Sitting on the…read morerooftop before the game and having a few beers was a great choice it was a fun spot to relax and get ready for the event. The biggest downside was the service. It was very slow, and we waited 20-30 minutes for new beers, which took away from the experience. With a place this large and busy, faster service would make a big difference. Overall, it was a fun place to pregame with great food and a great setting. I'll definitely be back to give it another try and hope the service is better next time.

When thinking about whether to visit Cowboy Jack's, ask yourself - am I the target market? If your…read moreanswer is no, you should still stop at least once to experience the rooftop bar but manage your expectations. Limited bar list, no fancy cocktails, though I was impressed with the mocktail list. We were wandering downtown and stopped in for a cold beverage on a hot day. It was perfect but not sure I will stop again unless I find myself similarly situated.

Perfectly fine restaurant & sports bar attached to the Holiday Inn by Grand Casino Arena. The food…read moreour group of four had ranged from so-so (chicken strips, chicken wings) to quite good (cheesesteak, Bavarian pretzel). Our server was Laney and she was GREAT. They were clearly understaffed and we let her know we were on a schedule. She got us in and out quickly while being very helpful with our choices and overall very pleasant. Parking is already rough enough in this neighborhood, but I think the parking ramp for this complex is an abomination. It is an enigma to penetrate on foot and a labyrinth to navigate in one's car. It is the worst parking ramp that I have ever seen. But you should still try this restaurant.

The bartender gal running the bar for the final Wolves game was literally running back and forth helping people at the bar, and waiting on 6 booth tables as well. It was amazing to watch. I asked her at the end of the night how she remembered everything and didn't seem to overwhelmed as she KU had 3 other staff members for the whole place, which btw is substantial! She said she had no idea how, but somehow she is able to manage it. The food at this place is ok at best. They have a great deal on beer and drinks though. I highly suggest you stop by for a few drinks. Order the waffle fries and seasoned sour cream. It's the heat appetizer by a landslide. This is a sports bar so if you can't deal with the smell of stale beer and cigarettes then you shouldn't go.

Keep in mind me and my friend are both Asian and we're the only people of color around the establishment. The staff neglected us and constantly ignored us when we were making a clear effort and showing signs of being ready to order. The place was not too busy and easily was over staffed for the amount of people there and still chose to ignore us. It really hurts to see this happen especially when we were excited to go. Don't recommend and will not be going back again. Plum's is taking a step in the wrong direction.

I sat on this review for a while.... We stopped in for brunch for my sisters birthday. It's not…read morereally my vibe to begin with, but I will say we had fun. Security was wack. As ridiculous as the word is, that's the equivalent of security. They were not cordial, had no service and couldn't simply hold the door open for two 40+ women on a Sunday after 2pm. I found that distasteful. There doesn't appear to be any communication between door hostess and those seating. We were getting 2 different stories. We didn't know that you couldn't make reservations day of, so you couldn't be seated indoors and/or order food (only drinks) until a certain time frame, which sounded like the hour of seating so all orders can go in together at the same time across the restaurant. They were extremely packed. We were then seated outdoors. Outdoors = picnic tables on the sidewalk on dirty 6th street. I was NOT feeling that. The lady who sat us was kind enough to find us a table indoors. She informed us it wasn't the best table, but I did not care, it was NOT ON 6TH STREET. Ambiance is definitely on the ratchet meets a lituation type vibe. The music was good. I'm old and knew no songs LOL, but it was definitely a vibe. The decor was really nice. There were photo opportunities and a picture wall. There's a full bar and a dj that spinning the whole time you're there. They're taking song requests, we had a birthday complimentary bottle of champagne. I think you need to ask for it in order to get it. Everyone there is like 21-35, if that. We were overdressed because it was club attire. I wasn't feeling the bathrooms. As much money as they bring in, on a Sunday ALONE, they could fix the toilet paper roll. The food was okay. I don't know if ppl actually come here for food, maybe more for drinks, music and the vibe? The service from all the waitress was friendly and professional. The hostess wasn't rude, but she wasn't pleasant either. Not really my vibe, but if I ever want a ratchet Sunday brunch, I know where to go.

Bunny's is an SLP classic and so we had to venture to it eventually…read more FOOD: The food was basic but reliable and they have a very expansive menu. I got a rather simple item (a salad) so this is skewed by that but I plan to try other items on their large menu soon. SERVICE: friendly and attentive PARKING: easy in their large lot AMBIANCE: diner/restaurant feel, casual. Not too loud but not noticeably quiet either-- good for friends/family/groups.

Ordered with the bartender since that seemed to be the only wait staff on duty. She's nice and I place an order for pho and spring rolls. The spring rolls were decent but one of the two fall apart. The wrapper was to soft. The peanut sauce looked watery but had a good peanut taste. The pho came out hot (per the bartenders touch of the bowl). Broth was lacking in flavor. Didn't have unquie pho taste. There plenty of noodles and meat even though the one size bowl looks like a small. The atmosphere is calm.

I stopped by for dinner on a Tuesday and it was pleasantly busy. My server Addison was right there to answer questions about the menu. I (of course) ordered the Reuben and three sides. I expected the sides to be small and I was surprised at how large they were. And they all were outstanding. The onion rings were large, thick, and crispy. A side order has about a dozen rings. The crock of mac & cheese has a delightful kick and when I asked Addison about it she said they make it with their queso. The bowl of Cowboy beans also has a kick and a nice smokiness. While I was eating, both managers - Amy and Jeff - stopped by to see how I was enjoying my meal, which was nice. Finally, the Reuben. I was pleased to see the corned beef was shredded but unfortunately it was very dry and tough. I wanted to cut one half into two pieces but I couldn't with my table knife. The flavor was good, the marble rye nicely grilled. It could have used a LOT more sauerkraut because the meat:kraut ratio was meat heavy. Overall a delicious meal but next time I'll try one of their burgers.

It's definitely a bit dark inside but it fits the mood of a typical bar. I never come here for the bar-life atmosphere, so I won't comment on that but I do enjoy the food they serve for happy hour. I ordered the wings, cheese curds and fried pickles, and all hit the spot when you're craving something fried and salty. I would say I prefer these wings over buffalo wild wings, although the sauce options are a bit limited. Cheese curds and fried pickles aren't amazing but again, they are pretty standard and
