No live music while we were there, but it was perfect for visiting and enjoying the company at the table. We would definitely return.

This was my 15th visit, so I figured it was finally time to leave a review! The burgers here never…read moredisappoint. They're always cooked fresh to order, served piping hot, and incredibly juicy. The burgers are medium-sized, but they also offer a double burger option. I usually choose the regular cheeseburger, but this time I tried the "Chiflet," made with Snake River Farms Wagyu beef and topped with applewood smoked bacon, egg, and American cheese on a potato bun. Absolutely delicious! They also feature a daily burger special, which keeps the menu interesting. The crinkle fries are consistently hot and pair perfectly with the burgers. On top of that, they offer a great selection of both imported and domestic beers. The staff is always super friendly. Overall, it's a great spot to grab a burger, hang out, and enjoy the atmosphere.

I had the Dr. Gonzo burger which had a burger patty, Swiss cheese, grilled onions, and bacon. Great choice of yummy ingredients to make a solid burger. The burger is kind of small but I was full after inhaling the fried and perfectly seasoned crinkle cut fries. The fry sauce was a total Hit! Service was good. Our server Becky was very friendly and helpful. The place has tables and chairs and high top tables too. The bar is dark but they do have some picnic tables near the entrance for more light. Bathrooms were clean and had a lot of personal signatures and art. I am going to return to get a different kind of burger.

Cool vibes ! Good Food ! Diverse music! This place is definitely a hidden gem in mid- town .read more

As she tried reshaping the issue on us, we pointed out her errors. Not wanting to hear it, she melts down and asks us to leave, we happily obliged. Certainly won't be back there unless there's a change of ownership, management, or at a bare minimum, bartender.

you're looking for an authentic live music experience, Neil's Music Room absolutely delivers. From…read morethe moment the band hit the stage, the energy in the room was electric. The musicians were incredibly talented, keeping the crowd engaged with an outstanding mix of music that had people singing along, dancing, and simply enjoying the moment. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and full of personality--exactly what you'd hope for from a true music venue. Whether you're there for a date night, hanging out with friends, or just looking to unwind after a long week, the vibe makes it easy to settle in and enjoy yourself. I ordered the Long Island Iced Tea, and it did not disappoint. It was well-balanced, smooth, and packed just enough punch without tasting overly sweet or overly strong. A quality cocktail that complemented the evening perfectly. Although I didn't try the food on this visit, the live entertainment, lively crowd, and excellent drinks were more than enough to make it a memorable night. If you appreciate live bands, a fun atmosphere, and well-crafted cocktails, Neil's Music Room is definitely worth adding to your list. I'll certainly be back to enjoy another show--and next time, I'll be trying the food.

Time to update…read more... I am breaking up with you for good if this keeps happening, Neil. I try to be cool with the Fat Man, who rocks, but it's getting increasingly more difficult. You don't even speak to me any more. Hobbling around like "The Penguin" and shit, all sully and frank. This time he is sitting with the old guy group by the bar. A guy says he's not paying for his burger because it is too small for the money. Neil tells to the bar lady "you tell them to save that burger and the next one comes in, use it!" Gross. This also leads me to believe my food was leftover from last week. More on that in just a bit... The place is just flat nasty in the front. Grease, dust, dirt, and grime. I would hate to see what the kitchen looks like. The only reason I still come here is to reminisce about my Dad. He and his friends loved this place. They have a chicken liver lunch special on Wednesdays that we used to hit up together. I have always loved the burger here although it's been years since I had it. Never will again bow. Service is usually ok as there are more mature type folk working here for the most part. The bartender lady with the spiked blonde hair is nice in her own way. Not the case this last time though. I had a newbie server it seemed. My last visit sucked really bad. My last three visits before that, sucked moderately bad. I can take the moderate piece, but won't stand the shit I got last time. I get the same thing every time these days. Fried chicken livers with white beans, corn, and cornbread. This is one of the lunch specials on Wednesday. They only have the livers once a week. The beans are served once a week, and the corn is on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Why do I mention this? When I came last time, the veggies I was served were leftover from being cooked before. No doubt about this. No way they weren't. It was 11:45 so there is no way it say out long enough to get this old. So, I do believe that I was served last week's leftovers. To add to insult, they were cold. The livers and the butter were the only things hot. Look at the pic from this last visit and look at the history of my plates here. You can watch the quality degrade. I would have complained had the new girl given a shit enough to ask how I liked the food I had one bite of. She just walked up and asked if I was ready to pay. I was ready to leave, that's for sure. Left everything but the livers. You have exactly one more chance Neil... '26 - 78
