    Multiple times I've been here. Food is good, I appreciate there are vegetarian options. Service is great upon walking in the door. Lively atmosphere. We came Sunday after church and unfortunately the music was so loud we had a hard time talking with one another. I'm not sure who was in charge of the music but please keep it down so patrons can enjoy themselves.

    It's New Years so the service is a bit slow. However, the staff are friendly and the food is good tasting. The atmosphere is pub like with good vibes and good music.

    The food here was good! This is a great bar to watch the game or have drinks with friends. Our bartender was quick and friendly! I ordered the steak quesadilla so good and the buffalo Mac is surprisingly good! 10/10

    June 2024: I had great service the day I came! My food was good and our waiter was great. I forgot his name. I came on this past Sunday. Please give him a raise. 9-28-25: Amari was great!

    Grouper Fingers meal
    Susan H.

    Stopped here for a Saturday afternoon lunch, and we were not disappointed! I had the Grouper Fingers with Old Bay seasoning, fries and Cole slaw. The grouper fingers were delicious with a light, crisp cracker coating seasoned with old bay. The fries had a light batter and were crispy and delicious. That Cole slaw was creamy and slightly sweet and was the perfect side. We'll be back, for sure!

    Pool tables

    We've come for dinner in the past with great experiences. My dad loves the chicken tenders! Recently we've been taking advantage of their pool tables. Always one available when we come. Tonight Casey (sp?) was very pleasant as usual. Unfortunately they were our of the Buffalo Trace that they advertise on the restroom doors but I got to try Knob Creek for the first time. Wasn't bad but probably not a repeat for me. Then the manager checked on how we were doing and informed us of free pool all day Thursdays! We'll be back for sure.

    The pretzel sticks 7/10, the queso and honey mustard were delish! Frickles (fried pickles) were a 3/10. Good flavor but very very greasy and and limp. Staff super friendly and prompt

    I am raising my ranking to 4 stars vs the 3 stars given 5 months ago when I was previously here at this location. Today, the service and greeter were much better, no cold stares or attitude I received months ago. The food was even better, went with the club sandwich and a cold soda. Very good service, good food, and good ambiance this time.

    Food is great. I love the pasta. Only had 1 bad experience here with a waitress. other than that every experience has been amazing.

    2nd attempt had it all. Thank you!

They're known for their draft beers and have a big selection to choose from. Our food came out fresh, hot, and delicious, and the drinks weren't bad either--not watered down, which is always a plus. I like getting my money's worth, and I felt like I did here. Good food, decent drinks, and a fun atmosphere. Auntie D gives this one a solid four out of five forks!

It's seat-yourself, so we had to pull a couple tables together to fit everyone. One thing to note: it was very warm inside, so I'd recommend sitting toward the back where it's more comfortable. My boys really enjoy this place, so I wanted to like it more, but the food was just okay and a bit pricey for what you get. Most items run about $14.99-$21.99, even appetizers are at entrée prices. I ordered the Carne Asada Fries appetizer ($15.99) after hearing they were "fire." The steak had good flavor, but the portion was light--fine for sharing, but not very filling. One entree, Big Dipper ($15.49), a roast beef seemed overcooked and there wasn't much meat on a large bun. Two people from the table ordered pizza. Neither ate more than 2 pieces. On the positive side, the beer selection is excellent, with plenty of options on tap and in bottles and cans--from Guinness to local IPAs. The atmosphere is also unique: plates cover the walls and ceiling from guests who've completed their beer challenge, which makes for a fun, quirky vibe you really have to see in person. Dart boards for those who want to be a bit more active. Overall, it's a great spot for beer and atmosphere, but the food and pricing didn't quite match the experience for me.

The restaurant was a ghost town on a Sunday evening. Maybe everyone is still eating Thanksgiving leftovers? Since there were 3 of us, we opted for an order of 3 tenders, 3 sliders, and 3 fry flavors. It was definitely enough for us to all share. The tenders were nice and crispy and the sweet chili sauce was good. I picked the Green Flag slider with bacon and pickles, very tasty. The little burger was cooked perfectly. For the fries we went with beer cheese and bacon, MW dusted, and Cajun. The Cajun were the best of the 3. The MW dust is a little on the sweet side which I didn't mind because I was dipping mine in the leftover sweet chili sauce. I was hoping to be able to pick tots as one of the 3 options but it was fries or tots, no mixing. I was also a little disappointed that the entrees options did not come with any sides. Since they were dead, the hostess was also our server. She was sweet. She answered all of our questions with ease. She didn't check back as much as I would have preferred for refills and the check but it wasn't a terrible wait. I think I was just ready to hit the road for the long ride home. They have a serious number of TVs for a sports bar so I'm sure if you are a football fan, you'll be able to watch your game, or better yet, a NASCAR race once the season starts back in February. Overall, decent bar food with plenty of TVs for sports spectators.

While the hostess mentioned a 15-minute wait for a booth, the bar area had open seating, so we bypassed the line and sat right down. Our server was incredibly friendly, attentive, and gave us fantastic menu recommendations. * The Food: I went with the Sam I Am Burger paired with golden, crispy tater tots. The fried egg, bacon, and melted cheese combination was absolute perfection. My mother--who hadn't eaten a burger in over a year--decided to build her own, served alongside a metal bowl of seasoned hand-cut fries, crisp lettuce, tomato, pickles, and red onion. * The Standouts: Both patties were amazingly juicy, thick, and packed with flavor. To top it off, our server brought over a lineup of dipping sauces--chipotle, aioli, and a spicy mayo-based sauce that was complete fire and elevated the sides to another level. Chef's kiss all around. Safe to say my mom was thrilled with her choice, and we'll definitely be back soon!

Other employees ended up dropping off our drinks & food. I ordered 1/3 rack of the St. Louis Style ribs. It came with two sides. I chose French fries and chips & guacamole. Chips & guacamole was considered a premium side so they charged an extra $4. It took about 20 minutes for us to get our food after we ordered.
