Staff continued to serve a woman who was clearly very intoxicated, which was uncomfortable and felt irresponsible. On top of that, there was obvious drug activity going on in the bathroom that seemed to be completely ignored. It didn't feel like a safe or well-managed environment. Disappointing, because the live music deserved better.

Yet I had an awesome time after all! Props to the woman working all jobs behind the bar because I don't know how she did it but we NEVER waited for a drink or shot! One friend was playing quick draw and had no problems paying or cashing in. And they ordered wings that did not go to waste. My allergies never bothered me despite the dog. We played darts all night which was really fun and no issues with cheap broken dart tips. I look forward to coming again when in the area.

Find some amazing non-traditional/house wings and try them out so we could figure out some of the bests of Lockport. Josie's Honey Hot wings made our list to try. The wings themselves were pretty good, I would give them a 4 star. They are sweet and spicy, close enough to a normal wing that it hits the spot, but different enough to be a change of pace. Some of the people voted this as their favorite, but it's not an top 3 wing for me. So why the 3 star review? This was our worst service of the day. The women behind the bar had a terrible attitude. Right out of the bat I gave her a $20 for the wings and said keep the change(about a $10 tip) because of the size of our group and that we would also tip on drinks. Her response was "fine". She got everyone their drinks and then sat in the corner seemingly bothered or inconvenienced. She really killed the vibe for the group. I have been before and service was better with other bartenders, but this is the 2nd or 3rd time I have received similar service from this bartender in particular.

When you're heading there, you may think you're going the wrong way as it's in a more industrial area and the main restaurant is a storage container. Since my first visit, they have really expanded their area and their menu. They now have a large outdoor seating area with a fire pit and bocce ball courts. They have league bocce on certain nights. On this particular visit, I just ordered ahead for pick up. My order was hot and ready, waiting for me when I arrived. I ordered the chicken pizza rolls, which are juicy rotisserie chicken, rolled up in their homemade dough, then baked in a wood fire then brushed with garlic butter and Parmesan cheese. You are able to choose a dipping sauce as well as a wing sauce. I chose blue cheese and BBQ. The rolls were delicious and had big chunks of chicken in them. I would definitely order them again!

We hadn't tried this location of Big Ditch yet, so we chose Big Ditch for the evening. Having been to Big Ditch in Buffalo many, many.... many times before, the quality and service were no surprise. Food is good, service is good, beers (although I can't drink them anymore) I'm sure are good. One of the more pleasing parts of the evening is the location this Big Ditch was built into. Historic building in the middle of town; a lot for someone interested in history, architecture and art. The dinning and bar area is spacious. There is a separate downstairs area with a full bar and game room. Like the Buffalo Big Ditch, it is diverse and offers options for someone looking to host an event or party. Solid.
