    While in the Greensboro area, we popped into Box Seat Sports Restaurant for a quick lunch. They have plenty of tables and we were seated immediately. Our waiter took or order quickly and our food did not take long to come out. I had the Philly with crinkle fries, and it was quite tasty. My wife got the potato skins and side salad, and she was equally pleased. It is definitely a sports bar vibe with TVs everywhere.

    This is a fun bar to enjoy if you are looking for drinks, entertainment or food. I enjoyed hanging out for an afternoon and evening on the spacious patio and inside for a more intimate experience. There are many friendly patrons, bartenders, staff and yummy food. I came for a birthday event and met some wonderful people. The weather was good so we sat outside after we ate. A great space to enjoy. After a while we decided to come back inside and found that the owner had hired a musician to keep the vibes going. A great night and a good experience. Check it out maybe it will be your next "Cheers" bar!

    Soon after relocating to the area, someone recommended we give Box Seat a try. We have now been frequenting this place for a little over a year and after trying a few different menu items, the Tex-Mex dunk has become our go to sandwich. It is just delicious and their tater tots are great and now our favorite side! We've also had the smorhered potato appetizer and the potato skins- both great options as well. We prefer to sit at the bar and the bartenders we have had have been great. The mixed cocktails we have tried have been fabulous. Now for the only negative. We came here originally out of curiosity for the BBQ stuffed hushpuppies as recommended & they quickly became our favorite, however; something changed with them when we ordered them on May 1st and even after the bartender agreeing that they weren't right and she had them remade- they still weren't the same :( The fact the BBQ sauce is a thicker/sweet sauce (think Sweet Baby Ray's) rather than the traditional vinegar BBQ sauce most places here have is part of why we loved them. Unfortunately on May 1st, they came out the first time as though a hot sauce (think Cholula) was drizzled on them rather than BBQ and when they came out the second time they still tasted like hot sauce. If this had been our first time trying them, I would NOT order them again and probably wouldn't have come back. I am skeptical now of ordering them again even knowing what they should be. Bottom line- if you want a chill vibe with some great food and drinks- check this place out!

    Finally made it to this spot after having worked at the nearby climbing gym for over a year now! It's walkable from Duckus but I drove over after my shift because I was on the way out of town and didn't have a lot of time. Enjoyed a glass of Prosecco and shared some onion rings. It was nice to be able to sit outside on a relatively cooler day while some other patrons were playing cornhole and just having a good time. Guinness pints for only $5.5 too! Our server was friendly and attentive throughout our stay. I would definitely come back to try one of their entrees! @azfitfoodfun

    BBQ Stuffed Hushpuppies

    I've been coming here for years and just realized I've never left a review. This place has been part of the community for over 30 years, and through all that time one thing has remained constant: the food. It's always been high quality and consistently excellent, which speaks volumes about a kitchen team that has been here for many, many years. Like any long-standing restaurant, there have been ups and downs. Service has occasionally been hit or miss, and the atmosphere shifted for a while from its classic sports-bar feel to a younger crowd. Lately, though, it feels like things are finding their way back to the "old days" -- in the best way. If you value great food made by people who clearly care, this place is worth supporting and sticking with. They did used to offer half price wing night and they did lose some business when it ended, but their wings are phenomenal and I can imagine they'd struggle to stay open with that offering in today's economy. I'll pay full price all day every day for their food.

    Food and service was great. Would have expected slightly larger portions for the price, but I would definitely still come back.

    Great service and food. Started with the stuffed hush puppies and ended with Thai chili wings. Highly recommend and will be back.

    We walked in and were a little confused as to how we would be seated. No one announced whether to seat ourselves or wait. Since no one approached us, we grabbed the first clean table nearest to us. We didn't wait terribly too long before a waitress approached us. This is a bar, so the volume is going to be loud. I was ok with that, because if you come to watch sports...this is perfect. They had several different sporting events on the various TVs. The only downside to my visit was minor. The paper menus were pretty dirty looking. Definitely time to replace them. I would invest in laminating the new ones. The items listed on the menu looked very appealing. It was really hard to decide what to get. I typically go straight to the burgers, but this time, I decided to get a Philly steak and cheese with hot chips. My daughter got mozzarella sticks and boneless wings. We were both pleased with our meals. Our waitress visited our table often. There is a lot of room in this restaurant and there even a[pears to be a party room in the back. They had great drink specials going on. I would definitely come back.

    I've been here a few times. It's alays a good experience. I sat at the bar and was greeted with enthusiasm. Ordered the Chicken Salad Sandwich and hot chips. Delicious as usual, forgot to take photos of menu or food. It's Saturday afternoon so lots of people watching college games, with lively conversations. Saw they're having a NYE party with buffet. I haven't seen anyone do this in a few years. Sounds like fun, and I just might be back in few days to review the NYE Party.

The wings had a lot of flavor and were a little spicy which I liked. The pretzels were delicious. The cheese sauce was the only thing that could've been better. We also got the garlic cheese curds and they were SO garlicky and cheesy. I was really impressed with those. My mom got the taco salad and she was really impressed. It comes in a taco shell which is a nice touch and they definitely didn't skimp on the ingredients. My favorite thing about this spot though was the vibe! We ended up there on karaoke night which was such a nice treat. They were doing a karaoke competition and had a panel of "judges" which was so fun! Our service was really good too.

I dislike how they give the cost of credit card processing to us as this is likely a tax deductible expense. Waitress came over to ask if we were okay and if we wanted another drink but she immediately turned and walked away before we could give an answer lol. This was comical to us. A few minutes later, we did order more drinks. I got a margarita this time and I wasn't fond of it either. I wasn't impressed with the drinks or the service during this visit.

The vibe is pure microbrewery and I'm so here for it!

Jeff, the owner & brewer, was behind the bar when I came in and he is the epitome of the foundation of the craft brew scene. All of the in-house beers were fantastic!

Beers had: -Vert Ramp Vanilla Cream Ale 5.3% The flavor notes on both the nose & body/finish on this one -Mile Marker 55 Mango Wit 5% Luved that the hint of very distinct mango was on the finish and the wheat/wit was on the front/middle palate! -Morning Sesh Coffee Stout 7% The coffee was prevalent but not overpowering...I could have this beer w/bfast! Made w/Dark Roast Sumatra -Get Barreled BBA Stout 10.1% This is perfection for the abv; no cloying sweetness, u get the toffee/vanilla behind the finish from the barrel-aging but the tannins & malt from the stout -in-barrel come through gorgeously giving u an unsweet BBA stout that holds up to the 10.1% -Shape Shack Passion Fruit Pear Sour 3.4% I usually don't do sours but this one drinks like a prickly pear (fruit) margarita, and I'm not mad about it!

Those not familiar, this is a Russian imperial stout by North Coast Brewery out of Ft Bragg, California. Something I haven't had since... well, I lived in California. Personally, one of my favorite stouts. Beer not your thing? They have an array of specialty contrails and some solid liquor choices including buffalo trace's limited purchase bourbon (eagle rare/ blantons). Food: the Brussels, sandwiches, and salads looked amazing (neighboring patting got those). We split a few things: Brisket: nit the best I have ever had, but solid choice. Maybe not for the $, but it was fall apart brisket. Wings: these are crispy fried with sauce on the side. A little hard but good. Not my favorite. The poutine was by far a favorite with the melty cheese and the gravy was delicious. We also had the street corn and with the lime was pretty good as well. These 4 things were plenty for the 2 of us with a little extra. We didn't mind paying the extra because of the experience. I did about die of heat, but I should have put a hair the in my bag and wore a skit or just not jeans. We will definitely be back.

I ordered the Daddy's Philly with a side of pesto pasta salad and banana pudding. The Phily was really good. It came loaded with cheese, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, jalapeños and Garlic mayo on a soft bun that wasn't soggy or stale. I was a little surprised because, despite the jalapeños, I didn't find it spicy at all. I love garlic but I think I would prefer regular mayo to the garlic mayo. Compared to other cheesesteaks I've had, I'd give it a 7.5/10. Instead of fries, I chose the pesto pasta salad. The pasta itself had the perfect chewy texture, and I honestly wanted to keep eating it. Unfortunately, it was too salty for my palate. I could only manage a couple of bites, which was disappointing because the texture was amazing.....like how do you get your pasta to that texture, spill the beans! Haha For dessert, I tried the banana pudding. It was good, but it wasn't my favorite style. I personally prefer banana pudding that's light, fluffy, and silky. This one was much thicker and heavier than what I grew up eating, so it just wasn't my preference. Overall, I enjoyed the meal, especially the Daddy's Philly. Of course, everyone's tastes are different, so these are simply my personal preferences. I'd still encourage you to give it a try and decide for yourself. Ciao for now!

So many delicious looking pics on Yelp that I was torn between numerous lunch options. I chose the meatloaf sub. Meatloaf on a soft hoagie bun covered with melted cheese, and a side of onion rings. The rings were nice and crisp and actual rings, not the premade minced onions that some serve. I didn't care for the dipping sauce so, when I was able to catch another server, requested ketchup. The sandwich was delicious with the meatloaf nicely flavored. It included a pesto spread which I didn't care for but some might. I would have preferred a marinara base but everyone has their own taste. I'll add this to my return-to places as I'd really like to try their brisket grilled cheese and meatloaf bowl.
