    Good food! We were happy with our meals and our server. Served quick so we could get to playing some arcade games. The facility was pretty clean and the remodel was very nice.

    It's shocking to me how much better the service is here when you sit at the bar. My friend and I had a great time! Service was friendly & quick, whereas when I sit in the dining area, it's super slow. The bartenders were absolutely amazing! Food was great as always, and I never leave without craving more of the chicken parm pasta. We also walked away with lots of tickets and high-valued prizes!

    I saw on the news recently that this place completed some renovations and improved the menu and food. I took my sister here yesterday, and I can confirm the improvements of the space and the food. The dining room has two massive TV's and the bar area is surrounded by TV's, so there is a serious sports bar vibe. My sister enjoyed her smashburger sliders, and I really enjoyed the Crispy Chicken sandwich with honey mango mustard! The fries were really good, too. The game room is the game room. I thought it was good before, and I still think it's good. I will add the my interactions with staff to get a receipt reprinted for the gaming and food deal, getting order placed, reporting a game that wasn't working, and redeeming point in the prize shop were all very positive. It really feels like everyone is trying to provide a positive experience for the customers, and I would go back again.

    Overall the play and drink part were great. However we were annoyed by the service. We were seated at the bar and it took us so long to even get noticed. Then it took so long for the waitress to even take our order. Once she took the order she didn't give us our drinks and then didn't give a fork. We asked her kindly and she never gave us one so we had to ask someone else. We also had to ask again for our drinks that came part of the combo we ordered. The drinks were great though! The food was okay..

    We had a reservation through OpenTable but they said I wasn't on the list. I showed my email confirmation, but they said you aren't on the list. We were 15 mins early so we prepared to wait anyways and we were told 20-25 minute wait. 40ish minutes I went up the host to ask about the wait time and he sat me (so I wonder how long we would have waited if I didn't say anything). We were helped fairly quickly and food came fast. Our server Nicole was so sweet and worked hard. The person who delivered our food said zero words and took off immediately. Food was decent, the kids had fun with the games. I doubt we will come again.

    I think this place is now called the waddle inn? I'm reviewing it here though since that's where…read moremost of the activity is... I came here to watch a game with some friends on a snowy night. It was pretty quiet when we got there around 5 but picked up as the night went on The decor...first thing in noticed is there isn't too much sports memorabilia on the walls. People have commented on that and I'm torn..the walls do look a little bare but overall its a nice clean look that eliminates that kind of junky look sports bars some times take on. TVs..lots of them! Its easy to watch a game here and the high top tables and chairs were very comfy...bar seats looked similar. We got appetizers to share at the table..fried pickles (whole picke spears!), quesadillas, and wings. The wings came eith with both blue cheese and ranch that were very good and lots of carrots and celery. All the apps were decent but wings were my favorite. They had a happy hour special (I think $2 off most drinks?) They had a decent amount of NA drinks and I had an athletic IPA and Heineken 0. Our server was the nicest girl and she got us our food super quick and accommodated all our requests. Another great perk is the parking lot in the back! North Ave can be busy for parking alot of times Final result - im a fan! Great game watching spot in east Tosa.

    Second time is not a charm…read more Round one Popped into Growlers late with my sister after a late flight while visiting. It's close to my second home, and I wanted to check it out. I asked what time the kitchen closed--got a flat "10" from the bartender. It was almost 11, so fine. Then I asked about their Bloody Mary mix. Instead of a simple answer, he launched into some condescending monologue about how they make their own, but only for the daytime crowd--when people "actually drink Bloodies." Cool, thanks for the attitude. It was clear pretty fast that this guy had no interest in being remotely welcoming. I pivoted and ordered the Lambeau Leap Mule. Turns out they were out of melon liqueur--whatever, it happens--but instead of offering literally any substitute (ever heard of schnapps?), he just dropped the other ingredients on the bar and walked away. No comment. No effort. Then, because this trainwreck wasn't done, he got into a heated scheduling argument with his younger coworker right in front of us. Completely unprofessional and incredibly awkward. I mentioned we might leave, and he scoffed. Like we were the problem. Round Two, better than the first but still mediocre at best. I am relatively certain this was a different person but the vibes were the same, think hipstery gatekeeping bartender meets bare minimum effort. Unsure if I will try again.

I had heard they have some of the best fried cheese curds in town and this turned out to be absolutely true. Their cheese curds are tied in my top three. New to town or visiting and want legit curds? This is your spot. They're more of a sports bar but do have some cocktails on their menu. I got their Manhattan which was decent. I asked for it served up and they accommodated but it wasn't chilled first (ie: I like my Manhattan neat but stirred with ice first and strained). So, I'd likely just go ahead and get it iced here. Just a note in case anyone out there has similar tastes. The service was great and the atmosphere was lively. It was too early in the season for patio dining but I am looking forward to coming back in the warmer season as they have a nice, large, sunshiny patio. Get to it!

He came to our table and was immediately irate. "I'll take the charge off your bill tonight, but never again. If you don't want to pay it, find another bar!" I never complained loudly or raised my voice so I was shocked by his angry attitude. I explained I had done some research and learned that a service charge is legal when using a CREDIT card, but is NOT when using a DEBIT card. I thought Sluggo's had been a friendly place, but I learned differently tonight. I'm confident I was right, but I realize customers are not always right. However, customers should ALWAYS be treated better and more professionally and graciously than what I experienced.
