Your hostesses need coaching on paying attention. Granted, I had a long day at work and just…read morewanted a descent meal. I walked at around 6:00 pm. Not busy by comparison to a Friday night. The hostess asked the number in the party. "Just me". There were plenty of tables available. After about 3-4 minutes of Fumbling around, (keep in mind they were not busy ). another hostess, with a long green scarf wrapped around her head to look like a gypsy, looked at me, took me around to the right side of the restaurant, and did not even bother to seat me at the table. The Following conversation below explains the reason I feel the way I feel. Keep in mind I was Asked if I wanted a Hi-top table. The hostess says. "Hi-top" ?? I said...." Sure...." She walks me past the bar towards the bathroom and sticks me a 2 seater table that was dark as crap. Not a hightop. So dark that I sat down and pulled out my phone in order to use the light to read the menu. I say.... "How about that table right there, pointing to the HIGH-Top in the bar... She says..." this is where I need to seat you for service.... ". ???? Since when can you not get service at a bar hightop??? I sit down.... I try to read the menu in the dark .. a waitress walks by me about 4 times ... no acknowledgment not even a how are you. Just walked past .... I get up and leave everything at the table and walk out .... so much for a decent meal and leaving a server a very decent tip. Never again .... I would not even post this if it had not been that this is the second time I've been to Duckworth's and service has just been horrendous. I'm not sure if it's because there is a group of regulars that go there and love the establishment, and gives them high scores but as someone who visits every now and then, and each time over the last six months has received horrible service I just don't understand. The food is not that great, and the service is even worse. I would not recommend this restaurant at any time of the day or night not until they can get either staffing needs straightened out or better food .

Brewery #441 Last…read morestop of my birthday brewery hop. The brewery was a standalone spot in like a shopping area like a McDonald's or an Applebee's would be. Walking up felt like a chain restaurant but walking in felt like the awesome brewery it was. It was about an hour before closing on a Sunday night so it wasn't very busy. I got my usual flight which at Hoptown consists of 4 beers and a water but since it was my birthday they gave me 5. Woohoooo. I got a wheat beer, a Hefe, a Kolsch, an IPA and a hazy pale ale. The beers were all solid, but the Flip Flops (hazy) was my favorite. We sat outside in their courtyard area overlooking an Ice cream shop. They played an eclectic mix of songs from country (blah) to "Walk the Dinosaur" by Was (Not Was). Fun place that makes the best of its suburbia location.

The wings were a really good size--big and meaty, not small at all, which was a huge plus. The flavor was great too, and I'll definitely try their other sauces in the future. Next time I'll probably ask for crispy wings to get a little extra crunch. Overall, solid wings. The inside of the bar has a chill vibe with a huge bar, several pool tables, and dart boards for fun. There are plenty of TVs to catch sports, plus a bean bag toss game outside and outdoor seating. A great spot to hang out and enjoy good food and drinks.

My friend got the Cod Fish and Chips and I got the Fried Clam Po Boy with fries. The fries were crunchy and the clams were tender. Everything was delicious! We got salads to go for our dinner later and they were good too! I got the grilled shrimp spinach salad with candied pecans, red onions, roasted red peppers, bacon and hot bacon dressing! Julie got the California Cobb with grilled chicken, balsamic and lots of other good stuff.

Great Food, Drinks & Vibes!…read more Original Visit (2024): I came to Big Al's and ordered the 10pc Teriyaki wings with a side of seasoned fries, and let me tell you--the food was on point! The wings were fried perfectly, and the teriyaki sauce was immaculate. The fries were crispy and flavorful, not bland like some other spots. To top it off, I had my go-to drink: a Liquid Marijuana cocktail, and it was strong in the best way. Only $8, and one glass had me feeling it! The bartender/server Dalton was great--super friendly--and the rest of the staff were just as welcoming. I didn't get any pictures because I was too caught up in the moment, but it was definitely a vibe. Updated Visit - 6/17/25: I had to come back--and this time, I showed up on karaoke night (looks like it's on Tuesdays). The energy was amazing, with a fun crowd, great DJ, and solid karaoke performances. It actually reminded me of The House in Durham, NC. This time I ordered 15 or 16 boneless wings (half BBQ, half mild) with a basket of fries, liquid marijuana, and everything hit the spot. Wings were juicy and flavorful, and the fries were crispy and hot--just the way I like them. If you're looking for a late-night spot to chill, grab some food, or even just take out--Big Al's is a great go-to. Between the food, drinks, music, and friendly service, they've got a winning combo. I'll definitely keep coming back!

I can't say enough good things about the food, the staff and just the overall good time we always have here. Recommend!!

I raised my glass and shouted, "Hear! Hear! To motorcycles, chicken, and beer!"…read more I'm not at Iron Thunder often (maybe twice per month) so everyone looked over at me like I was nuts. I thought to myself: 'shit' and called the bartender over (Alexis--excellent at remembering every detail of a food order and light vibe yet professional service). She walked over. I said, "I have to tell you something and it's really important. But I can't say it too loud." Alexis: "Okay." I raised my glass and shouted, "Hear! Hear! To motorcycles, chicken, and beer!" Okay, that didn't really happen. I actually came in because my phone was dying and wanted to see if they had a charger. They did indeed have a highly effective port on that little trivia screen thing at the bar, and they have a few of them. So, this is an odd yet valuable tip. IT is right off the highway. If you're traveling on I-77 and need a charger, this is the spot! It has a lot of juice too. The chicken sandwich (enormous) also has some juice and was better than expected, and the fries are probably the best sports bar fries in the area. For atmosphere, a ton of space with a bar, couches, a pool table, video games, outdoor seating, and a fire pit. As for the Iron Thunder brand and the clientele it pulls, this one is way more chill than the others. If you ever see drama, it should be minor. For drinkers, they have deals every day, mostly on beer. The reason for the 4 opposed to the 5 is twofold. One, the urinal set up is bizarre (no barrier and you urinate on stage if someone enters bathroom.) Two, just an overall vibe that something could be done to make it a little nicer. You have to be there to understand. For the record, I mind my own business and just chill and drink my beer when here. It's just a quick spot for me to unwind if I pop in. Overall, recommended. But understand the vibe. It's a biker theme (very few bikers though).
