It was supposed to have mayo on it, but there was none. Also, lettuce and tomato would have been a nice addition to the two patties. My friend got wings, five hot and five hot garlic. The wings were a decent size, but he prefers them saucy which they were not. Service was fine. Our server checked on us the appropriate amount of times to see if we needed anything. We were there on a Wednesday and took advantage of their deals which was $1 off draft and $5 off hamburger. Everything was fine, just not amazing...but it is just bar food.

I've been to Moonshiners several times with my best friend, who actually introduced me to the bar…read more We've enjoyed the atmosphere and have had some genuinely positive interactions with the bartending staff, so it's disappointing that our most recent experience has made me question whether I want to return. Over several visits, I've noticed that certain security personnel seem to pay an unusual amount of attention to us. At first, I brushed it off. There have been instances where it felt like security was watching us closely and waiting for an opportunity to confront us. I didn't want to assume the worst, but the pattern became difficult to ignore. Last night, things escalated. We were sitting at the bar, ordered food, and took it outside to the patio. Before we went outside, security specifically reminded us to make sure we paid our tab before leaving. We did exactly that and paid our tab before we left the building. As we were walking out, the same security personnel came rushing after us insisting that we needed to pay. We explained that the tab had already been paid, but instead of simply verifying it with the bartender or checking the register, the situation escalated. My friend was physically pushed by security, and what followed became an extremely serious and dangerous confrontation. What bothers me most is that this could have been handled so easily. If there was a question about our tab, simply check the payment. There was absolutely no reason for the situation to become physical. I'm not going to label the experience as racism simply because we felt singled out, nor am I going to make an accusation of homophobia that I can't definitively prove. However, we are two gay Black men, and the repeated scrutiny and aggressive treatment from certain security personnel has made us question whether our presence is genuinely welcome. I want to emphasize that some of the bartenders have always been kind to us, which makes this even more frustrating. My issue is specifically with the way certain security personnel are interacting with customers. Management should seriously review how their security staff are trained to approach and de-escalate situations. Customers should not leave a neighborhood bar feeling watched, targeted, or physically unsafe. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because we genuinely enjoyed coming here before this experience.

There's also a balcony for al fresco dining. Cute, cozy brick interior. As for the food....YUM, YUM, YUM. We had the smash burgers. Believe me when I say the Celine Dijon was outstanding!!! Sounds strange but the crispy friend cheese was unique and with bacon jam.....Home run. Would come back just for that. Mr. Egon was good,but didn't compare to Celine. Handcut fries were plentiful but thought were overly seasoned. Dipping sauce was .75 extra. We shared the generous slice of whipped peanut butter pie, drizzled with fudge. Would have preferred whipped cream. My preference. Drinks were not strong. Orders were served with that sweet southern hospitality. Highly recommend reservations for weekend. Public parking provided in back can easily fill up on weekends.

We started with their Bread plate, a nice serving of fresh bread and a good start while waiting for our meal. I ordered a Black & Tan and it was not that, this is a traditional pub pour, with guiness and bass ale, with a distinct break between the two porter on the bottom and the ale is floated across the top. There was no break in my serving and it was not a traditional B&T. After giving the concise menu a look, I opted for the Fish and chips and a side of their Gouda and mac. Fish and Chips, Haddock, whole potato wedges tartar and ketchup with a lemon wedge. The fish was prepared very well, the potatoes like home style and the mac and cheese very good, rich creamy and tasty. The Haddock was a nice large filet, breaded lightly and tender. A good meal. A lot of folks the night of our visit ordered the Fish and it is obvious its one of their signature dishes. A solid choice for a meal in my book. 4 Stars A solid meal in a comfortable location 01286

There were no neon lights or signs or anything to make the restaurant look open. Walking into the front door was interesting. To be honest, I'm surprised I stayed. The door has random stickers on it and, quite frankly, is a mess. Ladders were at the entrance and I'm not sure if they were there just at the time we were there or if that's where they are stored. We sat down and were not impressed. The place just seemed dirty. (Mostly my impression because of the entrance). I know this is not a fine dining establishment, but we were looking for some good wings which is why we ended up at Will Henry's. Turns out the wings were really good. They were big and saucy. We also ordered a grilled chicken sandwich which was just ok. The service was ok as well. Apparently, there were a lot of "regulars" there because everyone knew each other and knew the staff. So that's nice that they have returning customers. I don't think we will be back. We will continue the search for great wings.

We walked in after a long day and received the best service from our waitress Molly. The owner greeted us at our table and ensured everything was up to par, which it absolutely was.

As a huge plus, the women's bathroom was stocked with a little basket of all the girlie needs (advil, body spray, feminine products, etc). A regular sat down with us and started chatting us up, said she had been coming here for 6 years, which is a testament to the overall vibe of the bar and staff. Btw, TRY THE OKRA!!! So good.

What a great idea! I had forgotten how original and traditional the meals are, we were able to walk in with no reservation and get seated within 10 minutes where we all proceeded to order drinks and for me, Guinness! We started with a few pretzels with the beer cheese, which were fantastic. Then I was craving the Reuben, which was better than I even remembered. Not massively big but some of the best flavored meat I've had in a Reuben in a while. You can tell they cook it themselves and it was really super! Rest of the family bangers and mash and a lot of fish and chips, which is something they are known for. Great service, excellent cocktails, and the food was spot on. A great venue to spend the evening got home early to have a great weekend but so glad we came here Friday night. We live nearby and hardly ever come, and this was a real treat. Highly recommend.

We started with cocktails. I had the Lychee Martini and my partner had the Mexican Standoff. Both were okay but seemed a little light on the liquor. For appetizers, we got the duck spring rolls and shrimp crab nachos. The duck tasted a little off, though the sauce was delicious. The nachos were just okay and could have used more crab flavor. We also ordered the buffalo wings and Parmesan truffle fries. The wings were basic, and while the fries were good, the flavor seemed slightly off. Not sure if I'd come back if I was in the area. Nothing really wowed me, but the service was great. The burgers coming out to other tables looked amazing, and maybe that is what would bring me back if I was craving one.
