Bummed bc that was the only reason we went. Either way, we ended up grabbing a few things to snack on such as a quesadilla, wings, mussels and chips and salsa. Wings were really delicious. Nice and crispy and very flavorful. There music was a VIBE! So many throwbacks and the ambiance was amazing. Im sure Karaoke wouldve made it top notch but either way had a good time and would come back if we are ever visiting again.

First visit....Father's Day 2025....we went as a family to celebrate! Right on Dot Ave. The traffic…read moreon 93 and then Columbia Rd and Dot Ave was very tough but we made it. Parked around the back on a side street. Upon entry, I was surprised at how big the restaurant was. The music was jumping and they have a bunch of tv's with all sorts of sports playing (US Open). We were quickly seated and ordered some drinks. Our waitress was solid. She knew the menu and was on top of things from the start! We started with some drinks and mozzarella sticks (see pic). They were top notch delicious! The only issue was the number of sticks...only 4 but they were good! We then ordered our main dish. Again, the service was great and the wide amount of choices on the menu was fantastic. I had a BBQ chicken dinner with fries. We ordered two fish tacos and a chipotle turkey sandwich with some sides! BBQ Chicken- great taste and perfectly cooked Turkey Sandwich- just the right amount of sauce and fresh! Fish tacos- big and tasty! While we waited, we all realized how loud the music was. It was not terrible but it was louder than we were use to. Especially for a Sunday afternoon. Probably Sirius XM as the category was all the same and no stoppage! Our food came and we were all thrilled. I took some pictures of each plate before we ate and I am glad that I did because the food went quickly off the plates! Good stop....happy I visited! Vibe- casual Price- fair Parking- side streets and Dot Ave Staff- very nice

We were advised light snacks so figured we should probably get a base before heading that way. We walked in to the coolest Irish pub that opened up in the back. It was way bigger than I expected. We quickly ordered drinks and I ordered a Moscow mule (my go to). It was in a copper mug and absolutely delicious. My husband ordered a beer, which he enjoyed too. We ordered some oysters and corn ribs for an appetizer. I had never had corn ribs before and was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I split the fish and chips and I'm really glad we did. The fish was extremely large and almost filled the plate. It was crispy and delicious. It was definitely well made. The sauce on the side was even better, too. Highly recommend this place for a quick bite and a pint.

Super relaxed atmosphere and tv's, so it would be a great place to watch a game. Friendly bartender and the fish and chips was good. They also have pizzas that looked great. My friend had a pesto with burrata and she said it was awesome. They also have gluten-free pizza, whihc is good to know. Our table neighbor had the pork chop, which also looked great. They have a small parking lot, which would fill up quickly. We went on a very "off" time, so we were able to park in that lot. Otherwise, you'd need to find street parking.

It certainly won't be the last because I definitely will come back for a drag brunch, drag show, and or dance party! The servers were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was lively decorated. There were many tv screens and a large projector on the main wall for everyone to watch. Not a bad seat in the house! Many tables and booths were filled with couples and parties. It's highly recommended to book a reservation for a spot. And there were plenty of street parking available. And did I mention that the food was delicious?? Don't sleep on the beef empanadas! The spicy sauce and guava sauce perfectly complemented the fried bites. The legendary steak tips were perfectly cooked and so tender. It was paired with a Mac salad and French fries. The half chicken was also surprisingly filling and satisfying. Both dark meat and white meat are served with green beans and mashed potatoes. The whole meal left no crumbs. Come to Blend for a good time and leave with a belly so full!

Monday night had live music and whoever was singing was awesome- didn't want him to stop! Our server was super friendly and came by to check on us often, with perfect timing. The food was incredible and hit a craving I didn't know I had. The Jameson burger was massive, patty about an inch thick. The blackened chicken sandwich was on fresh ciabatta, and the chicken was perfectly juicy... I could have eaten two it was so good. The fries are very thick and not overly fried yet still crispy, also some of the best I've had in a while. I will absolutely be returning.

Saw photos of their smash burgers and knew that I had to stop by and give it a try…read more Here are the items we tried (as of 2/2026) - Chopped Caesar - $13 - Nicely dressed with some bacon bits on it. Overall nothing special. - Basket O' Fries - $8 (for the classic style) - Flavor wise, this was something we weren't expecting. We had assumed that it would be plain fries, but for some reason it tasted as though it was dusted with a Cajun seasoning. While the fries themselves were nice and crispy, we were not fans of the seasoning (there's no mention of it in the description). Be warned if you're expecting plain fries. Not sure if it was supposed to come like this or not. - "Hell Yeah" Burger - $22 - This was what I came here for and once again (there's a theme here), it wasn't quite what I was expecting. The burger itself was pretty good as it was two 4 oz patties smashed and went well with the other ingredients. The thing that was unexpected was the patties being marinated in a whisky marinade. If you love the flavor of whisky, then this will definitely be for you as I did taste a hint of it in the burger. Unfortunately for me, I enjoy the flavor of beef in a good burger and the marinade masked a lot of it. I do wish there was an option to get patties that aren't marinated. - Nashville Hot Chicken - $16 - A pretty good fried chicken sandwich. To me it was a little heavy on the Cajun seasoning but I really enjoyed the juiciness of the chicken. I'd get this again. Another thing to note is when we were there you order at the bar as there was no strict table service. The food itself was well prepared and the prices are definitely reasonable. The flavors however, didn't quite hit for me, but it may for you!
