A curious little spot, bright, clean, and spacious, lends itself more to a fifties style hamburger joint than a bar/grill. I wasn't sure what to expect when i entered what used to be Nick's Hometown Diner. Â What I found were some damn tasty wings. Â Plump, juicy and crisped just right. The hot wings were good, and the garlic were even better.
The service was prompt and friendly.I only drank beer so I can not speak to the other reviewers complaints about liquor.
I have friends in Delran so  I suppose I'll be back. If the wings are of the same quality, Throwbacks may actually be a wing destination. Do I hear the Jug quaking in it's boots, maybe.
If I could avoid giving this place a star I most definitely would. Here goes, I really have never, ever written about any bad experience I have had at any restaurant, but this got my blood boiling . We walk in and sit down at bar table and aren't greeted for 2-3 mins, eventually we get menus and wait for our server. Server was weeded but she as nice and as on the ball as she could be. Now we don't drink much, but when I do decide to have one drink I always drink disarrono or house amaretto if they don't carry disarrono. My fiance and I ordered them on the rocks. When the waitress dropped them off they were yellow, not amber-ish brown like real amaretto is. I take one sip and it burns my throat, we look over at the bar and the disaronno bottle is practically empty but what was in there was not the correct color. So we tell another waitress that we think the bar mis-poured the drinks and could she check, as we were telling her the manager 'Maureen' sticks her head in and asks what's going on. She proceeds to pick up our drinks and put them up to her nose, smell them then walk away to go check at the bar. She has bartender bring bottle over and she smells that and smells our drinks again. She then comes back and tells us it most definitely IS disaronno and we are WRONG. She was nasty about it to boot. Â I tell her I don't want mine, and I know for a fact it is not disaronno, since that's the only thing I ever drink and it never burns my throat like it did. She takes my drink, my fiance kept his. She was short with us to say the least. We are sitting there we are talking about it and getting more and more frustrated about the way we were treated and how she handled the situation. I hate when people tell me I'm wrong when i know for a fact I'm right. Plus I feel that it was unacceptable for her to tell us we were wrong. So my fiance decides he is going to prove a point and order a drink or two more until the bottle is empty and they have to get a new bottle. Food came during all this, my chicken nachos has cheese wiz under the shredded cheese, which it didn't mention in the description, otherwise they were good. His pulled pork sandwich barely had any pork in it at all, but the sauce was good, definitely not worth $9. So we finish our food and he orders the last drink straight up before the bottle was kicked, then orders another before finishing the last yellow one. The bartender has to get the manager to get the new bottle, which is dark brown, the bartender pours the drink then puts the bottle on the lighted shelf and stands there dumbfounded staring at it with the other bartender, they pick up the drink they just poured and hold that up to the light. (Even the bartenders must not have known what they were doing, bc any bartender at least should know what color a liquor they carry should be!!) Obviously even they noticed the difference at that point. So as soon as the waitress drops the drink I ask her for the manager. The same girl that was smelling our drinks and acting very abrasive towards our questioning the drinks, came over. We showed her the glasses and asked why they appeared so different? She had an attitude still and couldn't provide an answer to my question and didn't once say she was wrong, that she was sorry or anything like that. Honestly it took everything inside me to not smack the taste out of her mouth. Afterwards she did take drinks off the check but charged us for top shelf for two when only one was top shelf. (oh and they charge $1.50 extra each for drinks on the rocks) i didn't fight it any more, paid the bill, tipped 20% on the original amount and walked out steaming. When that girl was at the table I asked if she was the manager, she said yes and I said well then do they have a bar manager? She said no so i told her i asked because it seems pretty inadequate that she as a manager, doesn't know her own bar's liquor. The only thing she kept saying was "I smelled the bottle and thought it was disaronno." No shit sherlock, what was in the glasses was the same stuff that came out of the bottle, that's where it was poured from so it should smell the same! Who knows what was really put in the bottle. We are convinced it was some kind of cheap vodka added into the bottle by god knows who. It's kind of scary not knowing what you're being served..... I told her they should invest in cameras, she said the place has cameras everywhere, I said we'll then you may want to check the tape bc that was not disaronno. Or maybe the cleaning crew or your bartenders did it.... She kept saying no, but she couldn't tell me someone didn't mess with the bottle! I'm livid with this punk girl and her shitty attitude and I'm telling everyone how much it sucked. The Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Makers Mark and a couple more all looked too light after we started checking the rest of the bottles out. I'm starting to wonder if it's a scheme orchestrated by management to take advantage of customers and make more profits!!!!!
Review Source:I never write reviews, especially mean ones, but this place is just ridiculous.They don't even deserve the one star, worst experience ever
I went here for brunch with a friend of mine on her birthday. I asked for a bloody mary with jalapeno vodka which they didn't have so the waitress said she would check if they had anything similar... Without returning our drinks come, I take a sip and my drink tastes like cinnamon. THEY PUT CINNAMON VODKA IN MY BLOODY MARY. I asked for them to remake it and they told me they were not allowed so I asked to speak with the manager (I'm not a crazy customer I just wanted my drink remade so I figured he would understand) and he refused to come out, twice. Finally the manager comes to the table and starts yelling at me and threatening to call the cops if I didn't pay. His reasoning was that they couldn't put the vodka back in the bottle. I wasn't looking for a free drink, I just wanted mine made correctly. At that point he stormed off supposedly to call the police and never returned. About 5 minutes later the waitress came over and told us both of our drinks had been paid for and we could leave. All that arguing just to end up giving away 2 drinks? I will absolutely never be back.
I was just here last saturday, and I must say that it was a lot worse from my last experience.
The last time I was there, it was late-ish and wasn't packed. This saturday it was WALL TO WALL people. Something I didn't notice on my first trip is that there is a severe lack of seating. There is a really big open space in the middle of the bar for people to just mill about. And mill they did. What made it even worse was that they sectioned off a seating area that had seats for like 25 people for a SHITTY local band to play live music. And dear god were they LOUD. I'm talking, literal damage to your ears loud. It made no sense.
Another thing I didn't like was when I paid for my drinks with my card, they swipe and hand you your card back. Thats it. Nothing to sign. I've been checking my bank non-stop to see what hidden charges that comes with, if any.
We left after a jack and coke each, after not being able to find a seat to order something to eat and not being able to take the music level anymore.
Oh, and parking was non-existent. We actually had to park at a closed gas station next door, as every legal and ILLEGAL parking spot was already taken.
This is a new made over place with nice servers.  I don't have a lot of experience with the food as we usually split a spinach lovers salad, which is usually very fresh with lots of bacon eggs and  onion, and get burgers.  The burgers are very good, although the price keeps creeping up.  Skip the avocado burger, as every time we order it, the avocado is not ripe.  The American is very good.  The beef sandwich was real dry, so we stick with the burgers.  Oh, or the wings, which are very very good, meaty vinegary hot wings.
So, I can't tell you a lot about the food, but can tell you that they are very accepting of kids. Â Our 9 month old always gets lots of attention. Â Tonight there were kids at half of the booths. Â
Anyway, we like it. Â Good food, clean, and great for kids.
This is a nice bar, and OK bar food, there is definitely better bar food places very close by, but this is okay when you want a quick meal in a bar type of atmosphere. Â
There appetizers and nachos are not that great, don't expect them to be special in any way. The lobster bisque is not worth the money at all, probably one of the worse ones i have tried, it tasted very, pre-made and just not special. i would stay away from that all together. Â
Their sandwiches and wings are very good, and they are doing a slider special thing right now which is neat, and gives you mini versions of most of their sandwiches. Â Later on at night, they may have a DJ or trivia, which is usually too loud for the amount of people that are there. Â
Many TVs to catch a game, and is very clean. Â I go, but know the food is hit or miss.
I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant, located at the former Nicks Diner location. They've spent some money updating the decor and it seems very clean and fresh. Lots of TVs of course, with excellent picture quality. Bathrooms were clean and recently remodeled (just make sure there's paper in the stall, ladies).
Food was better than average for a bar. This is the only sports bar I know that serves breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. The older folks were there chowing on their creamed chipped beef and eggs benedict. Breakfast sandwiches were available on thick hoagie-style bread, would like to try that next time. Â Specials for Lent which surprised me. Sliders menu. We had the Monterey chicken wrap (really good!) and the roast beef and split an order of fries (decent, would order seasoned fries next time).
Fairly large mixed drink menu, prices between $5-$7 or so. Surprisingly, tap beers were limited and primarily basic domestics (Guinness is about as foreign as they get).
So, long story short, they need a better beer selection and their parking is undersized for their needs. On a busy night, expect to drive all the way around and park across the street.
