Bar bingo cards were $1 and you could play one at a time without buying a packet. The vibe is cozy rustic and had V-day decor. My husband and I shared the fried chicken dinner with fries and green beans as our side and we both thought the chicken was juicy with a flavorful crispy coating. Great fries! Green beans had a healthy kick of heat. All for under $18!!!!!

Our wait staff was upper friendly and attentive and did a great job with our visit. We all ordered different food. I had the nachos with brisket. Amazing and a massive plate of them! My gf had the flatbread with the cauliflower crust and ate nearly the whole thing. We also had the smashburger and the Thai bowl. It was all so delish. A couple of us had the Bloody Marys and they raved about them. Great place and they have pull tabs, bingo and a meat raffle. Def recommend!!

I could them with every meal. They're insanely good. Dinner, get the short rib or the lamb shank. Delicious. The buffalo cauliflower as an appetizer is a must do too!!

Yum, yum, yum. Gosh, these guys are good…read more We went with a group of five for Sunday brunch/lunch, and everyone liked their food and drinks. My wife and I have been here many times, and there's a reason we keep coming back. That said, not everything is perfect. The food here is consistently great. I could go into more detail, but we've had so many different dishes over the years that it's hard to list them all. For my own notes, I had the Short Rib Melt this time and absolutely loved it. I wanted more! The Burrata Bruschetta was amazing too. It was way too expensive for only four small slices of toast, but it was delicious. We've also really enjoyed their French Toast in the past, along with several other menu items. The cheesy hashbrowns are usually amazing, but there were something off about ours this time. Maybe we just got a bad batch...? Their coffee drinks are also very good. A few people at our table ordered lattes and said they were much better than an average latte. They were also very large. One thing that's both good and bad is that they change and rotate their menu fairly often. On the plus side, you can visit and try something new that you may not have seen there before. On the downside, some of our favorite dishes are no longer on the menu, which can be disappointing. The same thing seems to happen with their specials and deals. They used to have a Smashburger special, one day of the week, but I don't think that's offered anymore. I also remember several other specials they used to run that are no longer available. There have been a few times when that has kept us from visiting. Their hours are also weird at times, so I strongly recommend checking the hours on their website before making plans. They may not be open when you expect them to be. For example, we've wanted to go there for dinner several times on a Monday or Tuesday, but they aren't open. Kitchen closes early several other days. It was extremely busy when we arrived around 10:50 to 11:00 a.m. on a Sunday. We were honestly surprised by how packed it was, and there was a wait for a table. Just an FYI if you're planning to visit during a busy brunch time. Also, in case the owner is reading this, using AI-generated images on your website and inside the restaurant is a massive turnoff. I don't want to see AI-generated artwork on a restaurant's website or hanging inside the restaurant itself. That is an easy star deduction for me. The design and style of the restaurant are really nice. It has more of an open concept setup, so it can get a little loud, but for some reason it never seems to get as loud as you might expect. If you go during a slower time, it can be very relaxing. Overall, I really like the look and feel of the restaurant. I feel like I say this in 95% of my Yelp reviews at this point, but I'm going to keep saying it. The prices aren't great, especially compared with the portion sizes. I won't spend too much time on this, but if you're looking for a budget-friendly restaurant, this probably isn't the place. The service was mostly great. They were clearly very busy, but our waiter never refilled my water, and he didn't come back often enough for me to ask. He also didn't know what soups they had for the day, and instead of offering to go check, he just said he "didn't know" and my friend ordered something else for their side. Not a huge deal, but maybe a coachable moment. Since the restaurant was so packed, it also took quite a while to get our food and drinks. That was understandable considering how busy they were, but it's worth knowing if you're in a hurry. Overall, we really love The Better Half. The food is great, the coffee drinks are better than average, the restaurant has a nice and relaxing atmosphere, the staff is friendly, and there's usually something new to try. The higher prices, weird hours, rotating menu, discontinued specials, AI-generated artwork, and occasional slow service keep it from being perfect, but the great food and overall experience will keep us coming back, just not as often as some other places.

The Good: The…read morehomemade chips were amazing. The food was really good and came quick. They aren't lying when they say they have an amazing club sandwich. The bad: Beware of what you're ordering. We walked in for lunch and it looked like we were inconveniencing them. One of the staff literally sat at the bar for a few minutes staring at us before going on the other side to serve us. They clearly didn't want people in the bar area even though it was open. I ordered a bloody and it came in a small cocktail glass, not a pint glass like pictured, with an olive and a pickle. Which wasn't a big deal since I didn't order a done up one, but when I noticed it was $8.50 due to an up charge for Tito's (which makes sense) I felt like I was in the city. I then ordered a Windsor 7 and it was served in a pint glass. I was happily surprised it came in a larger glass and felt they had redeemed themselves.... until the bill came. Without ordering it "tall" or a double I was uncharged $1.50 for it being tall. All I'll say is if you order drinks here make sure you are specific or the staff will take advantage and up-charge you.

The cheese is made in house though! We came for Tuesday 7pm bingo and meat raffle and ate in the dinning room- not the bar. The dinning room was a normal volume and was hushed toned during bingo.
