    Pizza. Custom with pepperoni, green olives, and jalapeños. Very good.
    John B.

    Apparently, it's hard to find a great restaurant in this area. We went with the highest rating that I saw. Service was good. The pizza was really good. The only drawback about this restaurant is the smokiness of cigarettes. I gave it four stars because of the food. If it wasn't the smoke smell, I would've given it five stars.

    Bacon and Bleu Cheese Burger with Fries

    This is a smoking bar, so don't go in if you aren't okay with that. The bar was well ventilated and we didn't notice until we saw people smoking that the bar as smoking friendly. They do have an outdoor patio if the smoke bother you. All of the food items looked to be fresh made at the bar, chicken says to be breaded on location but we didn't try it yet. The staff was friendly and the food had great presentation. We both ordered burgers and we felt the burger itself could use more flavor, it was mediocre. I wanted their sweet potato fries but they no longer serve them so I as bummed. I had a bleu cheese burger and the bleu cheese dominated the flavor. My husband felt his burger lacked flavor overall. We had the deep fried pepper jack bites for an appetizer and I felt those were good. We plan to go back to try the chicken and give the burgers another try. The prices here are RIGHT ON.

    It's not much to look interior wise but the wings and fried mushrooms were awesome!! I would make this a date night meal place!

    Some of the best bar food in town. This is a smoking establishment, but there is also a really nice patio to eat on.

It's decent-sized once you get in, plus they have an extra party room. We went there on my birthday, which was kind of a letdown. My friend ordered the corned beef and cabbage, which I also ordered. But the waitress talked me out of it and told me I should order the enchiladas so I could share. So I did, but I told her absolutely no onions because I am allergic to them. I started eating my enchilada and pulled out a huge onion and then like ten more. After pulling out all the onions I couldn't eat, there was barely any meat, so I was basically eating tortilla in sauce. I told our waitress and she apologized and told me that she told the cook no onions. I told her not to worry about it. My friend's corned beef and cabbage was good. The corned beef was a huge portion and cooked perfectly, but the cabbage was a little overcooked. Our waitress was very nice, but did not offer to take my meal off the bill, so I paid for something that could have harmed me. For $38, I was really hoping for a better experience and food, but I am willing to give it another try someday because they have such a huge menu. Next time, I think I will try their biscuits and gravy.

I was confused that the sauce options were not on the menu. However the kind bartender gave me an 8 pack of sauces to try. I found that the Carolina mustard sauce was my favorite. Very mild in spice. The consistency was also thin so it had trouble sticking to the wing. A slight mustard taste that accented the crispy fried skins nicely. This order had 10 nicely sized wings. The wing was was cooked perfectly - no pink on the inside. The skin was nicely crisp without being crunchy. Extra crispy wings have never been my favorite. However, Rack & Hellen's did an incredible job with these wings! I loved the onions rings. A large-thick piece of onion with a thick batter. The batter was moderately crispy but a bit oily to taste. Definitely recommend! The mac salad was very good. They use a larger shell along with egg and possibly onion. The mayo is pretty heavy. However the dish was pretty tasty! On this occasion I sat at the bar. The place was busy. There were plenty of servers hustling and helping each other. The bartenders were very kind and friendly. I was pleased that the food came out rather quickly!

    I have never heard of these Navy Clubs that are spread out all across America. I guess that is…read morebecause I was never in the Navy, or any of the maritime services. Being that it is a private club probably explains the smoke filled dining room. We ordered a pizza. It was next to impossible to find a menu anywhere on the internet. What little information we could find indicated they had 10 and 14 inch pizzas. We ordered a 14 inch supreme pizza. It was made by Betty. She was really nice and took our order. It would be ready in about 30 minutes. "Did you want anything else" she asked. Well I don't know. Without a menu, I had no idea what else I could get for carry out. We arrived at the appointed time. We had to get buzzed in to get past the front door lock. The pizza was excellent. Ingredients were spread across evenly, and I-kid-you-not, were an inch high. I am not sure how Betty did it, but the crust was crispy, and the ingredients were done and the cheese melted. Kind of like the pizza TRI-FECTA! Since we were not members it was carry out which was just fine. Nice sturdy box. We ate it at the motel and made everybody else jealous who walked in or out during the next 45 minutes. Only think I missed was a packet of dry red pepper flakes. We couldn't eat anywhere all of the 14 inch I ordered. Packed it in to the cooler. This morning I stripped a couple of the pieces of their toppings, warmed it up in a skillet, then added some eggs for scrambling. No complaints from my dear wife. Tonight I think I will use the toppings to make an enchilada stuffing. Maybe cut the crust into strips and warm them up in a toaster and dip them in cheese sauce. Oh. For the pizza purists out there, the pizza is cut into squares. I am used to that, having grown up in Pizza King land, but I have had some easterners have a conniption fit. It is bothers you, I'll bet Betty would cut it into wedges. Siskel and Ebert--Two thumbs up!

    I stopped in there because I've seen all the great pizza reviews. I also saw where people said…read morethat you didn't need to be a member to dine there. Well...I made it in the door, buzzed in and sat down. The bartender told me I needed to leave since I wasn't a member. It was club night...whatever that means. Maybe I will research if I need a membership and try again if I do not. Otherwise the patrons there were very kind. Not so friendly to a person who didn't belong there on that night. The place is very dated and had an older decor and smell. It was pretty clean.

What I really admitted about this place is the owner walking around communicating with everyone and checking to see if everything was going ok!! She was really sweet. Also shoutout to our server Noah who was awesome and funny. Not only was he gents or he also recommended! For it to be a carpeted space, it was very clean on the inside and smelled really fresh. The smell of food hit me before I even got inside. The seats were comfortable and they even had bar searing as well as an event space room. The food really deserves its own review but I can't leave two . Everything I would get again no questions asked! My only suggestion would be maybe add a tad of seasoning to the wings but the smoke flavor and sauce was too tier! Easy 10/10 for me!
