I wanted to love this place SO BAD!! There's an attached arcade!!…read moreAnd the staff was SO NICE and friendly and helpful and I loved the industrial, creative decor. But we'd spent the day at McWane Center and we were starving so we were there to EAT! The food looked gorgeous but it tasted very meh. The onion rings had too much breading on them, which I didn't think was possible, but here we are. The part of the breading next to the onion was mushy so that threw off the texture of the whole thing too. The burger was very much like a Whataburger. Even the lettuce smelled the same. I got The Standard and the bun of the burger was a little mushy (similar to Whataburger) and there was not much meat. For an $11 burger, I'm expecting more than a Whataburger. My middle kid likes everything on her burger and isn't picky at all and the loaded kid burger looked impressive but it was about the same as mine. Not awful, but not very good either. Very close to the same amount of meat. She's the queen of the Clean Plate Club and she only ate half. The fries were good but a somewhat too salty, the dip that came with the onion rings was excellent and we ended up using it for the fries. We had 2 adults and 3 kids and our meal was $63 before tip for 5 waters, 2 adult burgers, 2 kid burgers, a kid grilled cheese, and a basket of fries and onion rings (I thought I was ordering a "side" of fries, not realizing I actually ordered a basket and it was a lot of fries and onion rings). We don't mind spending money on good food, but the prices here don't align with what you get. No one was more disappointed than me, I've been wanting to eat here for FOREVER!!!

The staff was friendly and patient as I forgot my readers so a lot of questions were asked. Thank you Andreana. We had the tenderloin (which I haven't had in YEARS). I was not disappointed. We also had the southerner and it was tasty. They had a happy hour where I got a wine and husband got a frozen drink. Then round 2 I opted for the daily drink, daiquiri. Each day there is a different drink as a special. I enjoyed the music and the vibe. Would come back to this place when I'm in Birmingham again.

I have been here for lunch a couple of times now for The Work Week Lunch Deal - Standard Burger (or…read more6 wings), Side , Soda/Tea for $13.49. A really good deal! Seated immediately and ready to take your order as soon as you decide. The Standard Burger (Lettuce. tomato, onion, pickles, horsey sauce & american cheese) is really good. Fries are cooked just right. Previously I got a mix of the Fries and Onion Rings. Onion Rings are great too! I have had The Three Hander sandwich (Niman ranch corned beef, fries, tomato, jalapenos, creamy slaw, dijonaise, mozzarella on sourdough) from their original location which is great too. I should probably try other things as well but the lunch deal is hard to pass up. Since it is not too far from my office, will definitely continue to be a part of my regular lunch rotation. Only downside for me is the parking. There are limited spots on the street out front. Adjacent to the building there is a lot that is part of the apartment complex behind it but not really enough spaces for the 2 restaurants.

Parking in the area seems to consistently be a challenge even for a weekday lunch…read more I was able to be seated immediately on the outdoor covered patio area. Not sure if the artificial turf is always there or left from the Masters viewing. But it was nice. Downside to the area is it can be heavy traffic as it also serves as the entrance. Also one of the generally unsupervised children nearly hit me in the face with one of the golf flags. My most recent visit I chose the South of the Border Rollup (Smoked turkey, provolone, lettuce, southwestern sour cream served zesty salsa) with a side of Fries. The Southwestern Sour Cream apparently was detained by the border guards because I tasted no evidence of it which left me with a mundane basic turkey and cheese rolled up in a tortilla. It was salvaged by a combination of the ranch I had with my highlight of the meal Fries mixed with the salsa. The Fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned just right with a touch of salt. I remember my previous visit being more enjoyable (sat inside) and will return to try some other options in the future but would not order the rollup again.

Went here for a work event, and while this type of place isn't really my thing, I can definitely…read moresee why people would love it and spend a good amount of time here. It's a pretty neat hangout spot with a bar and food service, virtual baseball and football, bowling, darts, and several other games. Our work event had lunch catered, including green beans, mac and cheese, sliders, chicken tenders, rosemary potatoes, cookies, brownies, and doughnut holes. Overall, the food was pretty good. The mac and cheese was a little bland and could have used more seasoning, but the chicken tenders were seasoned and cooked perfectly. Honestly, if I wasn't there for work, I probably would have gorged myself on those chicken tenders . And the brownie? Spectacular. Thick, moist, and super fudgy, definitely the highlight for me! Service was great also-they came around routinely checking in to see if we needed any drinks, cleaned up plates, etc. Not necessarily somewhere I'd go specifically for myself, but I can absolutely see the appeal for groups, work events, or anyone looking for a fun place to hang out, eat, drink, and play some games.

I come here usually when some big sports game is on, and they have some good TVs around for watching with friends. They have draft beers, high noons, well cocktails, nothing particularly special in terms of drink or food, just bar food. Service is relatively quick and you order up at the bar, no table service. I must confess, this is not my favorite spot in town. The one time I've been here later at night, security was eerily tight for suburban Homewood. Like they searched my purse and had security inside. Eerie, indeed. Bathrooms can get kinda gross, wet floors. This space has so much potential for hosting larger events! It's huge when you open it up to the back, which they rarely do. Would love to see it reinvented.

Staff is always friendly and will make sure you are taken care of when you arrive with the food of your choice or a cold beverage. We have a regular group of people that visit here quite often as they keep different specials for everything whereas it is the food specials, the drink specials or upcoming events. We enjoy visiting each and every time. The location for us is nearby so we can round up the local neighbors and drop by to watch the different sports on TV or enjoy the weekly Trivia contest. The food menu is typical for a sports bar but is always served hot and fresh and the weekly specials are always interesting to try. Stop by sometime and give them a try.

It looked like only two waitresses were working, so it took a while for our order to be taken. We also did not realize we had to order at the bar. The food came out very quickly once we ordered.

The restaurant has a casual, no-frills vibe. It feels more like a neighborhood bar than a full restaurant. There are TVs playing sports. If you are looking for something relaxed and familiar, this place gives off that laid-back, down the street feel. A spot to grab something decent, enjoy some music, and head back home.

The wings were good, just a little on the thicker side, and the ranch was AMAZING! It had a different flavor than your typical ranch, but it was really good. Even though the restaurant was super crowded and busy, our server did a great job making sure both myself and my guest were taken care of.

I had intended to save a couple of the chicken pieces and some of the tots for lunch the next day. But it was so good I ate it all! Even though parking can be a little challenging at the SoHo area, I consistently can find an available space in the underground parking garage. While I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch, they need a lunch menu with smaller portions and pricing for me to come back more often.
