Music bar with a pulse. The atmosphere was great. Good music with karaoke. Friendly smiles all around. Prompt service and excellent selection of wines to boot.

Nice place, good workers, but disappointing food. Our $14 crab stuffed pretzel came out cold and with a light paste of crab. When pointed out, they brought it back, “flashed” (microwaved) and reserved it to us. I highly suggest you skip it.

My wife and I were given a gift card for 279 last Christmas and it was about to expire so we gave it a try, having never been. Absolutely great sports bar! Food was way above what I expected. The cheesesteak is my wife’s new favorite! Everything was fresh and very well made! Loads of TV’s and even a TV in our booth the watch the game. Our waitress/bartender was super nice and friendly. Highly recommend! Will be going there from now on to watch the games with friends.

You Need To Know? No wait even though there was no parking for a friday night. Went & had a couple burgers & drinks. Waitress was friendly & helpful. Food came out in a timely manner. Fried pickles were a bit to salty. Burgers were large but over-seasoned & buns were huge. Good experience! Now You know!

Chef salad from 279 Bar & Grill in Plains. In specials once in a while but so good! Their strawberry jalapeño margarita and lucky charm martinis are pretty damn good too!!

Drove by this place many times so I finally decided to stop in and I couldn’t have been any happier with my decision! Great atmosphere – clean and roomy accompanied by friendly and attentive staff. The food was absolutely delicious! Started off with some hot bleu cheese boneless bites. The sauce was great and the chicken itself was cooked perfectly. I ordered a cheesesteak for my entree and it was amazing! The peppers they put on it were particularly good for some reason. My friend ordered a bacon jam burger for his entree which he said was amazing (and I believe it because he inhaled it ). ALSO the fresh cut fries are probably the best I’ve ever had! They’re comparable to Coal City which was my favorite place for fries but they closed due to the pandemic. In conclusion this place is a hidden gem and I’d encourage anyone to give it a try. I can’t wait to go back and try more
