We waited 40 minutes to place an order and another 40 minutes for them to turn on the spurs game that myself and several other patrons requested. It's a cute bar, but we didn't even get to try the food because we were waiting for so long. No one is making you work there ladies... if you don't want to work, go home. Needs new staff and probably better management to ensure that "people skills," and respect are still being implemented as part of their training.

Being the oldest bar in town, this place deserves a Legacy of Time award for being consistently…read moreawesome. If these walls could talk, they'd probably have some wild stories--and they'd all pair perfectly with a cold draft beer and great drinks Like stepping into a place where everybody either knows your name or pretends to because they're just that friendly. If you haven't been here yet, fix that. History, great food, and top-notch drinks--what more do you need?

First off I would give it 3.5 stars if I could. Very cool bar. Very historic. Menu is limited. I…read morewould stick with the smash burger. Didn't really dig the taco. Totino's pizza rolls is a nice twist. Place is more of a bar, with a bar vibe. We went for lunch so it was fine. Not sure what the night crowd would be like. Tons of TVs and pool tables and a shuffleboard game. Cool music playing too. Would come back for drinks for sure. Service was friendly.

The crowd that was in there that afternoon was a crowd that I would hang out with. altogether the place was clean, friendly, fun and me and my three friends enjoyed ourselves.(maybe a little too much). we also like the smoking area that was outside, and it was even clean. me and my friends would highly recommend this place. #Memorial weekend, 2026.

I took my family here for a night out and the whole experience was awful, the employees were complaining about how the owner is a B word, and that she doesn't know how to run a business in front of everybody! the other manager on duty was so high he couldn't keep his eyes open, his name was Brandon I think? the food is awful and took over 45 minutes to be made on a slow night it was only us and two other families, the bathrooms were nasty we saw roaches crawling around the bowling balls, it smelled like pee and there were drunk people causing issues with other bowlers. I don't recommend this place at all spend a little bit more money and go to a nicer bowling alley a bit further away, it's ran by a bunch of high young kids who don't care and a manager who thinks she's entitled because she owns a dump!

Because of sending back frozen mushrooms, my chicken strips were overfried and dry. My daughters club sandwich was amazing and my other daughters burger was good.

Out of towners spending the night in Centerville. We found the Pit and Pony on Yelp (thanks Yelp)…read more It is a very popular place paying homage to Centerville's past. There is good variety on the menu with very fair prices. They were busy so we chose to sit at the bar. At our request baseball was put on our nearby screens. It's a long narrow tavern that has been preserved very well. The clientele seemed like regulars and the waitstaff was excellent. This one's a five star place in its category. It's on an Attractive and fairly active town square with amble parking. Pictures were tough without disturbing other guests but it is definitely a pleasant environment.

It was pretty unbelievable that any "cook" would serve such an empty sandwich. It was more like two pieces of bread with the flavor of turkey but zero bacon flavor. Don't bother stopping, keep driving. No wonder at lunch, the place was not busy. Waitress kept trying to defend by saying that they have specific portions for sandwiches. Nope, not good enough. I'd rather eat at McDonalds.
