WE WILL NOT BE RETURNING UNTIL THE REAL DART BOARDS GO BACK ON THE WALLS!!!!!!!!!!!…read moreWe usually love 8ball because it's the ONLY spot in town with a real dart board and the right vibe. darts are usually free and it's great, we come with our friends all the time. unfortunately, i had to walk into the bar yesterday and see the plastic abomination on the wall. our favorite bouncer agreed that it's ridiculous and the new plastic electronic dart boards were malfunctioning. we cannot allow this to go on!!!! please give us back the real deal!!! not everyone wants to stare at bright neon lights while they throw darts. this is an abomination.

I didn't give it full stars because the steak sandwich is beef processed sliced meat and not shaved steak. My steak and cheese was disappointing. The steak was rubbery sandwich slices. That's were the negative ends though. Drinks are stout, service is great. Crowd is great and so down home. We visited on a Tuesday night with is karaoke night! Starts at 7pm and until 10p when the place closes. Great hours for a weeknight. Comfy booths and tables. We live just a few miles south and happy to put Smitty's back into our dinner rotation.

They don't serve any food though, so might not be a good choice if you're hungry. - Dogfish Head Grateful Dead IPA: 10000/10 (an amazing, refreshing IPA that isn't too strong! Medium-bodied, pretty fruit-forward with notes of pineapple and mango. Honestly one of the best IPAs I've had in a whileee) - Kasteel Wit: 9/10 (light-body wheat beer that's also super refreshing and flavorful!) - Hacker Pschor Oktoberfest: 10/10 (great marzen) - Rhineheist Cheetah lager: 8/10 (decent lager) - Guinness: 6/10 (the Guinness was wayyyyy too watery!!!) - Ferndale Project Apple Pie: 9/10 (actually tastes like apple pie and vanilla! It's def on the sweeter side though, so you might not like it if you're not into sweet beer) Overall, I definitely want to come back and sit outside when the weather is nicer!

I have had the french dip and a chicken cordon bleu sandwich, both of them were awesome and quickly devoured. My only complaint and drop of a star is the volume. It is super loud in there all the time. Tried having a business meeting on one visit and it was difficult to hear.

On the visit today had the walnut walleye and the shrimp lobster pasta. The pasta was good but the recipe was less flavorful and tangy than before. Ingredients were changed and not the unique flavor from the Craig Commons era. The pear salad and rolls were delicious. The walleye was a big disappointment. The dish came out hot and fresh from the kitchen but fish was soft and mushy and either lower quality or refrozen or just not first rate. Our expectations for this level of restaurant are much higher. Likely will try again but for a 150 dollar dinner with tip for two entrees and two glasses of wine that aren't first rate is not worth my time. The waitress was great. But a somehow a large table of eight people next to us had a major order screw up that required smoozing from several manager types to repair. Disappointed. Craig Common prices but not Craig Common quality or service.
