    If I could give a half star or even no stars to leave this review I would, however I can't, but I digress. Myself, my wife and our friends have been to this establishment a handful of times, which in most cases, have been turned away for some particular dress code that they only have a tendency to enforce as we come through the door. Often, this "dress code" is enforced by a stocky bouncer, Caucasian male, an average to chunky build, around 5'8 or 5'9 in height, I believe brown hair, as he often where's a baseball cap, and a stable. The first time we were turned away, we were refused entry, do to my friend having on a sweat suit, and were told that the dress code prohibits this, however directly behind the bouncer are at least 3 different people, male, wearing sweat suits, Adidas, Nike, and a Jordan sweat suit, I literally pointed this out, just for him to be stumped in his response, yet stated, "I don't know whi let them in" yet did absolutely nothing to kick them out. The second time, same guy, refused entry to us do to something my wife and my friends girlfriend was wearing, yet alot of women were wearing similar things wasn't turned away. This third and final time, once again, same guy, refused our entry based on, myself wearing ripped jeans, yet stated for women it was ok, but for men it is prohibited, said that I could not be allowed in with holes in my jeans, but here's the kicker, underneath the rips in my jeans, is a different material/fabric, you can not in any way form or fashion see my skin, but at this point I'm fed up and I leave out. My wife stays to look around to see if there had been any other men granted access with ripped jeans, and sure enough they had been, I'm not one for a race angle, nor one to pull the "race card," as a navy veteran I've been around all ethnicities and nationalities, and we saw each other as brothers and sisters, but this establishment, I feel that I can without a shadow of a doubt, is in a way racist towards black people (also, the majority of their patrons are Caucasian) for the majority times we've tried to enter there, it was always something new and different to deny access, apart from that, we don't really see ourselves going back in the foreseeable future.

    Not bad bar food, but it has a great location. Do not go at night! It gets dark, and is nothing but a fight waiting to happen.

    The Reuben sliders are excellent, and the buffalo chicken sammy is also a favorite.

    The burgers are fantastic. I ordered a burger & sweet potato fries, but I also got an order of the…read morePhilly cheese steak egg rolls & onion rings to go. The burger was awesome. It was called The Big Time Burger. And believe you me, it was named appropriately!!! High quality beef, mushrooms, onions and cheese...all cooked to perfection. I'm talking melt in your mouth goodness. But.....try the sweet potato fries and you will NEVER go back to regular french fries! The appetizers are also good, but you will need to share as the burgers are MASSIVE! The Wife had the Hot Honey Chicken sandwich with Parmesan fries. It was huge and had the best taste and flavor to it. We sat at the bar and had a drink while we waited for the food. The place was pleasantly busy and had a good vibe. This place definitely did not disappoint. The prices were reasonable and service was good as well. Great burgers, unique drink and appetizer selection, and friendly staff,( especially Julian and Eli), make this a must visit if you're anywhere near Portage, Indiana! I'm so glad that I live near this place!

    Disappointing and Unacceptable Experience…read more I came to this restaurant because of the good reviews, expecting to have a nice meal. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. After sitting down, I had to use the restroom. BIG mistake. There was feces all over the bathroom floor, on the sink area, and even on the door handle. This wasn't just a small mess--it was a significant amount of solid feces throughout the bathroom. When I returned to my table, I noticed that feces had also gotten onto the rug near the front/register area, where I was sitting. I immediately informed my waitress, who then notified the front desk. Eventually, someone came to clean it up. At that point, I had completely lost my appetite. After an experience like that, you would think management would come over, apologize, and offer to refund the meal since I was no longer able to eat. Instead, I was simply given a senior discount. That was extremely disappointing. I will say that my waitress was very kind and showed genuine empathy. She brought me a warm, soapy towel so I could clean my hands and even clean the bottom of my shoe. I truly appreciated her compassion because she was the only person who seemed to understand how upsetting the situation was. What disappointed me most was that the manager never came over to apologize or even acknowledge what had happened. I understand that accidents happen, but the way a restaurant handles an extremely unsanitary situation says a lot about its customer service. Unfortunately, this experience completely ruined my appetite and my visit. I came because of the good reviews, but after this experience, I would think twice about returning.

    Great food, lots of choices. Nice staff. Just wish you were open all day. Sometimes later in the…read moreday, we feel like going to dinner, but we can't cuz you close at 2 or 3. Not cool!
