Great friendly service! Sat at the bar for dinner. Got several $2.50 miller lites as the Friday night special. My husband loved his burger and he got a sandwich to go. I got the 8 boneless wings which was good with the sweet spicy sauce. Get the wings not the sloppy Joe. Chill vibes before karaoke started. read more

I visited here around 9:45pm with my sons after a day at Great Wolf Lodge. It wasn't busy at all and we were able to pick our own table. I ordered around 9:08pm. I ordered a large pep pizza (that was half off) and a "hog" sampler. The mozzarella sticks are very long. They were fresh but slightly overcooked and flavorless, honestly. The cheese on top was almost pointless as it didn't add flavor and it fell off immediately. The quesadilla was tasty. The garlic parm wings were crispy and cooked well but the sauce was different... it wasn't nasty but not what was expected. After a conversation with the waitress, she knew it was different. In these cases, I believe the servers should tell customers that versus letting them find out after the fact. The pizza came at 9:30pm and tbh, it wasn't the best lol. It was mainly for the boys and they ate it with no issues. It was subpar to me and I was disappointed. The service was inconsistent with attentiveness which was another bummer considering it wasn't busy at all. It's unlikely I would return. read more

Food & Service: I went for dinner on a Saturday evening; arriving around 6pm. It wasn't at all busy, 5 tables in total on arrival. It is a seat yourself environment. There were two girls covering the area. The tables needed a good cleaning, sticky & a bit grimy feeling. The one who covered our table was incredibly slow as was the kitchen. It took 10ish minutes for our drink order to be taken and receive the menu. We put in appetizer request at same time. We ordered what was described as a "GIANT" pretzel; gross overstatement. It was comparable in size to an Auntie Anne pretzel. The queso included was bland; it had a little heat/spice but flavorless. For meal ordered garlic parm boneless wings with sweet potato fries in place of regular, what I received absolutely was not that. It was chopped chicken breast chunks with some sort sauce. We also order Philly cheesesteak; very little meat and huge pieces of peppers basically filled the roll with regular fries. Both types of fries were unimpressive. I did confirm that the flavoring of the wings was available as I requested and let them know I received something entirely different. Due to it taking nearly over 30 minutes to get food and was nearly finished by time we were able to flag her down for drink refill and point out the error; food was not corrected. Ambiance: Vibes were hole in the wall sports/biker bar with pool tables and bar to one side & dining to other. There are TVs absolutely everywhere so great for watching a game. If there is ever a live band playing, the vibes are definitely right. Don't expect to be able to hold a conversation while eating. Initially when we arrived TVs were on and music playing at a pleasant level to be able to converse without yelling. No idea if it was intentional but it changed to a football game blasting (entirely too loud for no crowd) but didn't align with any of the TVs. Overall, it was a very underwhelming experience. Skip it for meal. Additional note bathroom was another fail; no soap! read more

The food was good and reasonably priced. The sauces and dressings were good. They have a lot of specials. Our waitress was attentive. As a warning, the attire choices of the waitresses was not family friendly. The atmosphere is very casual. read more

My wife & me tried to eat here last Saturday. Wasn't very busy with plenty of open tables. We sat down & waited. At least 2 waitresses walked by our table multiple times. No smiles, no greeting, didn't even acknowledge we were there. We waited about 15 minutes w/o a single acknowledgement. First & last time. Hard pass. Too many decent places in the area to waste our time here. I guess I can't really complain about the service...there wasn't any. read more

Large 1 topping 1/2 price pizza on Sundays, and it is awesome!!! Gooey and cheesy and perfect! Better than Hawthorns and they claim to be a NY pizzeria. I would pay full price for Thunder's pizza, but on Sundays I don't have to! p.s. Mindy rocks!!!! read more

Our bartender was fine, this review is directly towards the owners sister who is "management" and they have no clue how to manage customer service- When there are no pictures on your menu or description of "thunder size" chicken breast sandwich... it would be nice to be warned how it is prepared. Instead of the kitchen cutting it in half and STACKING the hunk of meat that "they've never had anyone complain about the size", they lay it on two open buns and call it a "sandwich" how do you pick it up? It's just an entree at this point. Where they truly went wrong was the CUSTOMER SERVICE part... took management about 20 minutes to come over and discuss the dissatisfaction, and by discuss I mean argue with us already knowing she was not comping off the ticket and us order something else. The bartender mentioned she would have to pay for it if she takes it off our tab... that's illegal for you to do to your employees. Then to call the police when we said we would pay for the tab... you're straight up trash people. Good luck with your business, I'd love to see her face when someone else complains about this issue, too. Can't even see the building sign as you're parking... they should care about some of the things that they do not. If your pride is based on the size of the chicken sandwich so much that you can't afford to comp $12.99 from our tab... it's pretty sad. A company who isn't going to be known for the outstanding quality of food should at least aim for excelling in customer service to balance the experience, no? We can get Miller on tap anywhere else, bye. read more

Walked in and sign said seat self. Sat down. Ignored by staff. Had to flag down a random server whom was kind enough to get me a water and take my order. I ate without anyone checking on table. Asked for a box and check. After 15 minutes flagged a second time to ask for a box and check. The service is horrible. Noisy, but hey it is the environment. The servers were more focused on the multi-people ticket and not my single person table. Even the Manager guy was rude. If I could give ZERO stars I would. read more

My husband and I shared the buffalo chicken sandwich and it was definitely better to share it! It was huge but delicious! The server was attentive and kept our drinks filled. She was good. The only negative I saw was the sink in the ladies bathroom had hair in it but overall we really liked the place! Everyone in our party loved their food! read more

Can't beat the drink and food specials. Wings are the best in town and the chicken sandwich is enormous.

What a joke! arrived at 4:44 on Saturday. Waited until 550 and still did not have my food. Lady next to me asked for her check three times and didn't get it. Got up and walked out. Three bartenders and zero customer service. And I know these bartenders have been there for a while. One even told the guy she couldn't stop talking to that she had been there 12 years!! Meanwhile the conversations with their friends were endless. In fact one group had their own food! Brought sandwiches and Vienna sausages. No one seems to have a problem with that but at least now I understand why. Since they can't seem to give you any food on their own. This place is pathetic. Can't rate anything else since I never got anything. read more

During my lunch visit, I was served a 12-piece wing dinner that did not meet safe temperature requirements, along with overcooked French fries. Upon notifying the staff, I was asked to return the meal, which was then inspected by a staff member who incorrectly claimed the wings were cooked to a safe temperature, despite obvious signs of undercooking. The representative then made a remark that suggested a biased attitude towards me and my colleagues, who are regular patrons of this establishment. This experience led to extreme dissatisfaction, and I would not recommend this establishment. Very Racist! Very unprofessional! Very Rude! read more

I saw a friend had visited this place and it seemed interesting, so I looked at the menu and decided to check it out for myself. The main reason I wanted to visit was for the huge mozzarella cheese sticks, these things are huge! Aside from their size, they were about the same as any other mozzarella sticks, not that it's a bad thing. The patty melt I had was good, and my wife enjoyed her salad. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. I would definitely go back and try some new things, as they have a pretty good menu selection. read more

The food is good! Service was not acceptable. The bar manager on staff was a female and was distracted cursing on her phone and then started cursing at a patron. I asked for the manager and was told she was the manager. I am thinking that a hospitality or ethics training would be something ownership wants to look into. I gather it is a laid back and bar/saloon environment but management should be able to act appropriately under all circumstances. read more

So, the food was decent. I had the Bacon Wrapped Shrimp, Sloppy Seconds, Coleslaw, Onion Rings, Corona and a Sweet Tea. So the Sloppy Joe was a bit overly "tangy". Bacon Wrapped Shrimp was Ok but shrimp a bit tough and bacon not exactly cooked evenly. Onion Rinds were good. Coleslaw was good as well. As far as the service, I was one of three or 4 tables in the entire place. Sever came by and checked on me but her personality left a lot to desire..... Now when it came to the bill, I actually noticed so discrepancies. My Sloppy Seconds Sandwich was a lunch special at $6.99. However, I was charged $7.99 as you can clearly see on the receipt. The Bacon Wrapped Shrimp was on the menu at $8.99, however you can clearly see I was charged $9.99. Now the $2.00 difference ain't nothing to cry over, but as a matter of principal, that's deceptive and down right bad business. read more

I have to give this place 5 stars. I've been 3 times and every time the food is impressive! It is kind of hidden. So you have to be looking for it but once you find it you'll want to come back!! The servers are great and there are tons of TVs. Great spot to watch a game. The pizza is one of my favorites in concord and there side dishes like the Brandied mushrooms and onions are unique and addicting! read more

Had lunch around noon on Saturday. We had not been there for a while and my brother in law wanted to go there. There were six in our party. Not many people in there when we arrived. The server came over, apologized in advance stating that she was the only server there at the time and that she would try her best. I really appreciated her honesty and effort. She turned out to be great. I order tail pipes. They came out looking very dark, I was worried that they would taste like the oil had been burnt but they didn't. Food was ok, nothing to brag about. This place has really gone to hell. The bathroom was nasty and it looks like no one cares enough to do any maintenance. Definitely not going back there. read more

Great bar food with a biker atmosphere. Servers were friendly. Waitress Attire is not for children.

Experience was terrible such a racist place would not recommend. The manager was so rude it's crazy.

We came here after doing some Christmas shopping at the mall. I noticed it after we left Boot Barn and though it would be a good place for a few beers and maybe some lunch. We were there for the $2.00 domestic draft specials which is a great price but apparently Mic Ultra isn't considered "domestic. No big deal though. My wife ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp and I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich. My wife said the shrimp was way over cooked. The chicken sandwich is huge but huge doesn't necessarily mean good. It was seasoned well and had flavor but definitely chewy. I'm not knocking this bar by any means. It is a fantastic atmosphere and the people were very nice. I would definitely come back again. On another note, our bartender was not very personable. I actually saw her waiting on people while talking on her cell phone. read more

Can't say enough good! Been going to Mooresville location for couple of years despite horrible vulgar locals making it unbearable. Wife and i are far from Karen's and very hard to offend but the Mooresville location is trash and quite frankly out of control even during the week. But this is about concord. Concord has the same wow factor in food and pre Covid, hard to believe prices! The service was beyond impressive. And no vulgarity or fights. Just relaxing fun sports bar vibe anyone can enjoy. Just can't believe the difference! Food quality and portions.... Service.... Prices..... how do they do it!? Our new weeknight spot for sure. read more

Come hungry for a pleasant stop near Concord Mills We were out today helping my Stepson and his wife pick up some patio furniture and go get some things for our upcoming trip to Marietta Ga for a some to be 3 year olds birthday when lunchtime rolled around. We had eaten at Iron Thunder years ago but had not been back lately. That is not to say we have not dined at one of their sister locations in Mooresville. Same menu for Concord, Mooresville and also Hickory. It a bit spartan when you walk in with most of the tables being hightops around the edge of the room. Still like most sports bars, plenty of big screen TV's around the room and for a change, this was the first Sports Bar I've been to that had competition Rodeo on. We were promptly seated and the normal sequence of presentation of menu and taking beverage orders followed returning with the beverages and taking our lunch order in a very timely fashion. My wife ordered the Crab Balls appetizer and the Soup of the Day which was a Brandied Onion Mushroom soup in lieu of a full entree. I ordered the Buffalo Chichen Sandwich with Fries as a side. I had that at Mooresvillle and had enjoyed it there so tried it again. My wife liked her meal and commented that the Soup and a nice taste and texture to it. As far my Sandwich, first of all I could not believe the size of the thing. Looking at it, I expected it to be very dry because of the crust on the outside but just beneath the crust was a very flavorful bird cooked just right. Hats off to the kitchen staff although i will point out the fries were a bit under cooked and needed more time in the fryer. I was a good lunch and I would recommend it as a different place to have a nice lunch in the Concord Mills area. It's next door to the Harley Davidson shop which is probably part of the origin of the name for the restaurant. This is the oldest of the three restaurants and the one in Hickory is also next to a motorcycle dealer. read more

As a loyal Yelper, when I am on the road I do try to try some of the local eateries instead of the well known chains. So when the small sign on the interstate (the one that lets you know what restaurants are at that exit) has on the bottom of the sign "where the locals go" I decided to give it a try. I knew it was in front of the Harley Davidson dealership, and from the name I expected a biker friendly decor and menu, and assumed that the female wait staff would probably be wearing something like jeans and tank tops. I was wrong on the last part. Evidently the female bar and wait staff dress in various outfits based on a theme. The theme on this day was lingerie. I seated myself and really wasn't paying attention when my server came to the table and asked what I wanted to drink. I wasn't expecting to look up and see a well endowed female wearing lingerie ready to take my food order! I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich. When it arrived at the table I was blown away at the size of it. It was served open faced with a side of fries and some ranch dressing. I ordered it with the medium heat sauce, and that was just the right amount of heat. Had a good flavor. Managed to eat half of it before I threw in the towel. Server brought me a to go box - without me having to request it. Server was polite. She appeared at the right times with drink refills, the to go box, and the check. Place has tvs everywhere. Definitely a different place for lunch! read more

Started out with the server. She was clearly hired for looks and not for her intellect. Couldn't comprehend any drink orders that weren't on the printed menu. No coffee available. The meat in the Reuben sandwich and thick and fatty. Other entrees, were just okay. Other places would have been better options read more

WOW!! Came down to Charlotte from Greensboro to go to Sealife Aquarium and stopped through to get some dinner. Most places when they "brand" one of their meals is either a small dish and great or a big dish but lacks on the taste. THIS CHICKEN SANDWICH is not only massive but delicious!! Pics are of the entire chicken, other is the half I couldn't finish. Buffalo Chicken SandwichWill be back! read more

Why 3 stars? Chances are if you are looking at this place you're interested in biker bars. Fair enough??? Iron Thunder Saloon? So, as far as biker bars go..... this is a 5 star. All the right things...... music. Neon signs. Lots of bikes and bikers! Yes. But I'm terms of good food and good service,..,..,,,,, Meh....,,,,,,, Don't come here if you want great food and great service!! Come here for great times!!! Sports on the tv. Rock and Roll. Biker environment!!! I hope this helps. (Frankly, the food and the service are both quite bad, but hey... it's a biker bar). Ladies, calling your customer "baby" when you visit every 15 minutes doesn't constitute good service. Just a tip). read more

Do not go to eat here. Eat somewhere else before going. Then just enjoy some drinks and time with friends here. The food is horrible.

10/14/19 UPDATE....thanks for the shout-out Eric! Where to begin.... we had some time before heading to a concert at PNC Pavilion and wanted to grab a quick bite to eat. My husband saw this place on yelp and it had decent reviews... That was a big fat mistake, to say the least. The service was absolutely horrible! Our waitress, Abbie L, obviously thought she would get better tips from another table full of guys so she pretty much ignored us (also had our daughter with us). We feel we are very generous tippers, 30% or more, depending on the service. Needless to say this girl did not get much of a tip, especially since I had to go up to the bar to get drink refills and to go boxes. I said something to the people at the bar because they asked why I was up there myself. If we could have only gotten our server to actually wait on us versus flaunting her chubby self as she stood on two barstools trying to impress the guys. It was quite disgusting, a photo is attached. Not something I care to see when I am trying to eat, lost my appetite that's for sure. But it made me feel good about myself! Food is pricey and nothing special at all. DEFINITELY will not revisit or recommend. read more

Loved this place! Everything was delicious. The crab balls were the best I've ever had with no filler!

Service was great, food was horrible! The sirloin was chewy like rubber and had no flavor besides the salt dumped on the top. The steak itself looked like meat for institutional use only.

I honestly felt bad for the waitress, she was so attentive and awesome that it was a bummer she was forced to deliver such horrible food to her customers. read more

Anyone out in Yelp world know why I cannot check in at this establishment? Very frustrating, but from this location, I can check into Quaker Steak and Lube????? errrrr.... Anyways, my wife and I visit about every Wednesday night for bike night. The wings are awesome and my wife says they have the best quesadillas. Also, if you wanna try something different, get the Buffalo Chicken breast sandwich, the breast is big as hell. I mix buffalo sauce and terriyaki for something different. The bleu cheese dressing is friggin' awesome. Not that running crap Quaker has...... My only bitch is, make sure you ask them to send out some fresh fries, seems like the fries are cold if I do not ask for a new drop...... There is usually 10-25 bikes, good crowd and they always have a great band. Sometimes the band sets up on the patio. Recently, Speedway Harley started have their Wed bike night, so you can walk back and forth. About 50-100 bikes up at Pat's. It is gonna be interesting when Suk Bang Blow opens in the next parking lot!!!! read more
