I don't drink alcohol but the bartender was extremely nice and made me a virgin drink that tasted amazing!! Most everyone in the bar were locals and regulars and knew we were from out of town. It was karaoke night and after much convincing my friend got me to sing two songs. It was the most fun I've had in a while. The staff were so friendly to us as well as the locals. Plan on returning.

Let me begin by saying the Trap is NOT a place for everyone. In fact, I believe it is a place…read morewhere very few people would actually be comfortable. It defined the term "den of iniquity" in my mind. But all the same, I tend to love it there. A few notes on why I love the Trap. 1. It's cash only, paid up front. So if things get sketchy, you just walk away. Which is probably going to happen sometimes. 2. You won't be the drunkest person there. Just trust me on this one, you won't be. 3. Overt profanity in every way; every single way. 4. A decent group of regulars who keep things interesting. 4. Bartenders that won't steal from you. Unless you turn your head, then they will rob you blind; but who turns their head at a place like this. 5. A post apocalyptic outdoor area that you can smoke just about anything in. 6. Bikers (see #1) 7. $1.50 beers during the day If the above sound like something you just have to see for yourself, then I highly recommend it. If you have ever gone to Applebee's on your own volition, I'd plan to stay as far away as you can.

I'm pretty sure that she shared our sentiments with the staff, but nobody came to our table to address the matter. We will not be going back. EVER.

It tasted super sweet and fruity as if it was mixed with Pixie Stick sugar. I had to eat the fish without the tartar sauce because it was inedible in my opinion. The dinner roll was also tiny. The dining room is super congested with the tables way too close to one another. I couldn't stand up to put my coat on without accidentally hitting the person at the table next to mine. Overall, nothing to write home about!

The sign by the road touts "Sandwiches and Spirits." Exactly what I was looking for (that and a…read moreplace that wouldn't mind my arriving in slightly soiled hunting clothes), so I pulled in. Very clean inside with friendly service and a tap beer selection that's basic but probably has something to suit most folks. I went for the Stone IPA. I ordered a turkey reuben. The sandwich was a little light on meat and a little heavy on some too--creamy coleslaw. The bread stayed crisp at least, and wasn't overly greasy. Good enough for a pit stop, and a nice laid back alternative to Birch Run's chain restaurant offerings over toward the outlet mall.

Unfortunately, this wasn't great. I always want to see small local joints do well ( I am a huge fan…read moreof local hangouts) but in this case there just wasn't a whole lot that stood out. The positive was the staff the Bartender/Waiter was very sweet and nice tried to make everything just right. The restaurant itself is very clean and I bet the outside is amazing during warmer months. This was Veterans Day weekend and they did get quite busy so the time it took to get our food was very long but I had good company so it was fine. However the food was just lacking it looked quite appetizing but just lacked any flavor. The olive burger was very bland and my burger was dry and charred, my sister had a Reuben and although I do consider her a Reuben snob, she is picky, but I agreed with her the meat was very dry. My husband had the Rodeo burger which he enjoyed but said it wasn't worth the price. We visit this area all the time since I have family there, but I'm not sure I would give this place another shot if given the chance.

Many folks around town have raved about this little restaurant bar so we gave it a shot. Service…read moreupon entering was welcoming, many open tables and lots of seating options. The bar was quiet, calm, dark and cold but seemed like a chill vibe. Our waitress was okay, service was quick and she did her job well but didn't smile and wasn't very talkative or seemingly friendly. We asked what her favorite appetizers were and we ordered the Loaded Potato Balls based on her recommendation - they were great! 10/10! Loaded with flavor, very moist and served with 3 sauces - ranch, spicy ranch and sour cream. The ranch and spicy ranch were not great - tastes like they're bottled not homemade. The sour cream though, that was a good compliment. We both ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich - 10/10! They're hand breaded, juicy and tender chicken breasts topped with lettuce, tomato and mayo on a perfectly warm brioche bun. Our meal was served so hot, it was perfect. I would absolutely go back just for this sandwich! The homemade chips for the side were great, crispy and lightly seasoned. I had the tater tots with mine and they tasted freezer burnt, wouldn't get them again. We also had a side of their house made coleslaw and it was perfect, ice cold and a great balance of flavor. Draft beer wasn't super cold - it would be better served in a frosted glass. Overall- it's good, we'd come again! Next time we'd sit at the bar top as the bartenders seemed to enjoy more casual conversation and friendly vibes with their customers.

I went to this Buffalo Wild Wings after a gymnastics competition on a Saturday night; it was around…read more8 PM. It was quite busy, and they informed us that there would be around a 25-minute wait, but the wait was much shorter--only around 5 to 10 minutes until we got seated. The waiter, Kelly, got our drinks right away. I ordered a Dr. Pepper, but little did I know that it would be my ONLY one of the night! I'll talk more about that later. When Kelly took our drink orders, we also ordered an appetizer of some mozzarella sticks. Our drinks came quickly, and my Dr. Pepper was okay--not the best I've ever had, but definitely not the worst. Kelly dropped off our drinks. It was around 15 minutes before our appetizer was brought out, and they were very good. Then around 25 minutes passed, and there was still no food or Kelly. I have no complaints about the wait time; it wasn't that long, and I understand they are busy. My issue is that Kelly never came back to check on us. By the time our food came, our drinks were empty, and Kelly didn't return until we got the bill, so we couldn't even ask for more drinks. Overall, I don't think the drink problem is Kelly's fault; I just think this establishment needs better training for its employees. The ambiance of the place is good--very clean, with TVs showing all the sports, and the bathroom was very clean. I even had a little dance party in there! It was like a RAVE !!!Overall, it was a good experience and loved the bathroom ; I just think the servers need a bit more training. I would dine here again, but keep that in mind.

It appears from the reviews that they may be hit or miss, but today was a hit for me. I would recommend it.
