boring in both presentation and taste for the price. Not bad but for the price point it fell a little short compared with other similar places around the US

Great sports bar, lots of TVs and a live DJ during big games. They have a fan cam that makes the experience more fun and the nachos are pretty good. The food itself is pretty on par with other sports bars, but the ambience and TVs are what make it a great experience

The waiter was at the top of his game. He made you feel welcomed, greeted the fathers with a Father's Day greeting, and the food was plentiful and good. The waiter listened to our requests and followed what we asked. The afternoon was enjoyable.
