“ Went on a Wednesday night, place was a little short staffed. Only one server and he had at least one table with 10plus people. That being said the food was amazing! Some of the best food I have ever had period! The place is a little pricey compared to other sports bars, but don’t let the decor fool you this is a high end restaurant masquerading as a sports bar! If you don’t mind paying a little extra for great food, your not in a huge hurry, and you like sports and music and drinks you will be in heaven! Second visit got the Cajun fettuccine and French onion soup. The soup was amazing! Best I’ve ever had. I am not really a Cajun fan, but once I got used to the heat(it’s spicy) it was wonderful as well. This place should shut the bar down and switch to restaurant! It would definitely get five stars in no time! ”
“ Great atmosphere with 50 some TVs. Decent burger - love that they have multiple gluten free options. Look forward to trying their pizza next time! Friendly staff. ”
“ Solid place. Sort of upscale sports bar. Big menu pretty usual fare. We had Burger and spinach artichoke dip. Nice atmosphere, little expensive. ”
“ First time here. New sports pub, plenty of tvs. Was a little loud, but to be expected. Food and drink was excellent. A little on the pricey side. We loved our macaroni n cheese and jalapeno popper burgers. We had chicken nachos which were a little messy but taste was great. For my taste the beer selection could be expanded for more crafts. Service was great and attentive. ”
“ Our first visit to celebrate a birthday and couldn't be happier. A Monday night dinner that was so delicious! Steak was so tender, the servings were plentiful and my favorite was definitely the crispy sweet potato fries! Loved that my daughter could get a chicken salad on the kids menu! The atmosphere with all of the tvs surrounding each booth was wonderful. The Christmas lights added such a cozy touch too! We will be back! ”
“ Place is awesome! There are TV's everywhere like a true sports bar should be! They even had nice sized private booths surrounded with TV's. The staff were cool (especially my waitress), the food was good but, expensive. I think for the price, the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich could've been at least bigger than my cell phone and had sauteed onions and bell peppers on it and not just sauteed mushrooms. Overall, It was still good and no complaints on the taste. I will definitely return! ”
