The gravy and eggs were pretty standard but hashbrowns were under seasoned. We like our coffee pretty strong so unfortunately coffee was a little too weak. Overall a good dining experience-definitely gives you small town diner vibes and staff was busy but friendly. The bathrooms were pretty dusty and could have used a thorough cleaning. We didn't get a chance to try the pie but it looked delicious!

We all enjoyed the food, the waitress was very sweet and the restaurant was not crazy busy. We could hear each other quite well. I'm pretty sure they use MSG on their food because I'm allergic and had a reaction (not anaphylaxis level) so I'm not sure we would be back without checking the menu more carefully but it was all very tasty.

About 30 of us descended upon Neisen's on a Sunday afternoon after a car cruise, and they handled…read morethe large crowd without problem (we had called ahead). The restaurant is big, so they had plenty of room set aside for our group, and two servers were all it took to attend to our orders for drinks and food. Staff were very pleasant and efficient. Food is what you'd expect for a sports bar, just basic good food without pretense. If you're looking for a gastronomic experience, you're in the wrong place. Here you get beer, drinks, hot food, pool tables, and sports on tv's. My son had the Reuben sandwich and said it was one of the better ones he's had. I had bacon cheeseburger and had no complaints. The waffle fries as an upgrade were worth the slight price add-on.

Lots of drinks options including a sizable wine line and tap beers. We ordered the roasted Brussels to start and they disappeared quickly. Everyone found something different on the menu. I ordered the Caramel Apple Salad with grilled chicken and it was delicious. This was a fun twist on a traditional apple salad. My husband ordered the Chimichurri Bowl with grilled chicken and really liked it. Everyone at the table finished their plates because it was delicious and the portions were perfect. We finished their night with a crème brûlée and it was the perfect ending to our meal. Service was flawless and the overall ambiance was lively but we could easily carry on our own private conversation. I can't wait to go back as there was so much more on the menu I want to try.

We tried the caramel roll, of course, an orange cranberry scone, and a sausage quiche. The quiche was great. The scone was soft and tasty.
