Mullet Review said the crispy buffalo rolls were delicious. I'm not a picky eater, but this is one item that I would never order off of a menu; but knowing everything has tasted so good here, I decided to try them. And they did not disappoint. I even loved these! The cream cheese (I believe) adds a nice balance to the strong buffalo flavor. Another favorite of mine is the pork chops; fantastic! Also, the prices are all very reasonable for a place that makes everything from scratch. The only thing that could use improvement are the potato skins. The pieces were very big and so the potatoes weren't cooked enough and were hard. But the flavor was right! Great rewards program too, for discounts on future orders.

North 2nd Tap And Bottle Shop might be the coolest place for beer in Hamilton. It's not a big place…read morebut they have a big selection on tap. They allow samples and don't charge you. Atmosphere here is really cool. There's a couple rooms decorated with cool paintings. It has a pretty large selection of beers. It doesn't make any of these in house. They have a few local beers including the Middletown Brewing Company collaboration with True West, the coffee stout. It's about $5 for a 16 ounce. This is strong and thick. It tastes a lot like an iced coffee. The rest of the beers on tap are mainly from the Cincinnati or Dayton breweries including MadTree and Warped Wing. The atmosphere is the best among the bars. It doesn't get more relaxed. There is usually a show every weekend.

New owners took over in 2023 and other than the name, very little has been changed. This is business brilliance. If a good thing's been going on, don't try to reinvent it. A lot of the menu items are the same, notably the famous walleye dinner and the Pretzel bites! Some additions include a giant Pretzel and a most comforting grilled cheese sandwich. We had one of these last night, added bacon, and also a basket of fries. The fries are seasoned which is not my preference, but I'll get that grilled cheese again for sure. After trying the BLT of course. So it's got a nice big 3 sided bar, tables, bandstand, pool table, TVs, pull tabs and Keno. And a handy ATM. Plus a big smoking annex, well covered and heated, AND a bigger back patio with another stage and outdoor games. Don't be looking for craft beer, fancy cocktails or urban sophistication here. Just cold drinks, good food, fun times and fine friendly folks.

Fun! Good clean fun - and a bar to boot. This is a happy place…read more I love an arcade and this one is excellent, with three dozen or more pinball tables along with a Ms Pac Man, target shooting game, punching bag game & some other retro stuff. No Defender, sadly, but I'll make a request on my next visit. Paying for the games is done 21st Century style, with a magic card that you tap on the machine and it takes the credits you've paid for. Easy to reload your card either at the bar or a handy self-service kiosk. Speaking of the bar they have many many beers on tap. Hot food (sandwiches, spaghetti bowls, wings) is available too. I can't comment on the food as we didn't eat here but I came for the games, man. The big back room has table seating and features lots of kiddie games plus claw machines. I saw some really attractive prizes but the machine was a bit costly so observe the amount of credits before you tap. In a brilliant move there is also a row of pinball back there, so the whole family can find something to enjoy and keep the kiddies out of the bar. There is plenty of parking, most of it free on the street or in the parking lot opposite the outdoor seating area. It was great to get my hands on a pinball game and also play Pac-Man! I hope to return soon.

He sat a burger in front of one of our friends - thinking it was the right burger our friend started to munch on the fries and touched the burger. When the server realized that the order wasn't ours, he took the plate that our friend had started eating on and placed it in front of another customer - not even bothered that our friend had touched and eaten some of the food.. At that point we cancelled and left hungry. Absolutely cannot recommend this place.

The place is a block or two off the main road, in a light industrial area. The building itself looks like an old house. It is very dark in there (disorienting at first) with a long bar and some tables. On Saturday afternoon, it was bumping - there were patrons at the bar and at some tables, and they were having a good time. Everyone here knows everyone else. This is the kind of place that serves Natural Light in a can. I didn't notice any draft beer, just liquor and beer in bottles/cans. Cheap drinks. I was hoping to eat, because the one other review mentioned food (and it was on the sign) but I saw no evidence of food...no one else was eating, there were no menus, etc. I didn't ask about it; had a beer or two, listened to some others chat, watched some basketball, and took off. No one was smoking in here, but you will come out smelling like smoke. It is divey, but there's nothing wrong with it. If divey is what you're into, check it out.

I asked for a nice table, but they sat us next to the bar... I'm not sure why since the other dining room was open and no one was in there eating The food was no better than what you could get at the Denny's restaurant... the service was no better than a poorly managed diner, and the ambience was that of a slightly elevated cafeteria... Flavorless, dry salmon, a house wine that ended up being sparkling, despite the fact that it didn't claim to be so on the menu, and a waitress in blue jeans and a sweatshirt that might as well have been working at McDonald's... If you're going to claim to be a fine dining restaurant... Maybe you should pay a little more attention to the fine detail. I can't recommend this restaurant unless you're all about paying a lot of money for very little wow factor.
