Nice bar with several tv's and separate dining area from bar. Service was quick and helpful. Ordered Grilled Cheese Smash patty and hot chips. Both very very good but chips was little heavy on seasoning salt. Trivia night began while I was there which seemed to have large, regulars ready to play. read more

My family and I had a lovely lunch here today. We sat outside and our server was really great. She answered a ton of questions that we had. My family all got different burgers and they each loved them. The fries were delish and the salad was so huge and yummy! I had the mahi tacos and chips and salsa. It wasn't bad but I should have went with something fattening. Bloody Mary was also delicious! Great spot! read more

Very good experience. The service was great, as was the food. Several of us got smash burgers. I find that smash burgers tend to be on the dryer side, since they are thinner. These patties were anything but. They are very juicy and flavorful. We opted for the Parmesan fried upgrade and that added an extra kick of flavor. I got to try the Island Shrimp and they were zesty and cooked perfect, no overdone and chewy shrimp. The party was very pleased. Next on the agenda to try are the mozzarella fritters! read more

They have a good burger. Polite staff. Nice place for watching the game or having family dinner.

Never again! This is my second visit and the food was edible but not good! I thought the first time was just a fluke so I gave it another try...but NO. Service was friendly but very slow. Ambiance was nice. The wings I had during the first visit tasted like they had been frozen too long (bad). My second visit I order one of their signature smash burgers... terrible (very dry, no flavor, small amount of meat) There are many other places that do a much better job. It's a great place for drinks and conversation but if you want a decent meal go elsewhere. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to go get burgers here one evening before seeing a movie at the Pointe theater. It was our first time trying them. When you first enter from the side with the parking spots, you see the bar immediately first on the left. If you walk down the hallway on the right you get to the regular seating area. There are tons of seats both inside and tables outside along with what looks like a firepit. We decided to sit inside for our meal. The restaurant looks like it has several specials throughout the week, including one night of the plain burger being on special, but we decided to try the southerwestern burger and the shroom burger one with fries and one with brussel sprouts. Both of them were tasty, but with our total being $38 for two burgers and one sweet tea, they were not phenomenal for that cost. The brussels were super tasty- definitely recommend. Maybe we'll try another special or go just for drinks, but that's alot for burgers. read more

Olivia was amazing! Great service! The buffalo mac and cheese was good and the prices were very fair.

Great lunch spot! Has a separate dining , bar and outdoor area. There were so many different options on the menu to choose from, I went with the Patty Melt and it was huge and super filling. My husband got the wings and said they were good! We had great service and they have $5 mimosas can't go wrong! read more

Went thinking it would be a nice bar to have a burger at. The bar was packed but we sat in the dining area. For being a sports bar, I felt more like I was at a plain burger joint. The lighting is too bright both in bar and dining. Makes ine feel like their dining at burger King. The burger was just ok, I got the garlic fries. Total yuck, the fries are drenched in a salad dressing and some parm sprinkled on top. Who does that? I suggest they rethink on how to make proper garlic/parm fries and toss the salad dressing into the garbage. We will not be returning read more

My friend saw a photo of a Reuben sandwich on facebook the other day, tagged me and we decided to try the place. The sandwich looked really good, which was piled high with meat. My friend and I went today and told the waitress we wanted to split the sandwich since it looked so big. Not so. While it was tasty (the French fries were great), it didn't stand up to the photo. The amount of meat was on the skimpy side. Back to the drawing board to find a good Reuben. We had very good service by our waitress. read more

I started following Spindle's on Instagram when I heard they were opening. Every post showed great pics of food and drinks so I'd been meaning to go. On this particular Monday, I saw a post for their burger night and a chance to get one free and I won! So now I had to go! It's in a nice location in Barclay and was a clean spacious place with a nice outdoor patio. The hostess was super friendly and so was our waitress. I got a choice of 6 different burgers and went with the Southwestern. It was an average burger but I really liked the fries. My husband got the trash can nachos which were good but the queso was watery and the pork needed more seasoning. They have a large menu and a lot of happy hour deals and specials so I'd check them out again. read more

This new restaurant is right across the Pointe 14 theatre. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Free Wi-Fi and the password is posted in the restaurant. The food was good, nothing spectacular. We tried the grilled salmon, Baja fish (mahi mahi) taco platter, and fish & chips. The salmon had basic seasoning but was cooked perfectly. I liked the asparagus that came with it, tender, tasted like it had fresh thyme seasoning. I didn't care for the "smashed" potatoes. It was like chunky mashed potatoes flavored with heavy cream or half and half. My partner really enjoyed his fish & chips, thought the fish was fried well and liked the Cajun sauce (mustard based). The fries were thin cut, crispy, and arrived hot. My sister in law liked that the taco platter presentation was good, tacos were in taco stands, but there wasn't much flavor in the guacamole and cabbage slaw. My partner rated the bloody mary 3/5. Our waitress Miranda gave options of different vodka. Miranda was nice, polite. Didn't see a dessert menu. All of the tables were full as it got closer to 6pm. But then again this was on a Tuesday, which is discount movie day. This place could be a good place to grab a bite to eat before or after watching a movie at the movie theater. read more

Excellent breakfast with a wide variety of choices. Convenient to lots of shops in Coligny Plaza. Dining available both inside and out.

This place was a total disappointment. I was hoping it was better than the last place that was in that spot. My friend and I got the smash burger and it was cooked like shoe leather and not a smash burger at all. Two patties cooked to death and not a smash burger that I normally love. The patties were so typical frozen over processed. They definitely get their food from Sysco or us Foods. It's horrible low quality. Our server was very nice. If you're going to get a great smash burger go to Oklahoma burger or Mess hall or mollys. No way will this place make it. read more

We would like to thank Spencer Filling Station for a great lunch. The Class of WILDCATS 1972 had 28 members there The food was great. The service was outstanding. A great time was had by all. Try them out you will not be disappointed. We plan to visit again. read more

Great food at reasonable prices! Lots to choose from and it all looks good I went with a friend at lunchtime on a Saturday. Our server was really friendly, but she kept disappearing, so we had to flag down other servers to get her for us twice. There is a patio outside for warmer weather. I brought my husband back for lunch on a Tuesday, but they don't open until 3:30, so check the hours of operation before you drive over there. Absolutely recommend this place and am looking forward to going back! read more

We were seated promptly and our server was extremely friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is very similar to when it was Tavern 17 (sports bar restaurant). We started with mozzarella balls and they were good. I did like that you had plenty of marinara and I think there was 8 of them (easy to share). For my entree I went with surf and turf. It was okay. Nothing special really (could have used some steak sauce for sure - I don't always use steak sauce only when flavor is needed). My son had chicken parm and said it was good. His portion was huge. My husband had the wagu meatloaf and liked it. He said he'd like to try something new next time. The table behind us had trash can nachos and they looked and smelled amazing! Wish we ordered that! They also ordered birthday shot flights which looked super fun! read more

Had been trying to visit this restaurant since we heard about and saw signs they were doing 25 cent wings for the month of December. The first time tried, the house was packed and it was going to be a long wait. The second time we tried, they were closed. But luck finally shined on a friend and I after we finished watching a matinee movie at The Pointe and saw they would be opening soon (holiday hours) We walked in, we're greeted and promptly seated. Haleigh took our drink order and returned promptly. She did a good job of checking in on us throughout the meal. We already knew what we had come for so that part was easy, but we also noticed that they have regular daily specials as well, so we decided to add a couple of tacos. Boneless wings had a 1lb minimum Bone-in had an 8 wing minimum. Not a problem for my friend and I. He ordered 16 bone-in buffalo wings. I ordered the pound of boneless tossed in teriyaki. We both asked for extra ranch (because duh!) which was 50cent extra per ranch. He added a pulled pork taco and a bangin' chicken taco. I ordered a bangin' shrimp taco and a Chicken BLT taco. All the food came out pretty quickly and at the same time. The wings are not breaded, which honestly I was fine with. They were flash fried. I found this to actually be helpful as I was not filling my stomach with breader. It was all chicken. The wings and sauces were good. The ranch was good (very important) The tacos were fine. I felt they could have been simplified. All the tacos came with guacamole and pico de gallo, which honestly could have been left off some of them. Pub/bar tacos aren't going to be authentic, so why not lean into enhancing their individual flavors. The chicken BLT would be good to just have lettuce, cheese and a smoky sweet bbq sauce. The bangin' shrimp would benefit from being tossed in the sauce rather than having a drizzle over it, and then add more of an Asian slaw. The chicken and beef would be fine to keep to the traditional Latin flavors, but maybe offer a side of sour cream and/or salsa for dipping. The pulled pork could have benefitted from a smoky sweet bbq sauce as well OR to give it a Carolina flair, maybe a vinegar based sauce. These are by no means deal breakers, as the tacos were only $2 - just offering possible improvements that could elevate the tacos. Overall, a good experience and already looking forward to coming back to try some of the other items on the menu. (Which I so appreciate a simple, 1-page , front and back menu) Give them a try! read more

Hey moviegoers, we now have another option for lunch at the Pointe! They are now open everyday at 11:00! Had ate lunch elsewhere, but had some extra time before the movie started, so we grabbed a couple of drinks at the bar! House margaritas were on special $5 as well as My husband's favorite, Tropical lightening! Bartender was super friendly and provided great service! On the chalkboard they showed a lot of nightly specials, Monday-Burger night, Taco Tuesday, Wine Wednesday and Hibachi entrees on Thursday! Also they were having 50c wings, 8 minimum for happy hour from 3:30-6:00! Not sure if that is everyday? So we decided to stop back in after the movies to try the wings, Buffalo and Thai Chili, both were great! Will definitely stop in again! read more

We had been dying to try this place it is just on the other side of town which isn't the most convenient. However, we made a trip to celebrate a few birthdays and it was totally worth it. Food was great. Service was a little slow considering they weren't busy. But we would totally come back! read more

NEVER EVER GO HERE Not only does the manager himself hate all of his wait staff (his exact words to me and I have a witness) but he also lets people come in here and run events such as trivia who is the most disrespectful man I've ever met in my life I got a flat coming to trivia one night and was on the phone while trivia was going on. He came over to me for cheating and tried to explain why I was on the phone and he told ME I was disrespecting HIM. Told me I couldn't play anymore and had me kicked out of the bar while waiting for the tow. The manager knowing all this, did absolutely nothing. So I ended up paying $650 to go to trivia then was told not only could I not play but was kicked out. The regulars here are also awful and some are predatory men. I suggest everyone stay out of this place in general. Also not at all handicap friendly. read more

At a night out with a friend and my Hubby, we, naturally came to Spindles. We had apps and drinks (beer & wine are 1/2 price Mon-Fri (?).) The calamari rings were very large and could have been seasoned better. But the "garbage can nachos" made up for them! Delicious, plenty of yummy toppings and a surprise entrance for 1st-time partakers! Never took leftover nachos home until then - well worth it! The carameled apple martini was amazing... x 3! Sooo GOOD! Very friendly staff who are appropriately attentive! Can't wait to go back read more

My sisters and I (The Sistas) have been coming here for quite awhile. We love the atmosphere and the food. Allen, the manager always stops by to say hello. The waitstaff is awesome. We are regulars for the Wednesday night trivia with Travis. Travis is great at his job. He is one of the reasons we keep coming back. He's picking up another night of trivia at a different location. We will follow him there. We enjoy going to the movies right there and then dinner at Spindles. It's our favorite pub read more

Ordered a Ruben on St Patty's days of all times and it was very much underwhelming. The saurkraut was cold and tasted as if it was served out of a bag from the grocery store, the corned beef was flavorless and discolored (very lite pink as if undercooked). read more

Tried this place for lunch. I had the turkey melt and it was very good and so were the fries. My wife had the chicken salad which was just okay but she got a side salad and it was big and very good, and it there was no up charge. My friends had the Rueben and they said it was very good. The staff was great. They were friendly and accommodating. I will definitely return for another visit. read more

Stayed at an area hotel and ordered pickup. On time and large portions... tasted great too!

Truly an amazing place to eat... great atmosphere... and the management is top notch! I visit there every week

After hearing good things about spindles , I had high hopes . The burger was okay at best , the bacon was so over cooked I had to pull it off the burger . The staff didn't seem inviting. They honestly seemed as if they were bothered that we were there , and payed far more attention to the regulars sitting at the bar . Later on after we got home , we both ended up sick from what be believe to be the food from here . The late night menu is pretty pointless with only 5 options and no variety. read more

Visited Spindle's with my wife and friends for the first time. Atmosphere is "comfortable sports bar". Wait staff was friendly and efficient. My Reuben was served on Rye toast. The corned beef was lean and perfectly done. The portion was generous. Others had Waygu beef, Cheese Melt sandwich and loaded skins. All enjoyed their meals and also favorably commented on the size of their portions. Spindle's is now on my favorite list. read more

We stopped in for dinner on a Saturday night around 5:30pm, party of four. We asked for a table outside, just a short wait so we ordered drinks in the bar area. Two of us ordered mixed drinks, and those were not mixed as ordered. The patio area was nice. Yes there were a couple yellow jackets we battled. The food was better than most of the reviews I'd read. The service, however was agonizingly slow. When we finished our meals we were left sitting waiting for the check. So long in fact we finally got up from our table and headed for the front of the restaurant in hopes of finding someone to take our money. Why in the world would you have a perfectly good restaurant in a great location with a nice patio and then ignore the very customers that support you? read more

I would describe this place as 'upscale bar food'. The menu is extensive with lots of options, particularly for apps. Everything sounds amazing but in some cases the execution falls short. I had the meatloaf which was good but a little heavy handed on the salt. My husband had the burger which was good, friends had the meatloaf and fish and chips, the latter of which was a little disappointing. It's really hard to get this dish right (strongly recommend Soundside if you want to see how it should be done). One dish this place nails are the fries! Perfectly cooked and just the right amount of seasoning. Prices are quite reasonable and portions are generous. Service was adequate and the atmosphere is what you would expect. No complaints there. I'd say it's a good place to stop before or after the movies but definitely not a 'destination' restaurant. read more

Fun place with awesome food and tasty cocktails. Not much more to say, well you should call ahead and reserve a table.

The food is pretty mediocre. The pretzels came out to the table actually cold and we had to tell them and then they brought out some that were warm but basically frozen pretzels that were just microwaved. Burgers were ok, the chicken tenders were pretty bad and could get better frozen ones to just bake in over. Fries are ok but nothing great. Overall not great. read more

Really horrible quality pictures but great food! Not pictured is the trash can nachos and they were fantastic. Will definitely order again! Husband loved the chicken tenders and fries. I ordered the coconut shrimp and a side of Mac n cheese. The Mac was heaven (hence why the picture was taken after several bites) but the shrimp was a little off. Kind of weird that it's just fried shrimp with coconut on top. Our waitress, Kiara, was very friendly and provided great service. We'll definitely be back! read more

Place is WAYY to overpriced for their food being so subpar. The boneless "wings" they call it are trash. maybe one inch pieces of dried up chicken, honestly so so bad. I think their drink selection is pretty boring, no ciders nothing like that for the non beer drinkers... place could use some potential read more
