In turn, the food will not be ready for 35 minutes to 45 after that , No sense to wait at a bar for an hour plus for to go food. Could we be any more unprofessional location these days? Came in for breakfast left with nothing we'll not recommend to anybody will not return. Sadly moods pub has lost my business as well others when I post this to the food sites and yelp.

The first time a friend and I stopped in, the bartender blatantly overcharged is on everything and then refused to refund our debit card 6, rather refunding cash. There's nothing like trying to run fraud she's on new customers. Tonight, my son and I stopped in. There were only 3 customers at the bar when we sat down, but the bartender was far more interested in talking to 1 of them than addressing us. FYI, it was a less than professional conversation, leaning in much more intimately. When she was done with her chat, she proceeded to the kitchen to hang out for a couple minutes, only popping out to glare at us again while on the phone. Finally, after a couple more minutes with no sign of our bartender, we left. This place offers mediocre food (on a good day) and a pathetic beer selection. While I am all to happy to patronize a local establishment, even with subpar offerings, I'm not going to pay for such pathetic service. Take your money elsewhere. There are many far better establishments who value their customers, all within 5-10 minutes drive. Keep driving when you see the sign for The Sportsman.

This was, without question, the worst restaurant experience I've ever had…read more Our family and friends came to Shenanigans expecting a nice dinner, and it turned into a complete disaster. The food that did arrive first was cold. Then we waited another **30 minutes** for some of the remaining meals, and **45 minutes** after that for the rest of the food. By the time everyone had something to eat, no one was eating together, and the quality of the food was disappointing across the board. The service was just as bad. We had to repeatedly ask for water refills, and when we were finally ready to leave, we even had to ask for our check because no one came back to our table. When we asked why everything was taking so long, we were told they **didn't have any clean plates** and were waiting for dishes to be washed before they could serve food. To make matters worse, when we expressed how unacceptable the experience was, we were told there was **no manager working that evening**, nothing could be done about the bill, and essentially, "it is what it is." Long waits can happen, but cold food, extremely delayed meals, poor communication, inattentive service, and zero effort to make things right are unacceptable. We left frustrated, disappointed, and feeling like our business didn't matter at all. Unfortunately, I can't recommend Shenanigans to anyone based on this experience, and we certainly won't be returning.

I am not sure if it takes place here or the building right next-door, but they are part of the same venue. Maybe just sniffer names? But the venue is nice, it's dark, which I do like because when you're on stage, the audience isn't something that you can really see so it makes you feel a little more comfortable. The DJs are super nice and friendly and very supportive. There's great singers, mediocre singers, first timers that are really nervous and you can tell but everybody cheers them on! Karaoke is not about being the best singer in the house. No one's gonna get discovered by a record label here. We are all just here to have fun and sing songs we like. The bartender that usually works is super awesome and really nice. The drinks are really good and decently priced and they have a bunch of different snack foods that you can get. In the rockstar karaoke room you can always go next-door and order food and have it brought over . While the rockstar karaoke area just has appetizers. That's been my main experience. I haven't gone there on other nights, but they have a nice stage and sound system with cool lighting and bands. Come and play there. I haven't seen any bands there yet, but I'm definitely interested.

With Bass Pro Shops and Hooters it's a veritable one-two punch of family entertainment and refreshment! :-P It's been years since I'd been to a Hooters, so I wasn't expecting the "newer" style wings. I recall that in days of yore the wings came out with the drummies and flappers still attached to one another. Now, they're separated. This saddens me because that's what *all the other* wing joints do. Used to feel good that Hooters had this culinary way to separate itself. Alas, no longer. That said, I do like the light breading on the new wings. And they weren't overcooked to a leatheren crisp like the wings I've gotten lately from the place with the talking spokes-bison. I meant to eat ten and ate twenty! And the parm garlic and lemon pepper rubs are both winners. The crab legs didn't impress, though. The legs were tiny and the shell had no snap--more typical of the cheapo crab you get at AYCE buffets. (Here's another chance to stand out, Hooters!) Clam chowder is good and has a lemony tang.

Waiting. To be acknowledged for three minutes. And not even that they were ignoring us but NOBODY was up there. And our server. I don't know. Maybe everyone just needs better training.
