Feedback
Theory offers a lively atmosphere ideal for sports enthusiasts, complete with numerous TVs and an engaging vibe. While the menu features typical bar fare, reviews highlight a mix of culinary hits and misses, including tasty sliders and impressive wings, contrasted with lukewarm sides and high-priced drinks. Although some service lacked enthusiasm, many guests praised attentive staff who went above and beyond, creating a welcoming environment that added to the experience. Ideal for groups seeking a vibrant game day spot, Theory shows promise but could enhance its food quality and service consistency to truly shine.
The food and drinks are average at best. Additionally, the service is subpar - the waiter checked on our table five times in one hour, which was a bit irritating.
Our server, a young lady whose name I can't remember, provided excellent service. She was attentive, funny, and made sure our group of 6 had everything we needed during our visit. As a wing enthusiast, I couldn't resist trying the wings at Theory. I tried the Bill Kill wing and the Buffalo wing, both of which were delicious. The bottomless mimosas were also on point and added to the overall experience. The wings are priced per pound, with options for 6, 7, or 8 wings depending on size. The prices may be a bit steep, but the unlimited mimosa package on weekends is a good deal. I would definitely return to try other menu items beyond just the wings, such as burgers or specials. Overall, I had a great experience at Theory and would recommend it to others. Thank you for reading my review, and don't forget to check out my YouTube channel "Hungry Road" for more food content!
I had the best birthday party here! Everyone at Theory was incredibly accommodating. A special shout-out to Katie, Trish, Alex, and Sam for being amazing and always going above and beyond!
