Loved the food! – I must have gone here on a better night than the other reviewers because I really liked the food! I visited this place with 5 friends and we were all very happy with what we ordered. I'll admit the food is not gourmet - but it seems like it is when compared to the average bar food! I reccommend the flatbread and the wings! The service was great - our waitress was all over our table and she was really adorable. This bar is big and had a pretty good crowd for a Wednesday night. The night we were there they ha... read more
Great place for a girls night – My girlfriends and I love to catch up and gossip here. The booths are big enough to fit six of us and the weekday specials are perfect. Monday has half-priced wine and Wednesday is $2 Blue Moons. The food is pretty good, but not spectacluar. The place is HUGE so you dont feel cramped. Also love the TVs in the booths. Not sure why it gets so crowded on the weekends, so we just stick with hitting this place during the week.
Save your time and money – We were here over the weekend for a birthday party and it's safe to say that we'll never come back. Our group was supposed to have a small amount of dedicated space for the group as we booked 10 days before the event and they had booked the private space already. When we got there, the event planner seemed more concerned with how she looking in her faux fir hat and coat than seeing to it that our group was properly taken care of. We had to wait over an hour for a table even though our group of 40 p... read more
The personal reviews were right – I checked out this place despite the three reviews written about how bad the food/service were here. Well, they weren't wrong, although our server was incredibly attentive and that was the only thing good about the place. All I have to say is....fire the chef! Horrible food! I had the beef sliders which were charred and left a nasty aftertaste in my mouth all afternoon. The ambience here for a sports bar is really weird- poorly laidout and if you sit in the back of the bar you get to smell a... read more
Couldn't even tell you about the food. – We sat at a back table and watched the waitresses (3 in total) serve several customers around us. We found it humorous that neither one of us could even catch the eye of these ladies. It was a moderate Wednesday evening, after 30 minutes and a well placed "MENU?" written on the white paper table setting a blond waitresses addressed us. She did not introduce herself, just "explained" we needed to indicate our interest in eating to get a menu. After receiving a menu it was the last we s... read more
East Coast-based neighborhood bar and grill sticks to American fare. – In Short Known for its casual ambience, this East Coast chain finds a home in Lakeview. The bar serves traditional American fare for lunch and dinner featuring such standards as pulled pork sandwiches, patty melts, turkey burgers and brunch items like omelets, French toast and buttermilk flap jacks. Party rooms are also available.
Horrible food, slow service! Skip this place! – While the waitstaff was nice, the food tasted like it was fresh out of the freezer and microwave. After dinner the music was so loud you couldn't hear yourself think...and the 20 minute wait for a drink made us leave and write this review. The cheap decor and bad food doesn't warrant the crowds at this place. I'd recommend you do what we did, find another place to go!
yuck! – Seriously. I was in shock how bad this place was. I really don't care to write reviews ever, but this was so bad, I want to save other people their hard earned $. Everything I ate there last night was disgusting. I will say, our waitress was very sweet, a little forgetful, but that was the only nice part of it. Unless you like ez-cheese...stay away. bet it'll be gone by end of summer.
