Everything was delicious. My friends took me here and they weren’t joking about the quality of food and drink.

I’m a dive bar guy. This is the ultimate. Quit looking. Awesome food, perfect decoration..in a warehouse next to train tracks.

What a great dive bar! Local music, great food and rockin’ staff. Local hangout for sure. Mosquitoes are tough, so be prepared if they like you….

I enjoyed this meal, Philly cheesesteak had good flavor (comes with jalapeños on it). Steak was cooked well but man the potato skins were a delicious appetizer would definitely recommend. Also thought it was cool they serve RC cola instead of Pepsi or Coke products! Will definitely be back!

The Royal American looks like and is a dive but DO NOT let that fool or deter you. Their food is off the hook fantastic, they have the basics but they also have elevated dishes as well. The have a soup of the week, different specials, and the staff meal of the week. I’ve eaten at TRA multiple times but this is my first time reviewing. This trip I got the Patty Melt Lance’s way. Without a doubt the best patty melt I’ve ever had. Trust me you can’t go wrong, just make sure that you have plenty of napkins. To top it off the draft beer is ice cold. If you don’t know, now you know!

We were sent here by a staff at husk for the recommendation of a patty melt. It was late and husk was closing and nowhere good left to get food. Was absolutely blown away at how delicious it was. The fries were perfect as well. Will definitely be adding it to my list.

So, our first time here. This is really a step (maybe a half step) above a dive bar. BUT, the food is GOOD. Very little seating indoors and it’s loud, so next time I would go back when I could sit outside, I’d probably like that better.

Definitely a dive bar. The bar itself is laid back when there isn’t a band. Good place for happy hour or weekend boozing. They have food specials constantly that are always really good. Don’t be scared by the looks of it, the put out really solid food. This picture is one of their specials that’s a chipotle chicken bowl. Worth stopping by and trying.
