Their bartenders are friendly and so are the other patrons. Sitting at the bar, all conversations overlap and everyone participates. I've been back several times since my first visit. I mainly come for the Kobe Burger at lunchtime. A cold beer, burger and a basket of crisp fries always hits the spot. Their Friday and Saturday Steak Specials are pretty damn good, too. One visit I added, shrimp. A Caesar Salad, Steak with 3 Shrimp and a Baked Potato made for a great meal. I kept telling myself to try the pizza, so the next time I go for lunch, I will order pizza instead of my typical Kobe Burger.

When a bar caters to a blue collar crowd, you know the drinks are going to be good and the food is going to be delicious comfort bar food. I discovered RJ's from a local monthly coupon magazine that is delivered in the mail. On my first visit, I glanced over the menu and then noticed a flier with daily specials for the month. By chance, the day I was visiting the special was 8 piece wings and fries. I was sold, especially because I got decide between breaded or naked. I prefer my wings naked, so that was a win. They offered four different sauces available. I asked the bartender which one she recommended and she suggested the one I was leaning towards - Sweet & Spicy. I'm a counter, I like to have the same amount of flats and drums. I favor drums, so I wasn't too disappointed when my order had 5 drums and 3 flats. The sauce lived up to its name, it had a nice tang and my fingers didn't get too sticky while eating. The fries were crinkle, which is my favorite right behind house-cut. They were super crispy and not overly salty. Wings for lunch is always a win for me. They didn't have much of a selection of craft beers and had no IPA's. So I enjoyed a, Blue Moon. The bartender was attentive, but not overly friendly. The staff looked at me as if I didn't belong. It was my first time, I am sure once I return, they'll be warmer. I'm learning as I adjust to my new hood, that the neighborhood places are truly neighborhood favorites. I did get a giggle that they sold Yankee Candles behind the bar. They also made me smile, by having hooks under the bar. The charms of a dive bar will always surprise.

Went there for lunch. Had the Italian beef. It had a good flavor but was too soupy for my liking…read more The onion rings were very good and would recommend them. We were a large group, they apologized up front as to a wait, but the food came out pretty quick. Overall I was not disappointed with the overal experience.

She wouldn't open a fresh bottle and told me "all the open wines are old because they don't sell a lot of wine" so, my option was old spoiled wine or no wine. First in my lifetime a bartender refused to open fresh wine AND she didn't refund us for the returned spoiled wine. What an unprofessional, classless and disrespectful bartender. Been there several times with different bartender who was great. That one ruined the experience. Unfortunately. May 01, 2022.

They can make you a classic cocktail, a simple liquor and mixer drink, or one of their specialty cocktails. My personal favorite from the specialty menu is, "I'll Have What Phil is Having". Imagine a cocktail if an, Old Fashioned and Manhattan could have a baby. It's taking the best of each of those classic cocktails and combining them into one. Thursday nights are for Trivia. This past Thursday, I thought they were too easy, but they got harder and harder as the rounds progressed. I still did okay, but some had me saying, What? Who? and Where? Occasionally on the week-ends you'll be lucky to catch live music. It's all outside, don't you don't have to worry about it being too loud. Listening to local musicians, helps the cocktails go down smoothly. The Brydies food truck is always there and at times you'll see a guest food trucks offering more variety. As stated earlier, the bartenders are awesome. However, sometimes I worry about myself, because a bartender at a food truck park knows my name and what I drink.

The bar is awesome, love that it's locally owned. The drinks were SO GOOD. I wanted to keep drinking!! We ended up at the truck with the different types of loaded fries and woahhhhh so good. The hardest part was trying to figure out which flavor profile we wanted because all the options seemed so delicious. Such a cool spot in a great location. We will definitely be back.

I'm so excited for Alton - this place looks awesome! A good mix of adult and family fun. The bar area had a row of alcoholic slushies which I'm super excited to try! The food menu appeared to be extensive enough - wings, pizza, fries - what you'd expect at an event center. The service itself appeared to be pretty quick as they kept calling out orders. The building itself (split level with a basement) had games on each floor! I'm talking about Mario Kart, Guitar Hero, Connect 4, VR gaming, old school arcade games, pinball, racing, karaoke. Multiple options to choose from, wall to wall! I look forward to visiting again soon!

I'm not going to lie. I was a little nervous when I pulled up and the parking lot was empty because…read moreI'm always leery about going to empty restaurants. We got inside there were a few people and it didn't take us long to get seated. They had tables and slot machines and a full bar. They also had pool tables in the back that people were playing at. As we were there longer more people starting to come. I loved the server that we had because she was running all around the restaurant by herself. There was another server in attendance who pretty much the whole time I was there for an hour, she was talking to the table behind us, I was kind of disappointed that our server was left to mingle all the tables, but she was doing a great job so shout out to her and she had the cutest little belly bump! The food was excellent. Everything we had was good. We originally came there from a Taco Tuesday advertisement that we seen on Facebook, but I didn't see anything about it when we got there until we were leaving and it was posted right by the door so I was a little disappointed that we didn't get to try tacos but it just gives me a reason to come back.

( we did not partake today) maybe sometime soon! My friend had their avocado toast which looked amazing. ( I personally do not eat avocado) her boyfriend had the breakfast pizza which is personal pan size. I on the other hand went big or go home. I had the breakfast poutine. Which did not disappoint! Their homemade sausage gravy was to die for!! It's loaded with potatoes and fried cheese curds. I added eg for $2 additional. Talk about food coma! We just drank coffee and water. The ladies taking and brining out our orders were very kind. I don't think they were prepared for the crowd after the gingerbread run. It wasn't too bad. They did kindly inform us if we did want the mimosa flight it may take a bit to come out. Copper fire you outdid it this time on the food!!
