  We just had the worst experience in quite awhile. First waited 1/2 hour for waitress to finally notice us. She brought 2 drinks with food floating in them. Brought a reg. Coke instead of diet. I ordered the buffalo chicken ranch flat bread , it was the daily special.
  Received instead the Texas BBQ . Partner ordered the grilled chicken wrap instead received fried chicken wrap.
  Took 2 1/2 hours start to finish. Way understaffed , waitress seemed to never be anywhere!
  Wouldn't even bother going again.

  So... what to write about this place, what to write...
  
  Ah, yes: It's a sports bar, with lighting that's a bit darker ("classy?") than what you're used to seeing at such places. There are a multitude of televisions around the bar/restaurant, but nowhere near the plethora of televisions that places like the Recovery Room have. The food is decent. They have pretty good wings and pretty good fries. The beer is cold, so that's a plus. Service was OK, but not particularly attentive.
  
  All in all, it's a pretty decent spot that isn't expensive, but it won't blow you away.

  As promised, we returned.  It's been 7 months.  I should have read my previous review before going again so I'd know what to look for to compare.  So now that I look back at what I previously said, the only update I can probably add is that I didn't notice it to be as brightly lit inside as in the past.
  
  Initially, I thought service was going to get a very poor rating this trip.  Arriving on a Sunday just as the early NFL games were ending, the bar was almost full and about half the tables and booth were occupied.  But three or four parties were on their way out as we entered and we spied a clean booth to sit in.  It appeared that waitstaff were ignoring us as they repeatedly passed our table to clear dirty tables.  No recognition was given, not even an "I'll be right with you" statement.  Determined to see how long this would go on I refused to flag, or trip, any of them as they passed.
  
  Eventually (10 minutes?), Kara came to our table, introduced herself and ended up redeeming our potentially negative review of the service.  She was upbeat, friendly and showed an interest in seeing that we were made aware of the specials that were available.
  
  While we had no interest in the 2-for-1 bottled beers that were available, we did decide to try the $0.30 wings.  Skipping over mild and medium we chose hot.  Others might have preferred an even hotter choice, but these seemed spicy enough so that you still could taste flavors.  The wings were not very crispy but they were nice and juicy.  The accompanying blue cheese dressing did not have any blue cheese flavor even though it had small lumps of what was likely blue cheese.
  
  The draft beers seem to vary in price.  My wife's Brown's Oktoberfest (appearing on the bill as Guinness) was $5. My Davidson's IPA was $4.
  
  I decided to try "The Whole Darn Farm" burger ($10.99) - a half-pound of ground sirloin, topped w/ apple wood smoked bacon, smoked ham, Gouda cheese, fried egg, and sauteed onions w/ choice of fries or home made chips.  The beef was cooked perfectly to my requested medium-rare and had a nice grilled flavor.  If I were to order this again I might ask to hold the onions since being sauteed they made the bottom half of the roll very  greasy.  I really should try to remember to try something other than a burger the next time.
  
  My wife was tossed between a Reuben and the Slider Smorgasbord.  Here was an example of Kara wanting to help us make the best decision.  Based on this discussion my wife chose the Slider Smorgasbord ($8.99) - Three slider rolls with Andouille sausage, pulled pork, and a cheddar bacon burger, also served with either fries or fresh made chips.  The pulled pork was tasty, but the pieces were not really "pulled apart."  The Andouille slider was simply a 3 inch piece of sausage cut lengthwise and placed in the small roll.  Nothing exciting in the flavor.  The cheddar bacon burger was dry.  Since the patty is so small it's not like you can specify how you would like it cooked.
  
  As I've said before, the fries are OK, the chips are fewer but better.
  
  Kara made a point of returning at the end of our meal to inquire how my wife enjoyed the sliders.  We told her what I've written here and she was genuinely grateful for us sharing our opinion.  She indicated that this would be helpful in describing the dish to future customers... and to the chef, if asked.
  
  Once again, we expect to return.  There are still some things we'd like to try.  Noise level is high inside when there are fans rooting for their favorite team.  Unless that is what you are going for, I suggest dining at a different time of day... but then it IS a sports bar!!

  This place is nice but not quite what I expected when I heard the radio commercial for a sports bar with 50 HD TVs. Its actually a pretty classy place. I would say there were about 20 TVs or so but not all of them were on sports.
  
  We went around 5 o'clock on a Friday which ended up working out good because they have some solid happy hour specials. $2 domestic bottles and 1/2 price appetizers until 7 or so. Had the nachos, quesadillas, and wings. Portions were pretty big and we had no complaints about the food.
  
  We sat at the end of the bar and at one point someone from the kitchen came to collect the dishes that the bartender had accumulated. The guy was upset that the dishes were not cleared and proceeded to curse out the bartender under his breath. I could really care less to be honest but overall it was a pretty classless display by him.
  
  I'd return here for the happy hour specials sometime but probably not for any other reason.
