The Tavern @ JR Crickets

A full star is being generous. Really! I came here on 12/29/11. Just looking for somewhere to go, hang out and catch with my friend I came to visit. When you come in, you have no idea what to do (considering the velvet rope and all), self seating or wait for a hostess? After a minute or so, we realize it was self seating.

We took a seat, and placed a drink order. I decided to go to the restroom. The horror! The place was a crime scene! Unbelievable! Who knows what was on the floor and stalls. The place hasn't been cleaned in eons! I didn't want the cuff of my jeans to touch the ground.

Needless to say, I didn't order any food. If the bathrooms are that gross I can only speculate what the kitchen looks like.

Save your coins...

Look. After experincing the Wyndham Hotel next door, this place was an unexpected surprise. Look, it's a dive,when my wife and I walked thrrough the front door we both looked at each other and I asked her did she want to go. We reasoned that we didn't want to search the area ( was there only to position ourselves for a morning flight) for something to eat without a car. The area is kinda dicey and your radar has to be sharp for incoming adversity if you know what I mean. So, we sat down and ordered the usual fried sports bar fair (appetizer: fried catfish nuggets, and 2 main courses Tilapia/Shrimp and Seafood Combo)  and the thing is this....the orders were brought out quickly and piping hot by a very personable and attentive server. They had ( and I counted) 14 monitors pumping all kinds of sports including a massive projection T.V.  ( at least 150' diagonal) in front of us. Nice, for a sports junkie like me. Never saw a double bar where there are 2 bars positioned in front of each other. I need to get out more, I goved on from guess. We got there around 1645 and left about 1900 as the place got lively and we were engaged in conversation and light banter. We left full and happy and immediately observed a police action/chase across the street. So, the 4 stars is more for the rescue and being right on time than anything else. Otherwise it would have been a 3, but hey like lotto.....you never know.

It's cool spot if they would give better service food is ok but again service suck and they add 18% to final cost when over 40.00 not worth it
