The food is good at the restaurant. We ordered the nachos with chicken, and it was amazing. I wish they did the nachos with refried beans rather than black beans as it taste so much better with refried beans. The southwest bowl with salmon was delicious, but they gave a small piece of salmon for 8 dollars that made it expensive. The sandwich with mac and cheese was good as well. The carrot cake was ok, but it tasted better with ice cream. The service was good, but there was only one server serving inside and outdoors, so we had to look out for him for our requests. They should hire more servers as it is a pretty big restaurant to only have 2 servers to cater to everyone. We had a great time despite getting things a little late than usual, but I would still recommend this place.

Love coming here for a burger and a beer or to meet friends. Very friendly servers and bartenders. They have a couple pool tables on the second floor. Great place for meeting coworkers or having an event. The road in front has been closed since Covid and on a nice day you can have your beer and food outside on picnic tables. There’s a large city parking structure half a block away so parking is not an issue.

Wish I would have taken a picture of the pretzel sticks and queso but you will have to take my word for it that it was amazing. As was this salmon and Brussel sprouts. Awesome atmosphere. If you get the chance head upstairs amd play some games too! From pool, connect four, shuffle board, and more you’re bound to have a great time and good food here.

We stopped by for lunch this past weekend and it was a good experience. The food was good, they definitely could use more seasoning on their burgers, but it wasn’t terrible. Stay away from the Mac and cheeses, it’s just not good. The brussel sprouts however where immaculate! The drinks are also pretty good. Our bartender was nice and attentive even though she had several customers. We also went upstairs to play a game of pool. You have to leave your license or some form of ID with the bartender, then they give you the balls and you get your stick from the pool area

Stopped by for happy hour with coworkers. The drinks were good, and all were $2 off. I also had the chipotle bbq wings and the sweet smokey wings. They were saucy and flavorful. I liked the sweet smokey wings best—they had a bit of a spicy kick to them. The service was attentive, quick and welcoming. The location of the restaurant could not be better.

Our favorite little spot near the house. Go to enjoy their opening of a new beer event, or just hang out with Sara who is amazing! The foods good, especially the chicken sandwiches. They change the menu from time to time to keep it interesting. Sometimes you lose your favorite things, but you get something new. They do holiday event meals sometimes that are usually pretty amazing! Come eat or just have a beer and play pool (upstairs), get a Growler to go of any of your favorites, or just come have a nice relaxing time and watch some sports

Went here with my family on a Saturday afternoon and it was the WORST food I have ever had at a restaurant in recent memory. To begin, the menus were on a cardboard paper material that had food and grease stains all over them. We ordered appetizers, the smoked salmon dip and loaded fries. Even though the menu said waffle fries, they didn’t have any. The smoked salmon dip was terrible! It was cold, filled with mayonnaise and had a weird taste and aftertaste, only took one bite and asked the waitress to take it from the table (funny, they still charged me for it). The loaded fries were not even loaded as it just had some sauce and jalapeños on them. Ordered pizza for the kids that was greasy but somewhat decent (I mean, how can really mess up pizza?), and ordered the pulled pork sandwich and the classic cheeseburger. Burger was a frozen patty that had no seasoning and the pulled pork had some kind of sauce that didn’t remotely look like barbecue. We didn’t eat any of this stuff and took it as a lesson learned. Honestly, it reminded me of the show Bar Rescue where the establishment had a poor food program and needed saving. Didn’t see the kitchen but could only imagine. I would not recommend eating there. It’s a bar, maybe the drinks are decent but if you can’t make meals that are at least mediocre, there’s little faith in your ability to have good drinks. The service was decent as the waitress meant well, but that’s about it.

I stopped in for a late lunch, around 3:00. They weren’t crowded, I was seated immediately. But I had a long wait before anyone came over to great me, then waited again between drink delivery and food delivery. The food was great! I saw several other items that I’d love to try. Today, I had the Ranch Hand Pizza, and I definitely recommend it!

The food and beer were decent. Our waiter was nice, but he screwed up the order numerous times, and my father in law’s food never came out. The biggest issue we had, however, was the cleanliness of the restaurant. The men’s room was absolutely disgusting. The stalls smelled of putrid urine, with sticky pee all over the floor and dried on the toilet seats. I ended up having to have my wife take our son into the ladie’s room. It was so bad. Also, our booth’s cushions were angled and sliding off the bench, making for an awkward seating arrangement. I’ve been to Rock Bottoms in Ca, Az, and now here; usually a great experience, but this one was the worst.
