We had a groupon 30 for 15. Â We arrived and "hostess" said sit where you like I'll bring menus. Â We found one "clean" booth (table was sticky", Â I showed hostess Groupon and she said they don't do Groupon anymore. Â I explained I just got it and she said she'd find out, she never came back. Â Waitress was fine, we ordered, she brought drinks and plates for appetizers. Â When she brought food I showed her the plates had a film of grease, she brought two more and after she had "wiped" them they were still greasy! Â Famous sweet potatoes fries were limp and soggy. Potato skins were swimming in grease. I talked to waitress and she said there was no manager or supervisor on duty. I asked the hostess for Mgrs name and e-mail, she never came back. Â Asked on my way out and she said "oh, I forgot ". Â She ripped a scrap of paper off and wrote Billy Bonner, said he doesnt have e-mail. Â We won't be back!
Review Source:I'd give it more of a 3.5 if i could. I had a Groupon to this place and went with my husband to watch a Bruins game and get some good bar food. I felt very young at this place, as most of it was older men and couples stopping in for a mid-day drink. It was a little bit shabby inside but the number of TV's and the memorabilia on the walls added some positives. The food was good - we had the buffalo wings for an app, i had a monster of a hot dog and my husband had the steak tips - everything was very tasty - great flavor and plenty in regards to portion. Lots of drink options and the bartender was very friendly. Definitely a local dive bar but i'd go back to watch another game and have some wings and beer.
Review Source:Simply the easiest place to review...
1. Tvs everywhere!! (Good place to watch your favorite sports with all your friends)
2. Food is bar food, greasy yummy appetizers, great steak tips (according to my bf) and delicious pizza made from the pizza shop attached to it. (I suggest a white pizza, yum!!)
3. FULL BAR (duhhh it's a bar)
4. Nicest staff ever!!!!
A place where myself, my bf and our friends frequent!
if your looking for a dump to hang out with the guys, get drunk, watch football, and regret your over all life choices this is your place. First off this has by far the worst name in the history of restaurants. sports, spirits, and steaks. incase you have no idea what is inside a crappy local dive bar, well there it is right there in the name for ya. either way I sat there with two friends enjoying the atmosphere that reminded us of a vermont woodland aa meeting. we sat and drank our faces off for super cheap and enjoyed some rousing people watching for a while. I mean if you like watching 6 small tvs instead of one large HD tv then your good. probably a place where the bartender says stuff like "man if these walls could talk eh..." just over all underwhelming BUT thats just what me and my red neck friends was looking for!
Review Source:Worst service I have ever experienced.The waitresses couldn't decide what tables they were supposed to be serving in fact your better off going to the bar to order a drink but only if you stand in front of the lottery machine.Extremely hot in there and even asking to turn the fan on was too much for them to do.It smelled like sweat and body odor,nasty.Don't bother playing pool since the tables are $1.50 and don't work properly.I will never be back and it doesn't even deserve the 1 star it deserves minus 5 stars.If they keep doing business this way they will be closed.
Review Source:We went here on a whim. Just trying to find a new place for some good ol' pub grub. The atmosphere seemed pretty cool. We walked in and it was confusing what we should do to, so we just sat at the bar in the last 2 seats. We didn't order any booze/beer. They seemed to have a pretty good selection though!
We ordered Orings (good), Chili (Ok- more tomato sauce based than crushed tomato- and nice and spicy, but I like mine better.), and Hub ordered a chicken finger sub that he liked. The bread on it was yummy.
The food came out fast and the waitress was friendly.
As it got busier, it took longer for service and checkout process. Kinda a long wait at times.
Overall it was a good choice. We got out of there sodas, tip, food, and all for about 25 buckaroos.
The bathroom smelled like methane, but was clean- just needed some air freshener I think.
There were tons of little kids playing pool (which I am never a fan of- That shouldn't be allowed in my opinion.)
I would go here again I think.
After going to Walmart, we decided to have dinner here. We liked it last time, so why not? It was a Monday night and we went at about 5:30. We were the only table in there then entire time. We seated ourselves and the bartender acted as our waitress and brought our drinks immediately while we looked at the menu. We waited for 15 minutes before another employee came through the back door and saw us. About 5 to 10 minutes later, that other employee finally came back and asked if we'd been forgotten. I don't know why we waited - we just watched tv and drank - I kinda wanted to see how long it would take.
My bf got a big hot dog and the chicken wings while I ordered the chicken quesadilla roll ups. I almost asked if this was truly a quesadilla, just rolled like a burrito, but for some reason I didn't...Normally I'd fault myself for not getting details, but the description used words like tender chicken and FRESH peppers. Imagine my suprise when out came a basket of taquitos. As in, the kind from the freezer section of the grocery store. I can buy in bulk from BJs and get a box for $10 (they're in my freezer now), but apparently I paid $7.95 to have them heated up for me. And to tell you the truth, these weren't even as good as the ones from BJs - these ones didn't even have whole pieces of chicken in them, but instead a mushy ground up filling. Ugh. Knowing how bad they are for you (granted I know quesadillas aren't good for me either, but I've seen the side of a taquito box and trust me they aren't healthy!), I only ate two of them. My bf's hot dog was enormous, but was just meh. This came with fries and coleslaw which were decent and ended up being the majority of my meal there. His wings weren't fully cooked - many of them were still bloody!! By this point, I wasn't in the mood to complain and, really, I'm not the type to complain or send something back. We were just ready to get out of there. So after more waiting, we got our check and left.
I've never gone back and downgraded a place before, but something about this whole experience really annoyed me and, I'm sorry to say, I felt like I had to! On the way out, we noticed there was a (wrapped) tampon laying on the table next to us. Nice. The server who finally got around to serving us was nice enough, but that was the only good thing about the visit. Â IF we ever go back or if I were to ever give a recommendation, I'd stick with the burgers or steak tips....because of the server and our prior experience I'll be generous with two stars.
Went here for lunch today, and what was GREAT was there was only a handful of people at the bar and no one for lunch. Me and my two coworkers all had the tips and fries for lunch. I had mine cooked medium rare and it was cooked just right there was still some juice and the flavor from the marinade was still there.
The name has changed from when I was last here, but still the sports bar atmosphere with several tv's on the wall.
This place is a hidden gem!
The new name is awkward enough that we still just call it "The Dog" but about the only other thing it has in common with the old place is plethora of TVs! Â That and the great steak tips!
Gone is the dark smoky barroom and sticky floors which one had to endure to enjoy the grilled meat. The remodeled restaurant is cleaner and brighter than the old place. There are still two main rooms - a rear dining area with cozy booths (each with a personal TV), a pool table, and a roomier feel, and the front lounge and bar area which tends to have a larger crowd. We prefer the front for superior people watching.
All manner of sports are displayed on what seems like a hundred or more TVs. This is great for keeping the kids interested in sitting at the table or if the big game is on. It does mean there can be a larger crowd during the playoffs or similar events but the fan atmosphere only enhances the experience.
The food is nothing fancy. Nachos and skins on the appetizer list, standard pub fare with excellent burgers and sandwiches. Â The outstanding entrees are the various forms of tips. The marinades are just right - not too salty or sweet. I'm a devotee of the sirloin tips with rice pilaf and the veggie of the day. Served with piquant cherry peppers, the plate is ample and delicious. My wife likes to order tips over a salad - either garden or Caesar - another great choice. The boys opt for the burgers or chicken tenders and love the fries.
Of course, there's a full bar with plenty of beers on tap, and a dessert selection if you manage to save room. We usually get out of this place for around $20-$25 per person and consider it a bargain.
We all still call the place "Big Dog" because it just sounds better than Sports, Spirits and Steaks. Â This is my default location to meet high school friends for drinks everytime I go back to Reading. Â I am here at least once every trip to MA. Â
They've added more TV's since the last time I was here so it makes for a great place to see any of the Boston teams. Â Good selection for draft beers..I always get the 22 oz since friends always drive. Â I've only eaten here once but my friends always chowdown on the wings, pizza and potato skins. Â I assume its great based on how quickly they all gorge themselves.
Went here for drinks and to hang out after a Boston Derby Dames event. Â The place wasn't marked outside as Big Dog Sports Grille so it was a bit more difficult to find. Â The back entrance did have a Big Dog sign so I'm not sure what their deal is (under new mgmt or a new biz?). Â Anyways, the service was decent if not with some Boston attitude. Â There's a ton of tv's around no matter where you sit. Â There's plenty of different rooms in case other patrons are being assholes, which is probably gonna be common here. Â The pizza served is by the pizzeria next door. Â We ordered one only to be let down 20 minutes later when the waitress said the pizzeria closed for the night. Â So we got some sweet potato fries ($7) and a couple of tall microbrew beers ($5.50). Â Although I had a decent time, I'd only go here to watch a sports event.
Review Source:I came here a few months ago, in the middle of a monsoon, to meet up with a bunch of friends to celebrate a family member's life. We showed up in small groups, but ended up with about 8-10 people in total.
The place was not that busy, but because of the monsoon, or just our bad luck, the whole register system was down, so the bartenders who usually just punched buttons had to make up tabs on slips, which took a LONG time. Some of the people at the bar were not so understanding about this added level of difficulty.
This is a fairly large space. The bar wraps around like it would if it was a 99, or Uno's... There are two pool tables on the total opposite side of the space, some video games sit on each side of the back entrance.
The bathrooms were fairly clean, considering. But it wasn't busy, I would see how a two stall ladies room if the bar were bumping. At the end of the night we kind of found a common ground with the somewhat testy bartender, and she ended up making us a round of shots which were her own concoction - something like a creamsicle (Spell that?). Very good.
