    Food is as mid as this duck tape job in the women's bathroom. I coulda done better....that said, kudos to the manager on duty for replacing the two chicken strips with a better sauce than the mango habanero we originally ordered. Recommend the sriracha honey in lieu. I really wanted this place to deliver more than bowling alley food. Note, beer selection is awesome, however, I'd need a few to think this food is worth the price. Literally 4th St bowling has better food for better pricing than this. Ordered chips and queso, strips w sauce, Bavarian pretzel and a few local ipas. Those local IPA's saved the day. The sweet lady that took our order (table 14) and the manager also add to the positive experience. It's sad that they have to work with mid chain food...spraying perfume on a casket...and make it look/taste nice. They have a tough job. Plea to smokeaters chain, stop cutting corners, serve better food, stop the order at the register stuff (pressure for new customers to decide quickly). Get back to basics. Just because you in the bay doesn't mean you have to bay.

    We went on a Sunday evening and it went great! I will say this plaza is busy so parking nearby isn't guaranteed, but there is a lot of parking available a bit further away. We decided to sit outside and had to scan a QR code to order. Our order came out in a reasonable time and the wings were delicious! We ordered 25 wings, curly fries, a long island & a beer. The game was playing on the TV and there were umbrellas to provide shade for the tables. The fountain drinks were free refills which my brother enjoyed! I definitely would come again :)

    Went to watch the As game and had some good food and drinks paired with. The spicy margarita was delicious from the bar my girl highly recommends saying it's a better spicy marg than usual. The burger has fried jalapeño which is different than most places. Good place always to catch sports or fights. Only downside of the meal was mozzarella sticks. But that's just cause chilis got those on lock.

    Pig in a Smoke One of two locations for this local franchise that began in 1995 and saw a rise in fame after their Hellfire Challenge™ (ten minutes to eat a dozen wings with no liquids and a five minute afterburn) was featured on Man vs Food (S1:E15). We used to go to their DTSJ location for our fantasy football draft parties, but after it closed three years ago, we decided to stick with tradition and come to this Almaden Valley location. The Good: *Service is pretty good overall, as I've yet to have a bad interaction. *Fast-casual order and pay at the counter but they bring the food out to you. *I usually stick with the chicken tenders and they're usually very crispy and come out piping hot. I recommend getting the sauce on side to prevent the crisp coating from getting soggy. *Absolutely fantastic beer list that includes some ciders on-tap, as well. *Outdoor dog-friendly seating *Happy Hour M-F 3-6 p.m. 20%-off finger foods; $1 off drafts; $2off wine; and some $8 app specials. *Tons--and I mean TONS--of TVs around. Even if you're outside, don't worry they got you covered. Not a bad seat in the house. The Meh: *Ordered the Philly Cheesesteak egg rolls off a recommendation by another fantasy player and it was just OK, but my biggest gripe is the egg roll wrapper tasted like uncooked flour. =Z The Ugly: *The interior can get VERY NOISY!! SO IF THERE'S SOMEONE YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK TO, THEN BRING THEM HERE! *Their "Fiery Garlic" sauce gave me some of the most rank farts ever. "Holy-fucking-shit what died in my asshole?!" kinda farts, ja feel? Conclusion: Superb beer selection, tasty bar bites, and a great atmosphere keeps us coming back here.

    My go to order is Atomic Tenders Sauce on them, Basket of Cheese Fries, Paired with a Blue Moon. Doesn't get much better than that!

    Overall, decent! My work went here for an event and we got a lot of drinks. I was surprised that they made an espresso martini for me. Their "Nashville hot" chicken wasn't that hot as I only got it in habanero spicy. I wouldn't consider this a great Nashville sandwich as it didn't have enough oil or heavy spice on it that made the sandwich pop. However their pickles and slaw were very nice! All the appetizers we got were nice and hot. I'd say the service was very nice and the outdoor patio very clean. Wouldn't come regularly but for a work event, would be great!

    Came here for happy hour after work and noticed it's a very causal dine-in restaurant as you order and then find your seat. It's your standard American dine-in bar as they have beers on tap and have your typical American finger foods. Finger foods (5/5): We onion rings, garlic fries, tater tots, and salad. They were all amazing and comforting. Royal Burger (5/5): This burger consisted of white cheddar, bacon, garlic aioli, and carmelized onions. Also came with my choice of fries. It was great and everything you wanted for a burger. Mai Tai IPA (5/5): I definitely recommend this if you like cocktails and IPA. It was strong for an IPA, which I liked. Come here for happy hour!

    I really like this place, as long as you know to level set your recommendations. It's a beer and wings spot - with lots of TVs that are loud both inside and outside. Outside has picnics tables with umbrellas and TVs which we always opt for if the weather is nice. You wait in line and order at the counter, grab a number, and they bring your food to you at your table. Their menu has a bit of something for everyone - from many wing options, sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. They have a lot of varying craft beers and it's got somewhat of a fancy dive vibe. Their wings and tenders are great and they have varying sauces from mild to super hot. I love their steak salad and their buffalo tender salad - to balance out the beer. Their ranch is hands down the BEST and you need to get some to dip your fries into.

    THANKFUL this place still stands its ground! really miss the OG sm0ke eaters off of 3rd st. :( but this is definitely my go to location now--and has been for a few years now! got our usual; atomic tenders & a side of fries. perfectly sauced and fried to perfection! *chefs kiss* i normally don't dine in here, but we decided to enjoy our food outside since the weather is just perfect. i love that they continue to offer crafty cocktails w limited edition menus ~ inside bar is great, offering draft beer and plenty of seating in/outside. food service was & is normally pretty fast, even when it can be slightly busy. only con i have to mention is the seating outside can be pretty dirty.. i always need to clean where i want to sit. it's definitely not as maintained as the inside of the place.

    Ribeye Philly cheesesteak egg rolls 100/10! Definitely taste better than they look. Get these, you won't regret it :)

    When I went to pay it automatically tipped for me, I don't appreciate that, then on the way home I realize half my order missing.

    Why would you promote outside seating when all of your heating lamps don't work. This is poor management.

(4 1/2 shits ) My date enjoyed the mai tai, he said it was dangerous because it tasted too good and too easy to drink. (It had 1 1/2 shots ) They have a good amount of TVs to watch sports we watched FIFA World Cup . They have spacious indoor and outdoor seating covered patio area with heaters if you're cold. Chicken nachos were definitely big enough to share between 3 people . Cool place for a chill date. They have an indoor and outdoor bar seating area.

    My mother reserved a table for six, and while we were seated promptly upon arrival, unfortunately,…read morethe positive experience ended there. After being seated, our table went unnoticed for approximately 15 minutes despite multiple staff members passing by. When I approached a staff member with a black bun in her hair to ask for assistance, I was asked, "Were you seated by a staff member, or did you seat yourself?" After explaining that we had a reservation and had been seated, I was told, "Someone will be right there." It was another five minutes before our server came to the table. When he attempted to walk away after taking our drink orders, we had to stop him to place our food order as well. Our drinks then took an additional 20 minutes to arrive. They were only brought out after I asked a passing bartender for assistance, who then had to locate our server and remind him that our table had not received our drinks. Unfortunately, the issues continued with the food. I was extremely disappointed to learn that the fried calamari is made with imitation squid, and the quality of the remaining dishes was unacceptable. My quesadilla appeared to have been microwaved, resulting in one half being cold while the other half was excessively hot. My mother's flautas were soggy, falling apart, and not served at an acceptable standard. Additionally, we requested waters from our server three separate times, and they were never brought to our table, as well as refills of the drinks we currently had were never offered. What was most disappointing was seeing other tables that were seated after us receive attentive service while our table was repeatedly overlooked. I would appreciate clarification regarding what happened during our visit and how this situation will be addressed moving forward.
