    Cali chicken sammich :)
    Nandanie S.

    Food, service and vibe are not bad! I've popped in here to have a beer after work a few times and service was pretty decent. I do wish there was more seating because it does get packed pretty quick as aside from the bar area and a few tables there's not that much room. I've had their chicken sammiches and specials and they're pretty decent with ginormous portions!! Apps are also pretty good too.

    Here is a great place to catch the game. Not a bad seat in the house. Fantastic pub food and great service. Even if they are busy they were very attentive.

    Food is always great here- absolutely no complaints. The place is a typical sports bar with multiple screens, though sometimes difficult to hear what ever is featured. For some reason golf is ALWAYS on- boring! Service is spotty at best- food usually comes quickly but it seems that the bar is chronically understaffed and because the place is dense with regulars trying to get bartenders attention can be mind numbingly frustrating for a local who isn't a barely or "one of the boys." It literally the only thing that keeps me from going back when there is anything close to it being busy.

    Great Sunday football bar... come early if you want a seat, especially when all the New York teams are playing.

    Service could improve, food is alright, drinks are good, customer base is friendly. Table service was virtually nonexistent. If you come here for a drink or food, you walk up to the bar (which is packed with regulars on Saturday nights) and wait to hopefully catch a bartender's attention. If you manage to do that somehow, and draw their attention from the regulars to yourself, the drinks are alright. The environment is friendly from customers, and with a Jukebox and Live Sports Broadcasts playing, if you can get past the service flaws then it may be a nice outing with friends.

    Looked better than it tasted

    Met a friend here for lunch. Definitely sports bar vibe, and eclectic crowd. Service was excellent. Both bartenders checked on us regularly. Kaylee especially. Food was good, not great. I had the Kobe burger with cheddar and well-done fries. My friend had a Kobe burger w shrimp and bacon. To me, the burgers seemed to be preformed patties, and the fries seemed to be from a freezer. They were prepared the way we asked. If I go back, I would have to try something else. The Kobe burger and fries did not do it for me

    forgot to take a picture before absolutely destroying my thai peanut wings. here's the rundown: the thai peanut wings were good, not dry yet crispy, and flavorful. i tried the mango habanero wings and they weren't nearly as spicy as i expected and the maple chipotle swings were vaguely sweet/spicy rather than actually maple and chipotle. we went on a sunday night (not during football season) and it was pretty empty except for the bar. it's a sports bar, and it delivered on the sports bar expectations (lots of tvs playing sports). the service wasn't AWFUL, but it certainly was bad. our waitress greeted us unenthusiastically and stood there for a while after we said we'd need more time. she wasn't very friendly or welcoming, didn't tell us what wasn't on the menu before we ordered something that they didn't have, and forgot my drink (granted we were in a big party, but notepads exist for a reason). as a waitress, i was pretty disappointed in the service. overall though, food is pretty good and my date liked the chicken quesadillas a lot. just don't go expecting good service.

    Omg it's one thing after another:…read more idk if it's because it's a new cook or it's because it's before 4 O'clock on a Thursday. Or if the new cook can't tell what cut of steak he's suppose to be cooking. My steak was over cooked or the wrong cut for what it was suppose to be. They were out of strawberry . (they went to Hannaford to get them). For the kids yogurt but they gave the kids fries for the kids well they waited! The manager was so helpful and kind. Thank you apple bees. And congratulations to the bust boy promotion to server!! You did a great job!! I like your the look of this restaurant but It wasn't changed in over 20 years.

    The value for the money here is great. This is where I go when I want to have the dining experience…read morebut don't want to spend a lot. And it's perfect for just that! The kid's meals are less than $10 & there are ALWAYS seasonal deals happening for appetizers, drinks, combos etc. I got a fancy Christmas cocktail for $6 the other day. You aren't going to beat that price anywhere! The service is usually wonderful. Obviously, sometimes there is a wait or an overwhelmed server but that isn't ever enough of a reason to complain for me personally. The atmosphere is relaxing, you can usually see a game or an event on the multiple screens scattered around the restaurant. I've been here dozens of times & can only think of one singular instance that would constitute for any complaint at all-- so 4 stars! :-)

    Lately, I feel like all restaurants have been tasting the same. The same old frozen food that is…read moresupplied from the same vendor. This is not the case here - all of the food we had was made in house, and you could taste the difference. The beer battered fries had a thin flaky coating that made them irresistible. The buffalo calamari was cooked perfectly, piled up, and topped with blue cheese crumbles and green onion. Don't even get us started on the boneless wings... also, the ranch and blue cheese dip were out of this world. Guess what? HOME MADE. We came here to watch a Sabres game, since we heard there were a ton of TVs to watch the games. And we ended up being surprised with a fantastic dinner and great service. What a great night.

    Stopped in for a late dinner. The place definitely has a sports bar vibe…read more I opted for the Calamari (West Side Original Recipe!) which as flour dusted calamari, scallion, cherry peppers, balsamic glaze reduction, parmesan cheese for $18. Honestly, they had a ton of potential, but they didn't deliver. The calamari was soggy instead of crispy. The balance of other items was pretty off. It looked pretty, but didn't taste good. The calamari was bitter in addition to being soggy. The balsamic glaze added a sweetness, but it wasn't offset by enough salty/spicy. It was served with a tomato sauce that didn't go well with the toppings. It was an odd dish. If it wasn't so late, I might have actually sent it back (which I do probably once every 10 years). Fresher, crispy and less bitter calamari might have been enough to fix the balance. My dinner companion had a sandwich with a bun, lettuce, apple slice, fried chicken, cheese, and bacon. I think it might have been a special. It was ok. It came with Saratoga chips, which is why we picked the restaurant. We wanted to get Saratoga chips in Saratoga. Unfortunately, they were hard and cold and bland. Lots of TVs. Service was meh. I felt like they were put out for serving us. There's a good bar vibe. If I were to eat there again, I would go for beer and wings.
