This is a small, neighborhood Sam’s. It’s got three pool tables, one Shuffleboard, and Darts, that all cost money. The staff are decent, kinda rushed based on how busy they are, so sometimes it takes a while to get their attention. The food is okay and the prices are reasonable. You can choose to play your own music so that’s kinda fun! Very dark and mellow but cozy and comfortable.

A friend and I popped in to this location to play a little pool because we learned that the N Silverbell location had been closed. The tables were in pretty good shape and we were too. We ordered a couple of Mudslides which were super duper & made with obvious panache and served up so exquisitely that I wished I could tuck the whole experience into a glass case in my trophy room! Coolness! Then we shot about five games and soaked up the ambience and yeah, it was lot of fun! We’re definitely coming back!

Needed help putting tables together for my family needed 5 more seats and had asked near by waitress (brown hair in double braids, glasses and leg tattoos) for help and received major attitude and received no help and when cleaning and setting up the table, threw menus on table and just dusted off the table. Then proceeded to steal other waitresses orders which lead to my family and I having to wait over an hour for our food. However our waitress(Blonde hair and white) was amazing and so kind and was punctual as possible. Food had funky smell and taste and was missing certain things.

Don’t go there! My granddaughter is two and was happy with the loud music playing and was dancing and screamed. The waitress Erica said everyone in the restaurant knew how to behave except for THAT baby! as if she was throwing a fit! she was just happy. Don’t go here as it’s not a family place to go for dinner with good fun food and spirits as they say!! Erica was so rude! But if you are drunk you can yell and smoke inside without anyone saying anything!

Basic Sports Bar w/ plastic darts, billiards, and a pinball machine. Facility was as clean as expected and had a faint smell of body odor (probably one of the current guests). Great place to get a quick snack and beer while watching golf, Nascar, b-ball, but honestly there are nicer places depending on your needs/wants. While it didn’t meet my expectations as a traveller, all the other clients seemed content and local, as many of them knew each other.

If I can give zero stars I would! Erica is very unprofessional. She said everyone in the restaurant knows how to behave except THAT child to a 2 year old who was happily playing. When there were complaints about people smoking she did not care. She argued with her guests and gave a lot of attitude. My food took 45min to come out and it was also cold and dry! I do not recommend this place to people with asthma or children with disabilities until she is fired!

The amount of food was fabulous for the price, especially now with everything being so expensive. Our burgers were overcooked, but everything else was great! Friendly and helpful staff (especially when we spilled water in the table, someone who wasn’t our waitress ran over to help). Bathrooms and restaurant were very clean!

we go for the buzztime trivia. always sports on TV. food is excellent. maybe the wings need some work but sandwiches, burgers ,and even salads are very good. many sides options but fries are tops. a dozen or so beers on tap with a nice variety. several pool tables. only ding is limited wine options and all come in the single serving bottles.

Service was terrible. Waitress Amanda was distracted, more occupied talking to the bartender and kitchen staff than checking on customers.
