Wing Wednesday is awesome. Cold beer and great service. Fun place for football games.

I give these guys a lot of credit for being open on a federal holiday, the Monday after a Christmas Sunday.

So dang busy and the servers STILL were right on top of everything. The food was above average for a bar: bonus! And there are so many games: arcade games, darts, pool and lots more. All in all a terrific bar and grille.

Horrible experience! Our food was cold (a calzone) and when they sent the new food out, it was hot but tasted like it was cooked in an oven that hadn’t been cleaned in years. When I went to the bathroom I was appalled at how disgusting it was (see photo). How can you have a restaurant where you don’t even clean the toilets? It’s really a shame. This place has the potential to be a great sports bar, but instead it has a bad kitchen staff and obviously the management doesn’t care at all. They also have a horrible drink selection for being a sports bar. No ciders (besides angry orchard) and only two IPAs. We will not be returning. The only good thing about our experience was a kind and attentive bartender. My advice to him is to do yourself a favor and get a job at a business that cares.
