    Service depends on the night and the staff. The fries are way too good and is on the top of my list for cheesy bacon fries. Pretty big wings and you can have them naked or breaded. No blockers on artists or genres on music so that's a plus. Two pool tables and an outdoor patio. Parking lot needs lots of TLC.

    Sit at the bar or anywhere here. Kaylee and Destiny are the most amazing.

    New to Columbus and this is my new favorite dive. The people are unmatched. If you are looking to see a game and have good drinks/excellent food... come here. You will be loved on and welcomed. I sat at the bar and enjoyed everything was a 10/10. I will be back weekly if not more often.

    WHOOAAAA!! If you like chicken wings, this place is LEGIT. It is the definition of a hole in the wall bar. The customer service was fantastic (Kalee was our bartender and was great), the patrons were super friendly, they have two pool tables (they looked as if they were in pretty bad shape), electronic darts, a bowling and putt putt game, TouchTunes and Keno. Okay, NOW onto the wing review! HOLY MOLY! We have a contender for the top wing spot in Central Ohio!!! I ordered five Spicy Garlic and five Cajun Honeay (all flat and extra crispy of course). The chicken was super fresh, the flavor and spice were on point, and the wings weren't that greasy. My only complaint is that they could have been more crispy. I have said this before, if you have a good product, have good ranch! Make it house made! Oh yeah, and their Truth IPA was super fresh. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend! The Spicy Garlic and Cajun Honeay: 9.4/10 Ranch: 5.1/10 For all of you who rave about Shaker's, Mean Mugs, Pastimes, Roosters and Blu-Willy's, trust me when I say that those places don't even compare to this place, and you need to make the drive to Lovell's to check it out. I take my reviews very seriously and I believe I gave Shakers a 5.1/10, Mean Mugs 8.1/10, Blu-Willy's drums 2.1/10 and their flats a 7.3/10, and Roadhouse a 9.3/10. Onto the BONUS Review: I tried the pizza since I saw a couple of tables order it. 6.5/10

    If you are looking for a small town American tavern that has some of the best damn wings this is your spot. I'm sure the regulars don't want this place to be discovered. As a simple man that loves great food I found this little place to be a gem in a bigger city. You had the regulars sitting elbow to elbow at the bar drinking and having a great time but when a keg needed changed they helped the young lady behind the bar. She greeted me with can I get you a drink? I replied yes she followed up with "would you like some really good food?" She wasn't lying. I ordered 10 wings (89 cent wings on Tuesday ) and loaded fries. You do have to pay a little extra for breaded but they were not thick breading it was just enough to hold the sauce. The loaded fries looked like some kind of curly steak fry and I'm telling you it worked!! If you don't care for loud music, lack of ambience, and locals having a good time then Applebees is probably more of your vibe. But if you want good people fantastic food and cold beer man don't sleep on this spot. I went last night and am considering going back today! Only thing is I wish the hot sauce on the wings was hotter.

    Very good lunch. Cool tavern with good food and great service. Wish I had time to stay for a couple beers. I would recommend and would definitely go back. I had the Blue and Bacon burger and cheese sticks. All good and hot and served quickly.

    This was a pleasant experience. I wasn't expecting much since it was a tiny bar, but I enjoyed myself. We were on our way to Vance's and wanted some pizza. We seen this pop up on Google and thought we'd give it a try. The blonde waitress was very friendly and helpful. We ended up getting the large with double pepperoni and easy on the cheese. Man, that was delicious. I want more already and I just had some yesterday. I think they could use a little bit of light in there because it was pretty dark. I will be back. If you're nervous like me about scuffing up your rims, be careful of their parking lot. It needs some attention. Other than that, I can't wait to come back and try their wings.

    Beautiful looking burger and fries.. equally delicious!

    Came here on Tuesday for 60 cent wings and was delighted at how much more I liked it than I expected to! The wings and service were awesome!

    Great food and great people, best bar on the southeast side of Columbus. Great place to watch a buckeye game.
