    The Pool Turtle o

    I went here for the first time on 12-12-2025 with my niece Mecca. We sat at the bar area she got a Sex on the beach drink and popcorn chicken. I got the non alcoholic beer and I ended up getting the lemon pepper wings with blue cheese and waffle fries. Good music the vibe is cool. Pull up and check this place out. They have pool tables and darts and corn hole games..

    6 dart boards and all 6 feet apart!

    This is the perfect place for so many reasons! So many pool tables, dart boards, spacious, great drinks selections and prices and an onsite food truck! The service is superior with the bartenders really bringing their A game! Don't miss out on this amazing hidden gem - and it is worth the drive even if you are across the city!

    Billiards, darts, board games, food, drinks. What more could you ask for? This space is huge! 16 x 7-ft diamond pool tables and 5 x 9-ft diamond pool tables, 6 dart lanes, 3 sets of cornhole boards, 100 board games to choose from, and 20 TVs. I went last Friday for their grand opening and it was PACKED! Which is really saying something because it's a large space. There is also a front patio as well. There is ample free parking in the lot right out front and in the bigger lot below that. This place is also woman-owned, which is super cool to me because there obviously aren't as many women that love the sport like me. Can't wait to be back and really be able to take advantage of everything this new spot has to offer.

    Stopped in today to kick off college football. Ordering was simple with the QR code, and drinks are available at the bar. Plenty of seating and a great overall concept--I hope they stick around for a long time. One note: the sound on the projector side could use improvement. It was tough to hear the game, and while maybe they're aiming for a quieter vibe, it would be great to have the audio up for the main game to really enhance the atmosphere.

    Lemon pepper flat wing .... fried x-crispy with fries ......

    Chicken wings by the lb. OMG Spinach Artichoke w/warm chips. We sat @ the bar & the service was fast & bartender Brent was attentive & friendly. The crowd was playing league pool, darts & lots of football games on the monitors. 1st visit BUT not Last !!!!! Ryan invited us back with his huge smile.

    New pool hall on Covington Hwy and Memorial Drive servicing food out of a dope food truck selling out wings and burgers. The ambience here is on point with a full bar and clean tables.

    I visited Harold's for the second time and unfortunately had a very different experience than my…read morefirst visit. Let me start with the positives: the food was good, the atmosphere was beautiful, and our server was pleasant and did her best during what appeared to be a very busy playoff night. The restaurant was crowded, so I understand delays can happen. The issue came when my boyfriend received a Long Island Iced Tea that did not taste right. He stirred it, took a few sips to test it, and then brought it to the bar to ask about it. He was instructed to wait for his server. By the time she returned, some time had passed and the ice had naturally begun to melt. The server agreed the drink appeared watered down and went to get a manager. Unfortunately, the interaction with management was where the experience went downhill. Before fully listening to the situation, the manager immediately became defensive and repeatedly stated that "all drink sales are final" and that this was how the drink was measured and prepared. As someone with over 20 years of management experience, I understand that not every complaint results in a refund or replacement. However, customer service starts with listening and understanding the concern before responding. A simple conversation, explanation, or even a professional acknowledgment of our concern would have gone a long way. What disappointed me was not the drink itself--it was the way the situation was handled. Good customer service can often turn a problem into a positive experience. Unfortunately, the manager's approach made us feel dismissed rather than valued as customers. We spent nearly $100 during our visit and paid the additional service charge that is automatically added to checks. Combined with the valet and parking fees being charged that evening, we expected a higher level of customer care. I still believe Harold's is a beautiful establishment with good food and a great atmosphere. My hope is simply that management takes customer concerns more seriously and approaches situations like this with professionalism and respect.

Drink was amazing. 20%gratuity added automatically. Live Dj on Thursday nights. Great music and transitions. Most nights they have either a live band, live artist or live DJ.

That video alone made me follow them on social media, and when I saw they were hosting Soul Food Sunday, I gathered a few of my girlfriends and we decided to stop by. The restaurant was moderately packed, with a steady flow of guests coming in for to go orders. It is a sit yourself setup, and we ended up in Cira''s section. She was prompt, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. She explained items clearly, offered thoughtful suggestions, and checked on us consistently without being overbearing. The space is very spacious with a semi club feel, yet there is still plenty of seating for dining comfortably. The music was a great mix of Southern Soul, hip hop, R and B, and old school classics, which added to the overall vibe without taking away from conversation. I ordered the turkey wings with macaroni and cheese and yams. The turkey wings were flavorful and tender, and I thoroughly enjoyed the sides. I do wish the meal came with a cornbread muffin or something similar to round it out, but overall it was satisfying and well prepared. The only area that could use improvement is the restroom. There was a noticeable sewage smell, and the toilet paper was simply placed on top of the sanitary disposal bin, which was not the best presentation. Aside from that, I would absolutely return, especially to experience Taco Tuesday in person.

    This is a fu. Hang out spot especially for line dancing night. The service is usually pretty good,…read morewings are decent but the drinks are kind weak. I still however recommend.

I read all these reviews about "J" being a good server, and there is no exaggerating about her at all. She greeted me like she knew me when I walked in, and it just continued the whole meal. Lots of seating inside, and a great patio area outside. Comfortable seating for a party of two, and lots of room for larger groups and families. The menu was small but full of really amazing sounding flavors. I'd call it a mixture of Asian-fusion take on some traditional foods. My friend and I shared some Tuna Poke and KFC Bao Buns--yum!! I wanted a sake that wasn't too sweet and asked J for her recommendation. The very unique Matcha Sake was perfect!! Wish I didn't have y buy the bottle, but glad to take it home too. For entrees, my friend ordered the Bibimbap with Beef in the hot stone bowl (+$), and I tried the Garlic Noodles with shrimp (adding mushrooms and spinach for some veggies+$). Both were UH-mazing! The dishes weren't too big, but we still had enough to take home. We'll be back to try some of the other dishes. If you go, tell J ("like the letter") that she's Yelp famous.

Had a bulgogi bento box (which came with gyoza) so had even more than we thought, and also ordered the Big Kim burger (sauce on the side). Bento box had the usual variety and tasted quite good, and the burger was also very tasty. Thankfully I ordered the kimchi mayo on the side, as I didn't like it. I do feel each entree was a few dollars more than it should have been, so the value wasn't as good as I thought it would be. 3.5 stars

It is a pub, so there's lively music and billiard games happening in the back. Parking is limited so we parked at a nearby lot. The bathrooms were decent, but my stall definitely needed attention. Now, the star of the show was absolutely the smoked wings. We ordered 20 mild mixed with garlic and 10 mild mixed with lime pepper. Those are probably some of the best smoked wings I've ever had. Flavorful, and the blue cheese was made in house. We also ordered the blue cheese fries and those were amazing as well. The food came out relatively quick and our server was so attentive!

Tables are big enough ando also there's some shared spots right next to the pool tables. It's casual and relaxed, decent variety of food and drinks. My experience with the service was good, they answered a few questions about the beers and it didn't take that long to get our order ready. In terms of food, I think it's ok, nothing that really surprised me; I got a burger and it tasted good. My only complaint is about the fries, they taste like they been cooked hours ago and just been reheated at the moment. Parking is very very limited, you'll be lucky to find a spot, otherwise you will have to plan to find a spot nearby.
