Standard sports bar. Clean and fair prices. Screens are in good positions. Staff is slow but friendly.
The server seemed like she didn't want to be there but she wasn't rude. The food was excellent, I had the shrimp topped tilapia with mashed potatoes and gravy and steamed broccoli. I also had 8 bang bang traditional wings. The only issue was that they had NO IPAs. Sorry but a sports bar should always have craft beer, other than this the experience was pleasant.
If you like a nice thick steak this is the place for you. The steaks and steak sides are great, and the price is pretty agreeable. The non-steak menu options are kind of hit-and-miss, but if you go to a steakhouse and don't order steak aren't you doing it wrong?
I was surprised at how well I enjoyed the cut of prime rib with sauteed onions. Service was good. Anything that went awry was quickly and professionally resolved without issue. I like the place and will return again.
We stopped in here for the first time because of a Groupon we had, and a gift card a coworker gave me. We were greeted quickly and asked if we preferred high-top table or something else. I admit, it was nice being asked rather than not having to make a specific request for something other than a high-top table. The restaurant was fairly empty when we arrived even though it was 4pm on a Saturday.
We looked over the menu and made our decisions as to what we wanted but, unfortunately, had to wait almost 10 minutes before our server made her first appearance. We found this to be strange considering how dead the restaurant was. Nonetheless, the server was polite and answered any questions we had. However, this was the beginning of the waiting game. It took longer than necessary to get us our waters and then our salads, which were fresh. When the yeast rolls showed up we found them to be rather tasty and nice & warm.
Nevertheless, from the time we were seated to the time our entrees made their way to our table was almost 30 minutes! This would be a reasonable wait time had the restaurant been busy but, as I mentioned previously, there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. For my wife and I, one of the things we focus on when we dine out is the attentiveness of the wait staff regarding our drinks. Keep 'em full and that will help to overcome minor food & service issues. Certainly, our server was polite and friendly but she didn't give the impression that taking care of customers was her primary objective. Instead, it was as if we were an afterthought. Our water ran out twice and we both had to wait for extended period of time before she would appear again.
The food that we ordered was tasty and, like I said, our server was nice. However, we didn't leave feeling as though we wanted to return. Instead, we left wondering what the wait times must be like when they are truly busy. For us, we rate this restaurant as "OK" because there are a number of restaurants within this restaurant category that provide the same food and/or the same or better service.
