    My husband and I visited recently on a "Day Date" and had the same incredible service and we loved sitting in the patio/covered porch area as well. My husband had their Mediterranean Salmon and I tried their Cola BBq sandwich. We got steamed broccoli and friend onion rings as our sides and shared so it was half healthy lol Their onion rings are so good and I had the Broccoli double steamed which seemed to make the flavoring used seep in and taste delicious!!

    Kids cheeseburger
    Nick R.

    The food and service is typically fantastic. Our last visit on 12/28/25 definitely wasn't the best visit. Our food took much longer than normal. My daughter ordered a kids cheeseburger and the size of the patty was pretty small and very overcooked. The woman who brought our food wasn't pleasant and pretty much just dropped the food in front of us. Our waitress, a different woman, was pleasant and personable. If this had been our first visit, we probably wouldn't return. Since we have been to this location upwards of 10-15 times, we will be back and just assume it was one bad visit. I'll give this location 4 stars because all the previous visits were fine.

    Drunken Philly with Beer Cheese and a side of onion rings

    The food and service were great! Georgia was our server and she was very attentive. She checked on us regularly and made sure our glasses were never empty. We'll be back!

    Cute spot close to home. The Deviled eggs were everything! So yummy. Infact, everything fried here is exceptional. My Cheesesteak was really lacking in any flavor. It also didn't have Beer Cheese on it. It really just tasted like grease. Disappointed. The burgers had delicious ingredients but again, the meat itself had no flavor. It's almost like because they fry everything amazingly they don't add seasoning? I would go back but it is a bit over priced and I was charged a "service fee". No idea why.

    Half rack of ribs.
    Meredith G.

    Sports bar vibe. Stopped in for lunch with daughter. I had the half rack of ribs. The sauce was added after cooking, so I had to eat with a fork but that easy as they were very tender and tasty. My sides were Cole slaw and potato salad, house made and very good. My daughter had the fish and chips which also came with Cole slaw. The fish was perfectly cooked and the french fries were amazing! The service was good.

    Bourbon hamburger and onion rings
    Kim P.

    Found this place on yelp. On our way to Highlands. Great place!! Wonderful waitress. Great food. Good atmosphere. We came to see Braselton after seeing a magazine article about all the bars and restaurants. We were hoping for a quaint downtown historic area but settled at Jacks despite mediocre reviews. We were not disappointed. We have eaten a lot of hamburgers- this is one of the best!!! We had the bourbon and cola with onion rings!!! Fantastic flavor. Cooked perfectly. Loved the grilled onions. And the pickle slices. Great job and the wait staff really hustles to serve you promptly.

    Mediterranean Salmon
    Alan P.

    Nice bar and grill near Buford. After our sales meeting at my company's main office a few of us came here for lunch. Very nice facility. Great bar area with a lot of TVs. Since it was lunch we didn't have drinks, but the drink selection looked good. Great appetizers: definitely get the fried pimento cheese and deviled eggs. Very good. I had the Mediterranean Salmon as my main course and it was really good as well. Staff was great. I highly recommend for lunch or dinner if you are nearby.

    We wrapped up a volunteer event nearby and this location was recommended. It is mostly an upscale bar, IMO. Huge space inside! Very large screen TV for the big game. Coveted outdoor area. Seating isn't very comfortable so be prepared. The food here is amazing. I had the Nashville Hot, which came with Nashville Hot on top of pimento Mac n cheese and a waffle. Perfect amount of hot, salty and sweet. Highly recommend! I washed it down with the Sycamore Super Fresh wheat ale, which meshed well together. It is darker in here but lots of room to spread out. Certainly recommend this place for brunch, hands down! Our server was awesome as well.

    What incredible service AND food!! But of course, it's the luck o' the Irish! I checked in at the…read morehost stand to see if we could get an outdoor table since we have our pup with us. Y'all they went above and beyond! It's been raining but the hostess didn't miss a beat- she wiped down a soaking table and chairs and even got an umbrella for us. There are 14 tables outside for varying sizes of groups. There are a few dog hookups for leashes nearby also. Our server, Abby was so attentive, kind. and not rushed. She answered our menu questions fully. Other employees came out to check on us and each was so friendly. I ordered the dinner portion of Bangers & Mash. It had 2 links vs one in the lunch portion. It was visually stunning and absolutely delectable. The brown gravy with the soft bread took me back to my childhood home. The gravy tasted like my mom's... and she is who I inherited my Irish roots from. Awesome. My husband ordered the Philly Cheesesteak. The homemade chips were fantastic. We ordered a side of onion rings. They were good but expensive for the portion. We topped off our meal with a slice of Better Than Bailey's Irish Cream Pie. The Irish cream hails from County Cork. The $6.50 slice was tiny but delicious. My half and half (Guiness and Harp) was perfectly crafted. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Shenanigan's and can only imagine how much this place hops when there is live music!

    I've come here a few times but to be honest, it's usually been after drinking around town and at…read morelocal wineries so food quality wasn't a big deal. This time we came after hiking all day and sat outside with our dogs. Ambiance-touristy Irish pub. It's a big place that still tries to be Irish-ish. They fail but it's a worthwhile effort and people seem to like it. One issue with the design-it's a huge place but they have 2-single person bathrooms-one next to the bar and one on the second floor. I don't even understand how you get a building permit with that occupancy and so few bathrooms. My wife and I each got a burger, sub veggie patty. They are getting 2 stars for the fact they don't upcharge for the vegan patty. Everyone upcharges for a veggie burger, so this is an impressive give-a-way to customers. However, I added mushrooms and roasted red peppers, which added $2 each, and gluten free sandwich bread, which was a $5 upcharge. First, those veggies should not be a $2 upcharge each. That's obnoxious. Your menu burgers have toppings and are cheaper than a plain burger with 2 veggies. But, I am not taking stars away for the upcharge. I saw them, I accepted them. My problem is that with those changes, this was a $25 burger at an Irish pub in north GA and it tasted like a $5 burger from an Irish pub in north GA. It was dry, unseasoned, and very bland. You charged me $5 for 2 slices of bread from a loaf that costs $7.99 retail. A red pepper is $0.75 cents, maybe, retail, and for a couple teaspoons you charged me $2. Who knows what mushrooms cost, but the point is, for two toppings and sub 2 slices of sandwich bread, you charged me for a high-end steakhouse burger and served me a terrible backyard grill burger. On top of that, I ordered a whiskey (knob creek) on the rocks. On my check was a $2 rocks charge. So...you charged me $2 for ice? It makes no sense. It's the same amount of liquor. When I asked the server about it, she said because they pour an extra 2 ounces in. Obviously she lied because she had no clue what she was talking about. First, why would adding ice equal and extra 2 ounces? Maybe if I asked for an up martini or something, but I am adding volume, so why would you also add liquor? Second, my whiskey was $13 and a restaurant shot is 1, maybe 1.5 ounces. Do you really mean to tell me you gave me an extra 2 shots, maybe an extra 1.33 shots of a $13 liquor for $2 only because I asked for ice? I'm not an idiot. So, poor food, lying service, and unreasonable upcharges. I'm not coming back

We had been in this part of Decatur many times and I never heard of it. We took the quick 5 minute ride over and I realized we had passed it many times. I think it had a different name last I noticed. As we approached I noticed the nice sized parking lot. A quick estimate, it could hold about 40 - 50 cars. I quickly found an open spot and walked over to the entrance. We entered and I could see the host walking toward us. He greeted us warmly, we let him know we were a party of 2 and preferred to sit outside. He informed us we could head out there and pick our own seat. We walked through the dark interior and headed outside using the side door. We found a table at the end of the patio near the front of the restaurant. There was plenty of outside seating on their patio and many of the tables were covered or had an umbrella. It was a little cooler than I expected so I ran back over to the car to pick up my jacket. I returned to the table and our friendly server came by and asked if we were ready to order. We were happy to see they had an extensive beer menu and I chose the Hi-Pitch Mosaic IPA from Hi-Wire brewing and Wifey ordered the Harp Lager. For food, we kept it simple and decided to share the Pork Nachos appetizer. Our waters came out next, and then the beers came out soon after. As we were hanging around and enjoying the patio I noticed the place was very dog friendly. The Pork Nachos arrived and were excellent. It was not a huge portion, but the perfect size for what we were looking for. The chips were crispy and the pulled pork was seasoned well. All the ingredients worked well together. We would definitely recommend the nachos if you visit Wheelhouse. Overall, this was a very good experience during our 1st visit here and we will definitely return when in the area.

The bar also has some golf arcade games if trivia isn't your thing. Staffing can sometimes be a little light, but when staying for a while and playing trivia it isn't too noticeable. Most of the food is typical bar food and for all my previous visits it was decent but nothing special.
