My son has gone a few times with friends, I've met up friends for drinks as well. Each visit always better than the last. Recently dropped in for a lunch with my mom. She had heard good things about their fish and chips so she had to find out for herself. I can attest to the hype. These fish and chips have a crispy batter. Nice fries too. I'd order them again. The highlight here was their sliders. They added caramelized onions along with a Big Mac inspired sauce. These were bomb. Craving some more just writing this review. We were able to take advantage of the lunch specials. So for the fish and chips, pick two combo of sliders and a garden salad, and three beers our lunch total came out to $44. Pretty fair if you ask me. Our server was very attentive throughout our meal as well.

Carne Asada & Pork Belly Tacos both were tasty but the Pork Belly with the slaw Tacos were truly delectable. The salad they put out was fresh and crisp. I really wanted the burger but since we catered I am going to have to go back to try it out! Service: Above and Beyond. I spent 10 years in restaurant and another 9 in hospitality and the service at Birdies went beyond the mark of service. The one person that brought the vibe, the energy, the smile and made you feel like family...Loren. I kept telling him, I was inspired by him. Loren brought my 50th Celebration to the next level and truly made my friends, family and I feel very special and honored to be celebrating at Birdies. It is because of this experience, I will keep coming back. The bartenders were above and beyond as well. Big Mahalos to the sales team who assisted my wife and made everything easy for her. Ambiance: Clean and modern aesthetics. Half restaurant and bar. Half Golf simulator and outdoor patio. Golf simulator was awesome, my first time ever. Easy to operate, lots of fun games and the analytics were very informative of how bad of golfer I really am. Stop in for a drink, stop in for golf but stop in. Don't pass on this v

Food for "a watch bar" was surprisingly very good. Chicken tenders were the star of the show. Pickle brined tenders with great sauce on top. We had hot buffalo. Came with side of ranch and didn't have to ask for it. Last time I had Nashville hot and wished that was still on the menu We sat outdoors facing nice big screens.

I was shocked that there still so many seats available. I thought due to there was a game prior that the place would be packed and we would be lucky to get a seat. They had 2 lines to get in, the VIP line and the regular line. The line was super slow even with 3 hostesses. They were seating everyone so that is what took so much time. When we got to the front of the line they asked up if we had reservations. I had no idea that this was a reservation type of place. Next they informed us that there was a $20 cover fee. I think that is per group not per person, but I'm not really sure. For $20 we were ready to turn around and go home or to another place that didn't charge. We were totally shocked that there was an entrance fee. We had no idea that they would do something like that. We've been here once before for a Sunday NFL game and there was no cover charge. Thankfully the guy in front of us asked if it was free to sit at the outside bar and they said yes. So, after we were informed of the $20 fee we took the lead from the guy in-front of us and headed for the outdoor bar. For free you'd think the place would be packed. Thankfully it was virtually empty. We had almost any seat to choose from. We grabbed the third table, which had the best view of one of the many TVs. We're so thankful that we arrived early. As time went on the place did fill up and soon it was standing room only and people were actually standing and watching the game. We gave up our third chair to a larger party that wanted to sit together, their group did block the walkway, but no one said anything, they just went around the other side of the bar or squeezed though which was difficult. We ate dinner before we arrived to save money. Though once you see the menu you have to order something as everything looked so good. I really wanted to get the cheesecake as it was the only dessert they had. If they had a hot fudge Sunday, I would have totally got that. Instead I let my husband pick as everything looked so good and it was hard to decide. He ordered something that I wasn't eyeing, but I trusted him in his decision. He ordered the CRISPY CHICKEN & CORNBREAD PANCAKE Sweet cornbread pancakes, pickle-brined and hand-battered premium crispy chicken tenders, honey butter, maple syrup. The sweet cornbread was amazing. I love the edges, it was so buttery. The centers were also good with the honey butter, but not as good as the edges. The crispy chicken was really crispy to perfection. And it came out so hot, I almost burned my mouth it was so hot. We really didn't use the maple syrup. We dipped the chicken it it once, so as we tried it didn't really enhance the dish. Next time I'm going to just eat dinner at Tom's Watch Bar as everything looked so good. Also I've read other reviews and people have really liked the food. I though they had some sliders, but I didn't see them on the menu. They did have a Prime Rib Dip, but that isn't a slider. Sitting outside in the bar was great for the price. It did get a little chilly and I wished I had worn jeans and brought a sweater. Next time I'll check the weather for the evening and dress appropriately. I did have a jacket in the car so my husband went back to the car for me at half time and he also grabbed our emergency blanket to wrap around our legs. That really helped. They had plenty of pretty clean bathrooms. It didn't smell really refreshed, but it wasn't bad either. They had I believe 4 stalls so if there were a line it would move fast. I went right after half time in hopes there wasn't a line and there wasn't. It is a little hidden, but they are good at pointing you to it. I thought it was on the way to the kitchen and it might have been if you went right as the bathrooms are on the left. Parking at the Downtown Commons (DOCO) typically costs $6.00 per hour, with every additional 20 minutes priced at $2.00, up to a $32.00 daily maximum. During peak events at the Golden 1 Center, flat event rates often apply, and nearby garages offer varying hourly or daily rates. It cost us $18 to park. It seems like you can park at the old Macy's parking lot for $15. That's so much a better deal, but it also seems sketchy. Is it legit or are people just collecting money due to it's an empty lot. I think the price of parking is really expensive. I think we should have walked as it was daylight going there and it would be daylight going home. In addition it wasn't too hot. So back to the $20 entrance fee. Knowing this I am hesitant to return. I do see the advantage of arriving early so you can get a seat outside so that isn't bad. Arriving 30 minutes early isn't too early so it's reasonable.

The place reminds me of bars that I would have frequented in my twenties and felt strangely familiar. The bar keep/waiter was super friendly and laid back. Our party of two proceeded to order burgers, mine with regular fries and my dining companion the garlic fries. I made a few substitutions which were quickly accommodated with a smile. The burgers were soooo good! Cooked perfectly to order and the garlic fries are a must. So perfectly garlicky without any bitterness and delightfully delicious. The fries are perfectly between thin and steak, striking a balance that fits just about any preference.

Our friends ordered the mac-and-cheese grilled cheese (yes, really!) and devoured it, and the Reuben was also a huge hit. Definitely an 11/10 experience. We'd absolutely come back if we're in the area again.

As we looked thought the menu our friend remembered the bad experience he had last time with the Salmon Burger and went with the Hawaiian Impossible Burger this time. He though it was much better. My husband and I went with the BNB Cheeseburger: Topped with cheddar, hickory smoked bacon, homemade bbq sauce and an onion ring. My husband and I split it along with a side of onion rings and the three of us split a full Caesar Salad. For dessert we split the Nutella Cheesecake. The Onion rings were perfectly fried, nice and crispy. Some were tastier the others and the last couple of ones tasted better dipped in the ranch that came with the meal. The burger was very tasty and cooked to medium as requested. I really liked the BBQ sauce in the burger and didn't need the extra sauce they put on the side. The salad was plentiful and served 3 people perfectly. The Nutella cheesecake was good. I liked the crunchy bits mixed in with the Nutella, the Nutella was plentiful. The cheesecake was very fluffy. I would have preferred a denser cheesecake. As for burgers go, they have good burgers. I can't say they are the best burgers ever, but they are local and good burgers. When we got the burger we asked if we could get a sharp knife to cut it and they said the kitchen would happily cut it for us. That worked out great as no one smashed the burger as they were cutting it. I guess we could have asked for it to be cut initially. Next time we'll think of that ahead of time. Parking is ok, they have a private lot they share with the restaurant across the way and some of the spots are designed for the other restaurant so it comes tricky at times finding parking. The mosquitoes were bad inside tonight and our friend got bitten several times.
