We stopped in here on a Saturday. We were looking for a place to eat wings and watch the game. We picked the right place!! So many TVs, food and drink specials, and tons of fans. We didn't really know where to sit and the waitress said, "Sit anywhere." After we told her we'd never been here, she smiled and began to make suggestions. We started with smoked wings. DELICIOUS! I ordered the kitchen sink nachos. Everyone loved the food. It was perfect sports bar food. I thought the prices were great and the portions were huge. Fun atmosphere will def go back!

Had not been in over a year and they covered most of their outside patio and added more TVs. Had fans and heaters (for colder temps). Great for day time football watching. Lots of beer/drink selections at various and cheap prices. Our server was constantly checking on us. Ordered the sampler and enjoyed that with our drinks.

This place is always bumpin! A great hole in the wall if you want some cheap drinks, delicious food, and a good time. The staff is always friendly and fun, and usually have some form of entertainment or live music. Every time I go I have a great time. I highly recommend next time you want some local, chill vibe at good prices.

This was my kind of place. If I lived here, I'd eat here frequently. I loved the outdoor space and how open it was. However, my friend and I ate at the bar. There were a few "old" men around the bar, which made us apprehensive to join, but the bartender was welcoming. They have a good beer list, but no cocktail menu. We had the fried pickles, I had the Picante Burger with chips and my friend had a regular burger with sweet potato fries. The food was so good! This looks like it could be a busy party place on the weekends, but for a Saturday afternoon it was such a chill place to hang.

I visited on a Friday night for some dinner and live music. They had their open air area closed off with the heaters on so it was perfect to visit even in the winter. The food exceededmy expectationsfor bar food! I got the chicken quesdilla with onions and peppers. It was so cheesy and the perfect balance of all ingredients. It was also a large portion. I got it with the fries which weren't that great, but my date got the onion rings and really liked them! The band was great! They were a lot of fun to listen to and multiple people got up and danced. The music was very loud though. I'd advise sitting further from the speakers or sitting inside.
