[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great ambience and solid Happy Hour Specials.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I thought the Sweet Thai Wings were really good but thought the Nashville Chicken Sandwich was average at best. The bun a was a bit stale and there wasn't much of a Nashville Hot flavor to the sandwich itself. The truffle fries and truffle ranch were both really good though. Great service from the bar area. read more

When friends were over, we spontaneously decided to visit The Shops at Wiregrass--the women went shopping while the men grabbed drinks. After considering several spots, we chose Chuck Lager America's Tavern for its atmosphere and drinks plus food. Upon entering, we were greeted warmly at the register and quickly seated in the outdoor area. Our server, AJ, was fantastic--he was knowledgeable about the menu and gave excellent recommendations for both drinks and food. We started with a variety of drinks, including: Old Fashioned,Motorworks Midnight Rush Coffee Cake Porter,Moscow Mule,Gin Lemonade,Mai Tai To go with our drinks, we ordered Truffle Fries, which became the highlight of the night--so much so that we ended up ordering four more servings because everyone loved them! Once our better halves joined us, we repeated some of our drink orders and added: Espresso Martini and Yuengling .For food, we ordered: Chips & Guacamole,Mushroom Flatbread,Margherita Flatbread Everything was served hot and fresh, and we thoroughly enjoyed both the food and drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Chuck Lager America's Tavern provided us with a memorable Sunday evening--great drinks, delicious food, a lively ambiance, and top-notch service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nothing negative to say about this restaurant. Conveniently tucked into a residential area, this restaurant is definitely a gem.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A few locals from the neighborhood Are basically always at the bar. Traditional American food, but taken up a notch. Probably some of the best spinach dip you'll have in a long time. Yummy burger sliders. The truffle fries are so good even cold out of the fridge the next day. Served with an absolutely addictive truffle garlic ranch that I've been thinking about for days. The winner was the crab Rangoon dip. Loaded up on crab and served with a fried wonton skin- so good. Cute cocktail menu. I felt like they were light on staff but service was still quick and friendly. read more

Came here to have just apps and a drink, and let me tell you that the apps are beyond good. The Pretzel, Artichoke Dip, and the Chicken Sliders are a must in my opinion. The Old Fashioned drink I ordered was made the right way. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat at the bar area and it was pretty quite for a Wednesday evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am looking forward to coming here again and trying out the rest of their food menu. read more

What a huge difference their upgrades have made! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We decided to try this place again as we had our pup with us and we wanted to sit outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their menu has changed and is so much better! We started with deviled eggs which were amazing. I highly recommend the espresso martini as well! We both had steaks and were very happy on how well they were cooked. I had mine with salad and was very happy. We will definitely be back again!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great vibes, really casual, and nice servers![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] To escape the heat and address our hunger, we sought refuge here. The chips and guacamole were bangin' because of the blue corn chips. The vehicle for the guacamole is very important. Cobb salad: all of the toppings were great, the iceberg seemed a bit flat. I would give it 3/5. I also did not have dressing bc I'm not a fan of salad dressing. I feel like if I did have dressing, it likely would've made the lettuce a bit soggy. read more

As a self-proclaimed veggie enthusiast in a meat-centric world, finding a restaurant that caters to my dietary needs can be a challenge. But fear not, fellow herbivores, because Chuck Lager's America's Tavern came through like a veggie superhero in the night! Sure, their menu may not scream "vegan paradise," and the veggie options may be as rare as a unicorn sighting, but when I explained my strict dietary needs, they didn't just nod and shrug--garlic.they rose to the occasion with a veggie-filled pasta dish that left me speechless (well, almost, because I couldn't stop raving about it). Picture this: a medley of vibrant broccolini, shrooms, asparagus, tomatoes, brussels, and perfectly cooked cavatappi, all tossed in a heavenly blend of EVOO and garlic. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, a testament to Chuck Lager's culinary prowess and dedication to customer satisfaction. But wait, the goodness doesn't stop there! Let's talk about their patio - oh, sweet patio heaven! Nestled in the heart of Wesley Chapel, Chuck Lager's patio is the stuff of dreams.

Cruising around Wesley Chapel area and decided to try a different restaurant. We popped into Chuck Lager for lunch. The restaurant was pretty empty so we were seated immediately. Service was decent. The food was average bar fare. Good but nothing amazing. Would we go back? Yes, but there are lots of options in this area to try. read more

The fish tacos were amazing! You get three and my husband was like, "I can't eat all of these" , but somehow he did! I had the margarita flatbread which was delicious as well. The service was great and [[HIGHLIGHT]]for a sports bar, it was actually very enjoyable because the TVs were not very loud, nor was the music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would highly recommend this place for lunch. read more

Chose to eat here since I was feeling indecisive and their menu offers a good variety of options. Plenty of seating available and we were seated right away. Ended up going with the deviled eggs and bacon jam sliders, both of which I enjoyed. My friend went with the buffalo chicken sliders and he was satisfied with those well, although he came hungry so his main regret was not ordering more. Plenty of cocktail and beer options, and they like to branch out a little from your typical mixes (they have an espresso martini made with bourbon, I'll try that next time I come). Overall, it's another solid spot in the area read more

We have been to this restaurant before and it is always very good food! We went for my birthday yesterday early afternoon. It was not as crowded as the other times we we there. Our waitress, Olivia was very attentive and very nice. Lots of tv's and different drinks. Pleasant atmosphere. The food was very very good. I had the chicken and the flavor was great and the chicken was moist not dry at all. The sautéed spinach and potatoes also very good. One of the best sit down meals we had out lately. A little pricey but portions are large! Check it out and you won't be disappointed! read more

Enjoyed the happy hour menu and great selection of beers. The food was hot and tasty. Staff were attentive and helpful.

Used this location as a half way point to meet our cousin that lives in Ocala. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was very accommodating and quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The server Dillon was impeccable. The Poke bowl was delicious, I didn't like the black rice, but that was my preference. My husband had a chicken sandwich and our cousin had the chicken Marsala both enjoyed it. Now that we know this place is there we will be going back. read more

I selected this restaurant while staying nearby. I went specifically for the the Smoked Brisket Grilled Cheese. It had American cheese and house-smoked brisket. It came with a cup of tomato bisque on the side. I also had a glass of Heavy Lifter Scotch Ale. I was disappointed; the sandwich including the cheese was dry and the soup was barely warm. The server was pleasant and attentive. read more

Meet friends to try chuck lager and was greeted by friendly staff. This rating is solely for staff. The bar tender was prompt and allowed me to order a happy hour drink 2 minutes before happy hour ended. The host knew I had made a reservation but the rest of the party was running late yet still honored us seating options. Very nice. Now to the food. It was very average and underwhelming. Nothing special to make us want to come back and eat. Amber was super nice and accommodating. I would recommend coming for happy hour and sitting outside. Nice patio area. read more

Happy hour at chuck lager was a good choice. Our server was always checking on the table and the overall restaurant has the pub feel. My chuck sidecar was great for half the price (4-6pm). I loved the pretzel with the beer cheese sauce. The meatballs were good and we also had truffle fries which was great. I wouldn't get the sliders. Nothing special there. Decent menu for happy hour if you find yourself in the mall. read more

Our food was incredibly salty. From the soup to the sandwich. Just too much salt. Service was awesome!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated at high top table near the bar, and the bartender was our waitress.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bar was filling up, so she really didn't have time to pay attention to us. It took a long time to order, and to get a second drink. I don't think it was her fault, she just got busy and there wasn't anyone around to help her. I don't recall seeing any managers around. When we got our food, it was lukewarm. I got the burria quesadilla (which tasted nothing like burria), and my friend ordered a salad. It was absolutely huge, but everything in it was cut weirdly. She said it was meh. Overall, this is my second visit and I was even less impressed this time than the first time. I was hoping the first time was a fluke but after this visit, I will not be back. read more

Old review disappeared but after my recent visit I was reminded once again, why I love chuck lagers. It's consistently good and I always leave happy. Ambience - it's a standard American restaurant , very spacious inside , not too bright so it's the perfect lighting for a good time. Service - excellent the staff is well trained and handle their customers well. Grilled brisket cheese - Perfect grilled cheese , the only miss might be the small amount of brisket inside but the tomato bisque kept each bite interesting. Love the contrast of salty richness and tart tomato soup. Would visit again read more

The burger was well done and I had ordered medium rare. I sent it back and the second burger was also well done. I ate it but never again.

I'm usually a huge enthusiast for restaurants and I look for the good atmosphere and aesthetic pictures, I'm a sucker for it actually. Hence the photo of my drink below: Believe it or not, it was a decent drink. Only $12, looked pretty enough (minus the rotten basil). But after I started drinking more I realized that the cup looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a week. There were clear, visible red lip stick marks, and smudge all in the inside of the glass. I would have said something, but after we got seated outside we never seen another waitress/waiter. During my wait for the server to remember we were there, I noticed how dirty everything else was. The menus had spaghetti stains, the tables weren't wiped, everything was just clearly unkept. At that point, I lost my appetite. Why would I want to eat off of your plates when you don't even wipe your cups or menus? So instead of begging to spend money at a dirty restaurant, we left our bar tab and a $5 tip, left, and went across the street to the grocery store. I'll be fair and leave 2 stars, because the bartender was nice and the drink was pretty. But 0/10 for cleanliness and 0/10 for customer service. read more

Love this place! Chuck Lager's at Wiregrass has turned into our go to for weekends...the drinks and food are always great....it's rare to find a place that always gets it right when it comes to food/drinks/service and we have never had an issue here....everything is always spot on! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's also great that they have a large outside area, so for anyone interested in sitting outside, they have a great area for it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We did not have brunch, but from what I did see going by, it looks great! If I was a brunch person, this would definitely be a must try for me! read more

My experience here wasn't terrible, but also wasn't amazing either. Came on a weekend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was fairly crowded, but we still got set right away[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], but when it came to the food, they were out of a lot of things, so I ended up getting a bowl, but it had very little flavor. I actually ended up bringing it home to spice up with a little lime and extra fresh ingredients to really bring out the taste. The burgers were big, but also we're not amazing. The customer service was OK, but not a lot of smiles and that really is the first impression. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I would give this another try, but I would also like to see some changes and how welcoming the environment is[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This restaurant sits in the old Prime Bar location and I must say that I really miss the previous establishment after visiting Chuck Lager. They do have a nice outdoor bar area and the happy hour specials are decent. I just feel like there is more that could be done to make customers flock here. Better specials and more exciting menu items to start. Maybe a $5-$7-$9 happy hour menu and more consistent menu prices. Burgers, flatbreads and entrees are pretty pricey. Service was all over the place as it seemed the outside bartender spent a lot of time inside as well. Not sure why since there is a bar staff inside. But our bartender was really nice and I totally understand that she may have been overwhelmed for whatever reason. If you're going to visit, I would say get the brisket grilled cheese. It was really tasty and came with some very delicious tomato bisque. If I go back, I will probably try a burger. Just not blown away on this particular visit. read more

For a restaurant to get my accolades, it must step up in all categories. Chuck Lager American Tavern did not do so. As we entered, there were no hosts. Wife and I stood there for a few minutes wondering if we should just grab a table ourselves. Eventually, someone showed up. I had the Asian Shrimp tacos. Wife had a burger. She enjoyed her meal. I enjoyed mine. Our server was fantastic. She had drink refills at our table before we could finish what we had. I noted a spill on the floor near a table next to us. There was no effort to clean it up. A party of 4 refused to sit there because of it. Finally, the restaurant adds 3% to your bill if you use a credit card. I find that to be outrageous. That petty nickel and dimming needs to stop. I won't likely return to this place. The lack of attention to detail is obvious. read more

We love this place! The Deviled eggs were out before I could even check-in with Yelp! They were delicious as usual. I ordered the Bianco flatbread pizza. They replaced the sundried tomatoes for mushrooms with no problem. The service was super speedy and AJ was super nice and friendly. The restaurant has a bar-like atmosphere, so it's a bit loud, but very nice inside. read more

This was our first time and would definitely return when in the area. We were a party of 7 and were seated immediately, probably because it was 2 and in between meal times. Our server came right away to take drink orders. We ordered a couple appetizers, crab dip and giant pretzels. Shortly after appetizers arrived our meal order was taken, timed perfectly so as not to get everything at one time. When our meals arrived everything was perfect. I had the black and blue burger, ordered medium rare and it came out perfectly! My husband had the brisket grilled cheese and loved it! I requested that the TV next to us have channel changed so I could watch my teams game, I was accommodated (bummer my team lost!) [[HIGHLIGHT]]as we were visiting with family we hung out well after our meal was finished and were not pressured to get up and leave.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restrooms were clean, noise levels good enough to have conversations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff very friendly. read more

This place is amazing, probably the best Philly I have ever had. 5+ stars The nachos were on point. My hubby got the fish n chips and it was delicious. I tried talking my husband into leaving because I am not a fan of bar food and the hostess had a total RBF but I am so glad he didn't cave! This is NOT BAR FOOD! This is quality crafted deliciousness!!! Jazz was our waitress and she recommended top items and her personality added to the whole experience. We will be coming back!!!! read more

Came here to celebrate a birthday with a party of seven. We had reservations on an early Saturday evening, it wasn't very busy and we were seated quickly. Our server was prompt and attentive, and we enjoyed the food, drinks, and atmosphere very much. Lots of large TVs for those who enjoy enjoy watching sports. I tried two appetizers...the deviled eggs with pork belly and tomato jam, and the smoked fish dip with tortilla chips, pita bread, and wontons, and both were very good. If tacos are on the menu, that's probably what I'm gonna get. They had three options, and it was difficult to choose from them, but went with the Carnitas. The tacos were good, full of meat and topped with pickled onions. I would have liked some lettuce or cabbage slaw, but they were still good. The Asian shrimp Street tacos were ordered by another person in our party, and I was told they were also very good. I am also a fan of chicken marsala, which was ordered by someone else in our party, and they really enjoyed it. The birthday girl received a free dessert, and another dessert was ordered, the ice cream sandwich made with a donut and vanilla bean ice cream and bourbon custard. I didn't take the opportunity to try myself, but it looked really good and I was told it was delicious. They also have chicken Parmesan on the menu, which looked really good and is my son's favorite, so I should be coming back again very soon! read more

We really enjoyed this place. I seen on yelp they do brunch earlier in the day. But We went at 9:30pm. They stay open until 11pm on Saturday's which was great for us. Our server Spencer was awesome from start to finish. He suggested a few things when we asked and he didn't miss a beat. Service was great! Thank you :) I got the wedge salad and I loved the truffle ranch dressing combined with the pickled onions. It was a different take on a wedge salad from my experience but I liked it. I also had the Sweet Thai chili wings from the appetizers and they did not disappoint. He mentioned them being soaked for 8hrs & then smoked for two. Wings can be hit or miss but these were a hit! My husband got the meat lovers flatbread. He really liked the meatballs. No complaints. He ordered the truffle fries to try and he's glad he did. My sister got the buffalo smoked wings and she loves hers too. I tried them. They were good of course but I think Sweet Thai is the way to go. Oh! Can't forget. I got the cotton candy martini & I actually drank the whole thing. It wasn't the cotton candy flavor I was expecting but still good. Overall we enjoyed our experience here. read more

The $12 brisket grilled cheese + tomato soup is worth coming for, but everything else I tried was bad. I tried the $7 HH meatballs and they were acceptable. The $9 brussel sprouts were flavorless and the pork belly added was straight fat. There was zero crunch to the brussel sprouts. I didn't even end up eating all of it and I love brussels. I tried a $9 Kentucky Passion. Not my thing it was like drinking sugary lemonade. The beer was standard. The bar is huge and there are a bunch of TVs to watch sports. The bartenders are friendly and did a great job. Come here for a grilled cheese brisket + tomato soup and a beer, not anything else. read more
