    Dipped chicken tenders and fries with ranch
    Crystal B.

    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.

    Poorly cut trees can't even see the name from the lot.

    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.

    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!

    Great hidden place near concord mills. Large menu. Plenty of indoor and iutdoor seating. Eat big table inside has its own TV. We went for the cheesesticks or as they cal them kickstands! We were not disappointed. Def worth a try. Lunch menus and specials!

    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.

    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!

    Bacon Wrapped
    Gary K.

    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.

    Went with friends to spend the day at Concord Mills to do a little shopping. We decided to try out…read moreMW's Taproom since the mall closed at 6pm. The restaurant was a ghost town on a Sunday evening. Maybe everyone is still eating Thanksgiving leftovers? Since there were 3 of us, we opted for an order of 3 tenders, 3 sliders, and 3 fry flavors. It was definitely enough for us to all share. The tenders were nice and crispy and the sweet chili sauce was good. I picked the Green Flag slider with bacon and pickles, very tasty. The little burger was cooked perfectly. For the fries we went with beer cheese and bacon, MW dusted, and Cajun. The Cajun were the best of the 3. The MW dust is a little on the sweet side which I didn't mind because I was dipping mine in the leftover sweet chili sauce. I was hoping to be able to pick tots as one of the 3 options but it was fries or tots, no mixing. I was also a little disappointed that the entrees options did not come with any sides. Since they were dead, the hostess was also our server. She was sweet. She answered all of our questions with ease. She didn't check back as much as I would have preferred for refills and the check but it wasn't a terrible wait. I think I was just ready to hit the road for the long ride home. They have a serious number of TVs for a sports bar so I'm sure if you are a football fan, you'll be able to watch your game, or better yet, a NASCAR race once the season starts back in February. Overall, decent bar food with plenty of TVs for sports spectators.

    I was pleasantly surprised, this exceeded my expectations based on visits to similarly marketed…read morerace car driver owned restaurants nearby. We went on a Tuesday evening when they have $2 off their Michael Waltrip beer and a kids eat free promotion. Everything was very clean. The servers were appropriately dressed (other driver owned restaurants may lack this) and helpful. They have good beer on tap that I believe is brewed there. My husband loved his burger. My sauced tenders were good. I liked the bacon cheese fries and the dusted fries. Know that sides are extra with the exception of kids meals. We will be back.

It's seat-yourself, so we had to pull a couple tables together to fit everyone. One thing to note: it was very warm inside, so I'd recommend sitting toward the back where it's more comfortable. My boys really enjoy this place, so I wanted to like it more, but the food was just okay and a bit pricey for what you get. Most items run about $14.99-$21.99, even appetizers are at entrée prices. I ordered the Carne Asada Fries appetizer ($15.99) after hearing they were "fire." The steak had good flavor, but the portion was light--fine for sharing, but not very filling. One entree, Big Dipper ($15.49), a roast beef seemed overcooked and there wasn't much meat on a large bun. Two people from the table ordered pizza. Neither ate more than 2 pieces. On the positive side, the beer selection is excellent, with plenty of options on tap and in bottles and cans--from Guinness to local IPAs. The atmosphere is also unique: plates cover the walls and ceiling from guests who've completed their beer challenge, which makes for a fun, quirky vibe you really have to see in person. Dart boards for those who want to be a bit more active. Overall, it's a great spot for beer and atmosphere, but the food and pricing didn't quite match the experience for me.
