    Mozzarella Sticks (we already ate half)
    Kimberly A.

    Cute little place! Jesse was our bartender and he was awesome! Personable and attentive. Mozzarella sticks were excellent, fried pickles were ok (I thought they would be crispy, they were not). Pictures of apps were of course after we dived in because I forgot. I did not get pictures of the entrees, but I HIGHLY recommend the BLT, caprese (mozz, tomato, basil) sandwich, and the sweet heat wings (they aren't lying about the heat). Definitely will come back if I'm ever in town.

    Pizza in the parking lot instead of inside at a table.

    Pizza is very good. Ambiance and location is very good. Service was good. Now as far as communication........ Had a reservation and was never seated. Ate in the parking lot.

    Showed up on Friday night with a group and we sat at the bar (but it wasn't that busy) It took over 15 minutes just to get someone's attention. We ordered both drinks and pizza. Service was VERY slow and the bartenders/servers were RUDE. When they came out with our slices we had a question and she got angry at us because we interrupted as if she didn't know what she was doing. The pizza was burnt and not very flavorful. It was very disappointing. Not coming back and wouldn't recommend to others.

    The Bucket
    Lanasha R.

    The Brownstone, previously Four Dad's Pub, was a stop on a happy hour hop around with friends. I like the no-frills atmosphere and menu. I tried the spicy friend chicken and bacon slice topped with hot honey which complimented the jalapeños. I was a bit confused when trying to order a drink because some of the drinks, specifically "The Bucket", were not on the menu. The bartender mentioned it had liquor but did not mention the entire thing was alcohol, be wary LOL. All around, a good time and great place for a slice and drink.

    Pizza was delicious and service was great. Went on A Wednesday evening and it was a very chill ambiance.

    Was torn between a 3 or 4 and decided to give the benefit up. Popped in and sat at the bar the other night- no bartender behind the bar ? Waited a bit and was getting ready to leave when a guy sitting at the bar offered to get us a drink- apparently the bartender was out moving her car ? If he had waited any longer to do that, we would have walked out (that had happened one other time). Cool vibe with the good weather having the windows open - wish they would put the buffalo chicken dip back on the menu

    Puddle of cheese
    Bobby D.

    I can only speak to their takeout pizza and it's TRASH. Barely cooked and toppings are just chopped up and thrown on top of puddled cheese. Tastes like cheap 3 AM pizza. Very disappointed. Very gross.

    Very good pie, vodka pepperoni basil with hot honey, was delicious. Low key vibe with excellent customer service.
    Phil Thomas

    Pizza was awesome and the server/bartender was very accommodating. The ambiance was low key, come as you are.

    City Sports Grille - Burger with loaded fries

    Tried again, better but still lacking…read more Been a while since I've been to this location. Decided to give them another try and see if things have improved. Place was dead when I wandered in. Just myself and a couple other patrons at far sides of the place. Bartender was playing waitress as well. Very nice but very casual. Opted for their fruit juice mocktail and the jammin burger with loaded fries. Food and drink came out quick, so I took my pics and dug in. The mocktail was pretty much orange and pineapple juice with a fruit garnish. It was fine for what you got, and the price was reasonable at 4 bucks. Nothing special, but something to sip on if you're with company. The burger was executed flawlessly. Cooked well, not seasoned but done so with intention. The buttered bun and jam were salty to begin with, so they chose to unseason the burger, relying on the condiments to balance the dish out. The chef has skill, and you can tell it by their preparation. The trouble was the quality of the ingredients. The burger is straight ground meat, pressed to a patty and frozen. The chef did what they could to gussy up the burger, but was working with ingredients they could not control. When they had control in the ingredients and preparation, they put in care. The actual burger patty was very much the biggest detriment to the dish. The fries were good, cheap cheese and bagged fries but ample amounts of toppings and cooked perfectly. Good, but there's evidence that there could be something better. As a chain location tied to a bowling alley, it's perfectly fine pub bites. The servers are nice, but I feel that the chef is constrained. If given the opportunity, the chef could produce some magic on the plates. but they are stuck to the playbook, the source ingredients and the margins they need to stay in. That cheapens the food to cookie cutter molds and is a crying shame. The foods acceptable, the staff is good, and the venue is clean. One day I hope they can shed the chain and let the chef take the wheel. till then though, it's okay

    Food is typical bar food; affordable and tasty. The restaurant is connected to the bowling alley,…read moremaking it super convenient. The food served at the lanes is also from the Grille. Fries, wings, pizzas, burgers etc. While you're bowling a server comes to take your food and drink orders so you don't have to leave your lane. Service has been good and I've had a birthday party there and it's so great to have the server handle the food, drinks, party supplies and helping with the arcade area. Ambiance is very chilled. It's a typical bar but has seating and tables if you don't or can't sit at the bar with children. It's clean. Staff is great. Quick service. I don't mind eating there when we're at the bowling alley.

    We had a dinner reservation for 6pm and sports simulator reservation for 7-8pm on a Saturday…read more No table was ready for ready for 6pm, and our drink orders weren't taken until about 6:15. We were a party of ten. I ordered a mojito, and was informed that there was no white rum available, so I just ordered another cocktail. When it came time to order dinner, I ordered the half chicken, only to be told that they were out of that, too, so I ordered a Cobb salad with steak. The food and drink were okay. Several appetizers were ordered; one order of nachos never arrived, we were told there was no calamari about 30 minutes after putting in our order. A couple of the meals were not eaten because they just weren't good. We had to ask for water and ask for utensils. Our waitress was nice, but overall, everything seems to be extremely disorganized, careless and overwhelmed. I would not return unless someone wanted to celebrate something and they wanted to go there.

    "Got you on my mind but it's not enough Give me stadium…read morelove" (Carly Rae Jepsen) Anyone remember the old Farmington Marriott on Farm Springs Road, just off the Fienemann Road exit on I-84? Well, the Marriott is long gone- replaced by a glitzy ultra-modern apartment complex. And on the first floor of that apartment complex is a sports bar unlike any sports bar I've ever seen. Stadium XV brings the neighborhood sports bar to a whole new level. It has the expected big screen TVs, and we saw three broadcasts featuring soccer, golf and ESPN. But what really differentiates Stadium XV is their variety of interactive multi-sport simulated games. Want to kick a real soccer ball at a life-sized video goalie? Want to take a few at bats against a fire balling pitcher? Want to swing a real golf club on a video golf course? You can also kick a football field goal, play disk golf or footgolf. We even heard there is a Zombie Hunt option! The sports themed space is gorgeous and accented with stadium seats and scoreboards. And the various menus are awesome. When we walked in, we were greeted by the manager Dana, who gave us a personal tour of the restaurant and the new common areas of the apartments. Dana raved about their Maple Dijon Brussels Sprouts and Chicken Wings, so we included both in our order. For lunch, we hopped from the regular menu to their version of a Happy Hour menu, named "Pre-Game" to match their sports theme. We went with both of Dana's recommendations from the regular menu -8 wings for $15 and the Brussels Sprouts for $14. Then we jumped to the Happy Hour menu for calamari at $7. The jumbo wings are brined for 48 hours before dry roasting and can be ordered in five styles - Buffalo, Korean BBQ, House BBQ, Hot Honey, and Garlic Parmesan. Wings are served with house-made ranch or blue cheese. We went with four Korean BBQ and four Garlic Parmesan. The KBBQ wings were mine, and I was very satisfied with them. Two huge drumettes and two flats slathered in an addictive barbecue sauce. They were fantastic. And so were the Brussels Sprouts- roasted and tossed in a house-made maple dijon glaze with ground pistachios, goat cheese and fresh herbs. Outstanding. And then there was my calamari, one of my favorite (but tricky to execute) bar foods. I say tricky because I've been disappointed so many times with pale, soggy, chewy, limp noodle versions. But my Sweet Lord, these were great. Well-cooked to a golden crunch, zero traces of oil, and big giant pieces in a big giant portion. Just between you and me, this $7 Happy Hour choice is a GD steal. Our server Jenna was fantastic, as were our interactions with Dana who showed us around the restaurant's private rooms after our meal. Private parties are definitely on their radar, in fact they were setting up for two holiday parties last night. Our delicious lunch ran just $38.64 before tip, and we took home half the Brussels and Calamari. The wings never had a chance to escape their serving dish. Oh, and there's even more good news because they'll be adding a Weekend Brunch to their dining options in the New Year. Thank you, Dana and Jenna, for a great lunch at an amazing new venue. See ya for Brunch in 2025.

Awesome! Our server Jeremy was professional and efficient. We got a couple coffees to start with to try to get us over the coast-to-coast time difference and also to warm up (it had been a brisk windy 48 degrees all morning!) Then we ordered a Farmer's salad with blackened chicken and the Bangers and mash. The food came out maybe 25-30 minutes later, oh and worth the wait! Because the blackened chicken was piping hot, I wish it had been slightly to the side of the spring mix lettuce so that the salad would be a bit crisper but the flavors were wonderful. It came with a balsamic vinaigrette. My husband's Bangers and Mash included garlicky mashed potatoes, a rich thick mushroom gravy, and flavorful sausages, all on a bed of vegetables. Mmm super satisfying. Cozy welcoming ambience. Reasonable prices for the quality and quantity of food I think.
