Ambience - pit BBQ vibes with concrete floors and spacious industrial warehouse feel. Servers and hostess were super friendly. Food - Cornbread - we received some complimentary cornbread, which were cut into small squares. Served cold. 3/5 Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese - the promise of smoked Gouda had my hopes up, but the flavor was lacking 3/5 St Louis Ribs - I asked for ribs with Memphis style dry rub. The flavor was fantastic, but could have been a little more tender. Still, a really good rib. 4/5 Brisket - I was offered Lean, Regular or Fatty. I asked for fatty and received two slices which were half fat. Makes me wonder what I would have gotten if I ordered "Fatty". Regardless,the brisket was a little underseasoned. Fried Clam Strips - the order came out overcooked and burned. The server was nice enough to get a new one for me. 4/5

In town from Maryland and found this place with rave wing reviews. We had to check it out and so…read moreglad we did! It looks like a hole in the wall bar, and maybe it is, but as soon as we stepped in we were immediately greater warmly by the bartender and told to have a seat. Sorry I didn't get his name, but he was incredible, obviously pinging us as out of towners, but treating us kindly, even offering table service as they weren't busy. We ordered drinks which he brought immediately and let us look over the menu. He came back and took our order , all the while conversing with us and other patrons , clearly regulars. Kitchen staff brought out our food and it was hot and delicious! My wings were cooked perfectly, had a mix of flats and drums and were sauced very well (mild). My son got a quesadilla and it was dripping with melted cheese and he said it was one of the best he's ever had. My husband got pierogis and cheese curds and raved about the flavor. The bill came and since it was happy hour, we were very pleasantly surprised with how affordable dinner was for the three of us. We had a wonderful meal and experience and would definitely be back if we are ever in the area again.

It's your basic sports bar definitely more than enough TV's to cover whatever sport you'd want to watch. We ordered pretzel bites with beer cheese the pretzels were very salty but warm and in my opinion better without the cheese it definitely is more like nacho cheese rather than beer cheese but it's not bad just nothing to write home about. I got the Caprese Fried Chicken sandwich and it was pretty good and the fries in my opinion are the real show stopper crispy but not burnt the perfect fry homemade I believe too. My girlfriend got the Chicken Philly in a wrap and she enjoyed it. We had a new server training with Julianna and he was great very attentive asked if I wanted a refill when my drink was gone. Which as a customer tells me you care and you're paying attention. We were in and hour in a little over an hour. I would definitely return if in the downtown area!

The Texas toast on the cheeseburger was crispy, perfectly browned, and added a great texture. The Buffalo Grilled Chicken Sandwich was loaded with two whole chicken breasts, and the chicken was incredibly tender and flavorful. The Pizza Frite was good, although it was a little tough. That may have happened during delivery, so I'd definitely be interested in trying it fresh in-house. Overall, it was a really good experience. This place is always packed whenever I drive by, so I was happy to find out they offer delivery. Now I understand why they're always busy!

My boyfriend has been telling me about this place for a while now and about how they have the best…read morechicken wings he's ever had. And here's the thing... I'm not a huge fan of chicken wings, but guys... Guys... GUUUUUUYS. The chicken wings here are legit DELICIOUS. The vibe of the restaurant is just chill and relaxed. It's clean, the service is great (the server took care of drink refills without us asking, checked back with us regularly & in a timely manner, and brought the items from our order out as they were ready), and the price point is great for what you get as well. We ordered 4 different kinds of wings - Cajun, Black Cherry Pepper BBQ, Carolina Gold (the star of the show), and Hot Honey Garlic. I'm a bit of a lightweight when it comes to heat, so I didn't try the Cajun... but I loved the bit of fruit flavor from the black cherry wings, and really enjoyed the bit of spice from the hot honey. Those Carolina Gold wings though... I would come back again and again for those alone. Consider me a chicken wing convert, I guess! ALSO... I almost forgot that we have the buffalo chicken eggrolls as an appetizer. Perfectly crunchy outer eggroll with delicious buffalo chicken inside. I'm not a bleu cheese gal (blasphemy with buffalo chicken, but I don't care), and the server brought a little side of ranch out for us to dip our eggrolls in. *chef's kiss* TL;DR GO. FOR. THE WINGS. Seriously... you're missing out if you don't. Get a bunch of flavors, share with friends (or eat them yourself - I won't judge), and wallow in the sauce-y goodness.

Fried cheese curds and fried pickles...if that's all we ordered we were already hooked! Then our wings came!!! Pry the sauces out of my hands, I had it on my face, up my arms, the wings were exactly what you beg for anywhere else!!
